Cool. I've used 4 2x4x4 half cylinders to make a Corellian Corvette escape
pod. Most sitting minifigs fit snugly in them.

This is exactly what I was playing with last night.  I was using two halves.
One white and one trans dark blue.  Look pretty cool.  I was thinking they
could be half way recessed into the wall with the white side exposed.  To
escape, they would rotate 180 degrees, the transblue piece rotate open, the
minifig gets in, door closes and the pod ejects from the ship.

Havn't figured out a good way to hinge it open and still allow it to rotate
within a 4x4 space.

Any suggestions?

(...) I'm at work right now thinking of this: Initially I was thinking of a 4x4 cone or radar dish on the topside, and at least one 2x2 round, possibly a cone, on the bottom for exhaust. Obviously the bottom cone makes it one higher. The shape of it (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.starwars)
