Maintenance sled?

Yeah, it doesn't HAVE to be Hoth, just thought it might be more
recognizeable, what with an AT-AT (or AT-ATs? Shaun? :) ) approaching the
base... But we could also go for a more earthy tone too-- I could try and work
in some touches of brown and green...
As for the hanger, yeah, big is the way to go! Fit a whole squad of B-Wings and
some other odds and ends (X-Wings, Y-Wings, Snowspeeders, etc.) The one thing
I'm thinking might be a problem for me is that I think I only have enough to do
1 exterior section... MAYBE two... I'm just picturing kind of a T shaped base
with the base of the T being my exterior module and the other modules extending
beyond it on both sides... That might look a little silly... Although, there's
no rule about lining them up all in a line with the exterior at the end
either... But if I do a Hoth scene with white snow, there's more of a chance I
could get two baseplates done (I've got much more white than brown & green)
Anyway, I'll take a look tonight and see roughly what I can squeeze out of my
remainging grey, white, brown, and green... I almost wonder if I have enough
tan to cover a good portion of a large baseplate (Tatooine!)... I could
probably use tan baseplates for the exterior parts... hmmm...
<does some calculations, returns to message>
I have exactly enough 16x32 tan baseplates to cover two 48x48 baseplates (9 of
'em)! So that's a possibility too...
