I'm tearing my hair out trying to add internal doors to my latest MOC. I have built several staterooms/cabins, but have been unable to come up with a decent door mechanism. The doors that Lego makes are not futuristic-looking enough for my taste. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) What about a hinged door made of plates? You can use a 1x2 plate with handle attached to 1x1 plates with vertical clips as a hinge, or you can use the 2/3 finger hinges. Remember that 5 plates is the same height as 2 studs. Here are some (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)
