Hey there. I've been away from my comp. I just got back from OKC.
Thanks Lindsay! Your guess was actually correct about me using the eggs for
hydroponics but I had a few other ideas for them until then. I've wanted to
use a duplo egg for a ship ever since I first saw them.
The interior does rotate. At the base (inside) are 4 2x2 round bricks that
make the conversion from the Duplo studs to System studs. On top of these
is a 4x4 black turntable. The spinning works fairly well but its not
perfect. This will probably not be the first time I use an egg for a ship
so the next time I'd like to improve the spinning mechanism.
