Afternoon all,

I'm a bit stuck and wonder whether anyone has any pithy solutions to MF
cockpit corridors and saucer pieces.

I've been modifying the stock MF, cleaning up details and proportions here and
there.  On the whole I'm pretty pleased with the result.  I have relocated and
rebuilt the cockpit (sticking with the huge glass piece).  I just cannot for
the life of me work out how to get the corridor to seem to join onto the
saucer.

Anyone devised a solution?  It's tasking me to the extent that I have been
tempted to pick up the exacto knife and have at the offedning saucer section!
Before I did something so heinous, I thought to check with you guys...

Still baldly going...

First, there probably isn't any way around the saucer piece and for the
corridor, you need a lot of those angled pieces from the castle sets.  I don't
know how to describe them, they're 3 studs wide and they're stepped so they
angle at 45 degrees.  There are ones with five studs as well.  I spent the
better part of a week modifying the cockpit and creating a corridor and the
best I could do was create one that the minifigs just barely fit through.  The
trick is to make it strong enough to support the rather heavy cockpit.  It
takes a while but it's worth it, I thought the cockpit was all wrong on the
stock version.  Hope this helps.
