Chimera Doors and Hatches

I can't leave well enough alone and being a long time modeler I tend to tamper with pretty much everything plastic I can. If its a hatch I want to be able to open it.

First off I don't care for the laser guns sticking out from the sides so I have to
shut them down with a simple strip of plastic.





Next I start working the hatches and doors. I use a pin drill and brass
rod I picked up at a local hobby shop.





Sometimes it works, sometimes you run into a snag.

In this case you can hope you have a spare door or you can use
some very small plastic card to attempt to fix it. Sometimes
you just chalk it up to a mess up and let it ride.
