1/72 Cloud City Diorama with PG Falcon and FM Slave 1

In between doing my Cloud City base and working on the Slave 1, I found 15 minutes to throw this little guy together:

My work on the bottom hull of the Falcon has begun. I've cut the holes for the front landing gear and set them in place. I also drilled all the holes for the landing lights.

I also attached some resistors to the red leds and tested the other colors being used.

While on shapeways, I ran across this on 308bits product page:

Having found this, I have decided to proceed with building out the interior of my PG Faclon for the Cloud City diorama that I'm working on. I'm going to be using some sort of magnetic latching system to secure the top of the Falcon to the base but allow for easy removal. I will have to make some room inside to accomplish this, but I look forward to the challenge! The Deagostini Falcon will be used as a reference for building out the interior.
 
So did shapeways finally release the two front landing gear bays for the falcon?.... it's been so long I almost forgotten about them... if so can you post a link?
 
Hey - if you'd waited a bit you could've got my grilles and fans. :)

I finished those weeks ago, but haven't got around to getting the test prints made until now...

The link didn't show me anything... :(

I'm still going to need the fans, of course... I did just order a few things from your page... The top of the boarding ramp, the landing gear baffles, and a few other bits... Still not done...lol

I found this out the hard way, but with the way the lights are placed around the front of the lower hull, you'll need to tear into the front mandibles a bit in order to reach the light positions from the inside. This is thanks to Bandai's engineering on this kit and its snap-together nature. Here's a pic to illustrate what I mean.
