Fabulous design! I'm wondering how you will include the figures inside there, but I'm sure you will have a great solution as always ...

Of course I have

The crew will sit on the two poles on the side... as soon as they arrive I will build some seats and bars for the feet and of course the MG mountings... hope they get here quickly...

Another fantastic [in every sense] design

I... I... I could have a real workbench?? No more working on the floor between my 12 siblings beds and clothes? No more sanding with the concrete floor and cutting plasticsheet with my mothers clipped off fingernails? Sounds too good, to be true

Another awesome project, can't wait to see it finished. Are you going to add a boiler/funnel or training wheel?
