Thanks for posting up these directions KingsKnight! I was sad to hear the "ideas" set was turned down a few years ago, and I was just revisiting my old photo-based LDD buildup of the model a last week, and realized that I had never finished implementing some of the modifications that I had done for the Shuttle Expedition set a number of years back. I haven't done an actual build yet to verify everything works as expected, but I just finished a virtual build up with the following changes: lowered main floor in mid deck cleaned up cargo bay cosmetically and added mounting points for canadarm(s) added internal airlock airlock outer hatch is connected with removable pin so that additional habitat modules can be connected to airlock stay rigid in cargo bay area APAS module redesigned for a tighter fit and to allow clearance for canadarm(s) canadarms now built out of bars which I feel is cosmetically better, although cannot support any real weight under gravity (just like the real thing!) main wings completely refactored to allow for the RCC leading edge to be placed mid-wing and look more prototypical I'm not even going to try tackling the SRB and tank plans- they look great as they are, but way out of my budget to build in the right colors! I'd love to hear if anyone has any further suggestions! Should I document my changes and create an updated bricklink studio file? There's mention in this thread of a facebook group, but I the group seems to no longer exist?
