    More details added. Will be adding a bay gate( not sure what they are called) and some minor other details.




    I took some out door photos(not really good ones, as it was still early in the morning), but the results were enough to let me know it looks good in the outdoors.

            Hahaha! I knew someone would finally ask that question. That is a good question. when I was putting it together, I just thought I would put something together, that will make the area, seen through the bay doors, look interesting. Maybe some kind of industrial, öcooling system or a hydralic, electrical system. The area I used to take photo will be closed.

                          I Made the docking bay door out some pieces of styrene.





                          The final bay door in place:




                          I then painted some thin white styrene stripes blue, for the trimming at the top edge of the building.






                          The bay door 'open & close' mechanism. I used a small piece I found in my 'box of tricks' and sliced up thin round styrene rod for the buttons.





                          The finished mechanism.
