And the historical overview is extremely interesting! But at the expense sounding pretentious, is it possible to include renders which depict the crew ? These builds are great and I'm certainly not implying there is anything wrong with them, but minifigs tend to add another dimension to builds.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boeing_787_8_dreamliner Posted August 3, 2022 I would agree, but with figures it's a lot of work because you have to add around 50 figures so that it fits, but I'm happy to do that with the next releases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
