Thanks ;-) I will have enough grey pieces once my next shipment of sets to
part comes in to finish it and maybe even build a hangar for it.

Well, I really wanted to have round corridors using hinges and white tiles but
that would require the corridor structure to be 10 studs wide and to be able
to have that, the falcon would have to be twice as big. As for the
limitations, I ran out of grey 1x1, 1x2 and 1x3 bricks for the interiors and
that was the main reason it wasn't finished.

Actually after each creation is completed, I display it for a while then get
tired of looking at it, disassemble it, sell the pieces, take a little break
and start all over again :-)

Thanks!
