My first priority is cleaning it, then getting some foam bricks under it for support. The door is rough looking and it looks like someone tried to do a half assed glue repair, Im going to take a wack at it with some plastic weld before I give up and try to replace it entirely. The crank is just rattling around inside and I need to get in there to see if it can be repaired. There was a ziploc baggie with 2 broken gantry tabs, a piece of the door, and a curved metal piece I'm assuming they are parts from the crank assembly.
The only other issue is the broken airlock door and gantry turret, but I feel pretty good about ferreting those out eventually. I cant keep from looking at this thing. The details are ridiculous. It's going to be a long wait for Summer to come and I can start to get this beauty back to it's rightful colors and not all yellowed. I may not be able to wait to get my Star Brigade troops deployed on her though.
