Hi Ben,
What do you mean when you refer to a 1x4x5 train door? I don't have any
train sets, and looking through the latest S@H I couldn't find anything
comparable. Could you tell me a set # that it comes in (so I can look
that up), or a webpage with a picture of one? And, as a last note, what
colors do they come in? Always looking for escape hatches for the AT-AT
... :)
Thanks,
Shaun

| A couple of weeks back there was a bit of discussion on making escape pods. I was trying to figure out a good way to make mini-fig pods for my Millennium Falcon. Got a lot of ideas from people and here is what I've come up with. Three corner castle (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jul-99, to lugnet.starwars)
