OK cool :)

Yep, I agree. Though sometimes the limitations
on parts also force you to re-use a lot. :)

True.. But it was the easiest way to get an external
dome bridge onto the ship. It would have been a lot
more difficult to build the underside of the bridge
with such details than to use the single piece that
matches the dome canopy. :)

They're also used at the rear of that hull section as
well, but that's harder to see because of the engine
stantions. There's also a window at the rear of that
section as well, which looks out into the engine assembly.
Inside the engine asembly there are some display
consoles, so that looking out the window gives you a
view of the engine status.

Yeah, kinda superfluous, but I was in an "adding detail"
mode and started sticking things on... hehe :)

I've had those for quite a while... since before I
fully emerged from my dark ages (it was gradual,
since I got a few star wars sets, then a few spaceport
sets, and then went nuts).. :) They -might- be from the
Naboo Fighter, but I could be wrong. If not, then they're
from one of the current Spaceport sets. I may have to
go back and look through some of the instruction sets.
Oh yes, actually I seem to recall them being on the
rim of the centrifuge in the Simulation set (6455) which
I just verified in the picture here on Lugnet.
> i love the details in that pic by the way
Thanks. :) I love showing the closeups of the
vehicles with the science crew getting ready for
an expedition. Those are some of the more fun
pictures to do.

Hmmm... the sloped panel with the flame (actually
is a 2x2x1 standard slope shape) came with one of
the larger spaceport sets (either the Simulation Station
or Mission Control set), but I think you can get it with the
"fuel truck" set that's 50% off through S@H's phone
special this week. If you look at the Mission Control
(6456) picture here on Lugnet, you can see one there.
The horizontal dots, if I'm looking at the right thing, is
actually on the same slope as the flame piece (like I
said, it's 2 wide).
The black rectangle with 3 verticle dots is actually a
black sloped piece. I have no memory of which set it
was from, unfortunately. Might have been one of the
star wars sets, or one of the older space-theme sets
I may have picked up along the way.
