Hi all,

Having finished the 25mm Albatross Dropship, and am now finalizing the 15mm
one, I have come to a fork and spoon in the road. Nether are much help with
what I need, but I picked
them up anyway. D'OH!  :-o
Should I include an interior of the cockpit for the 15mm Albatross
dropship?!   I wouldn't
normally have any kind of interiors for any 15's, but Peter Pig makes some
very kool seated figs that fit perfectly in our 15mm Badger Mk I's and II's,
(In fact, I believe Martin designed them based on our Badgers?), and I thought
it would look rad with them in seats in the cockpit. They come with their own
consoles, so all it would be is the seats, and a clear vacummformed canopy.

What say you? Yeah, or nay?

I doubt very much it'll jump the price uber high. In fact it is a toss up. The
cost of resin for the "filled" cockpit, or the cost of the vacumformed plastic
for the canopy?

Anyway, just need some input from everyone. L8r, David

Why not make the kit hollow and then have a resin dropin and a cockpit
dropin... that way people can decide as they go?

I was going to suggest something similar but that the detailed cockpit be an
accessory kit. If it was modular enough you could use it as an upgrade to
other, future, vehicle kits.
