This is something that would hold a B-Wing while on the Hanger Floor while
major repairs were being done. It would also have repulsor lift capability so
that mainenance crews could move the B-Wing to another area of the Hanger.

Whatever you think you could do would be great. Like I said I don't have any
Ideas "burned" into my head yet so I want to Experiment with as many ideas as
possible :-). The bigger and more diverse the better. I also want to
document as much of this project as possible so that if in we are still doing
this in 6 months or a year or more we can look back at the pictures and say
"what were we thinking?" or "you know that really was a good idea lets go back
and revisit it".
I know that other groups have their train layouts and town layout etc. and they
are really cool and wouldn't mind doing that to but this is something different
and I want to see where we can take it both as part of NELUG and maybe to the
general LEGO community as well.
