Tom and Greg,
Both good ideas.
How about this: Two 1x2x1/3 hingeplate assemblies(they look like a 2x2 plate
when closed) connected in a 'z' shape. This way the hinge points could stay
inside the four stud diameter circle and the door would open with a little more
freedom and accessability for the minifig.
I like the idea of spring loading it though. pull and pin and it ejects into
the air. Lot's of fun it would be.
I'll play with all the ideas a little more when I get home and report back my
findings.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Ben
