Hi Dan,
I'd like to get the set and convert it for use with minifigs.  Is that
feasible given the instructions for the set?  What the interior pieces? • Can
it be "hollowed out" easily?  Or would extensive revisions be required?
Either way I'm getting it :-)

The bridge is partly hollow inside the "truncated conical areas" (couldn't
think of a better way to put it!) but not by much - you could probably sit a
couple of minifigs in each half of the bridge. The main body is pretty solid
except in the areas on each side with the turbolaser turrets which are on
hinges and could be opened, but no but much, and you could maybe squeeze one
fig in each side. This ship is really too small for minifigs - microfig
scale maybe, but not minifig. If you want to use it as a mini Corvette then
you're going to have to redesign much of the bridge to open it up, but I'm
not sure how that would affect it structurally. I'd be interested to see
what you come up with.

Dan
