O.K. Problem solved, maybe! If there is enough head room. Does the Landspeeder
ring a bell.
This is assuming that the cockpit has 2 studs on the bottom!
1) put a 2x4 or 2x6 plate on the bottom
2) on top of that put a 4x4 or 4x6 plate
3) now put 4 1x2 plates with one center stud
4) 2 seats on those
5) build the rest of the cockpit around that design (computers,
ect....)
This all perviding that there is clearance for the minifigs heads! What do you
thinks!
