    Brand new paint job and all the hull damage has been repaired. It was quite extensive with
    some panels being fully replaced.

    Since the breakin at Jay's and subsequent drop five feet to his concrete floor (Thanks
    vandals!) the flight deck no longer sits properly. I will have to find a way to fix this.

    MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT BUILDING EXTRANOUS PARTS. I THINK THEY TURNED OUT WELL!
    ALSO ADDED HATCH TABS TO KEEP THINGS IN PLACE. IT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT
    REALLY SHOWED THE SHIP WAS TAKING SHAPE.
