very nice! I love your techique of hinged plates forming the hull, I'm gonna steal your idea as I always run out of bricks and have plates to burn.

The sides with red stuff on them fold down for easy access. The 4 small ones are considered the doors while the foreward ones are just purely for easy access.

Using plates as walls is a great way to create ships with more interesting shapes than just rectangles, and to save on bricks.

Actually, plates can be used as cheapy walls by pushing one end vertically into the inbetween of the studs.

Whilst looking at how the floor of Dark Ka's throne room is divided into two plates, I half expected him to drop the beamsaber guy through the floor.

love the ship, I can see it dropping ninjas from low orbit onto an unsuspecting target. (being ninjas: without a chute)
- I refuse to be stopped by something as irrelevant as logic, the laws of physics, or common sense -

if 20 chickens can fit in a brick, how many pingpongballs does a crocodile have to eat so it can swim faster than a washing machine?

I have no idea. You figure it out.

I think the Snowtrooper headpieces would work really well, but you would have to paint them to make them fit in with the rest of your guys.

For red ninjas, Imperial Guards, for white ninjas, Snowtroopers, etc..

You could use the darktron jetpack frames, but possibly only as a form of landing, not fighting.
