You haven't been looking in the right areas of Shapeways. When you go there do a search for DEAGO and you'll find tons of stuff, including that bunk above the seating the way it should look.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays. I'll be posting progress pics after the new year... been kinda bogged down with the holidays between work and family, but hopefully after the season settles down a bit, I'll be able to do some more work on this! Thanks for understanding... until then...

G'day LrdSatyr , wishing you and yours a belated ' Happy New Year ! ' . Thanks for the reply on another post re; alternative ramp mechanism . Seen what you and ( sorry forgot the other 3-D modeller you've collaborated with ) , came up with . Looks terrific , though I'm just after something that will compensate for the ramp leading up to a ' false ' corridor . It won't look as good , but probably more affordable price-wise .
Would like to know if you'd consider - after designing those wonderful Han , Luke , Chewie , Droid figures etc... any others, Specifically Echo base Rebel personnel/tech/maintenance/soldiers/pilots etc ? .
Pretty selfish request I realise , but , I'm hoping to have my completed Falcon ( landed position ) displayed in that diorama setting , and I can't find anything similar figures-wise on the 'net . Cheers Ged.
