Hey, that's cool! I don't have a ton of money either, just a nose for

Well, it's hard to say where to begin. Obviously, the number and variety of
pieces is more spice for the recipe. Do you have other sets, parts, and so
on that can be used in the ship? As far as building it, you just gotta let
your mind wander. I built a big UFO from similar pieces (two big saucers
mated bottom to bottom with a two sided bricks that joined them). Or, if
you're good with wiring, get a mini black lamp somewhere inside your ship
and see how freaky it looks all lit up (because of the flourecent yellow
transparent pieces). Does this help att all?
