That would be fine. A lot of the detail is going to be added over time and
inbetween service pack orders. Currently I am trying to figure out this
Maintenance sled. I think using Technic will give me the best look although I
unfortunatly don't have alot of Technic at the moment.

Well I actually have a number of thoughts on all of this.
1. It could be an Ice planet but it doesn't have to be Hoth. I am really
looking to go "Freestyle" with this and use general ideas from the movies but
really go more to our own design and develope our own story set in the Star
Wars Universe but just not the known Star Wars Universe.
2. They had AT-AT's at Endor you know :). Not that I want to model Endor and
a bunch of over-stuffed teddy bears but there is no rule that AT-AT's only work
on snow. (Although that is how most people think of them).
3. Although my focal point is the B-Wing hanger I want the hanger to be big
enough for other fighters and small frieghters so we could have
SnowSpeeders/X-Wings etc on the floor as well.
Do you think this fits? I definitely want to try and fit an AT-AT or two into
the scene.
