Stormtroopers. I've got a couple of reasons for that. One is that you just see them more often in the movies than you do Scout Troopers. Two is that I just think they look cooler. My only problem is that they're only available in the TIE Fighter set (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

I guess being a military purist, I would use them in the specific function they are meant for. For a bunker, you would have stormtroopers as guards and a group of scout troopers for recon. Also you would have a number of officers (hope you like (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

In answer to my own problem, I busted out Sebulba's pod and used 4 black 2x2 'L' plates and a dk gray 1x8 plate for each wing. My solution (sorry, don't have a .dat file) is this: Take off the offending lt gray 2x10 plate. Attach the 'L' plates like (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
