so, at the end of the day, I have this -- (also, i promised the fam that if i could play in the garage today, i'd stay out of it the rest of the weekend ... so this is probably it for the weekend... )
A shot of the installed flight platform, and how i use the guns as a way to keep the flight decks in upright position:

I had screwed the hinge to the landing pad through the side of the shelf -- rather than try to cut off the protruding screw, i just used some tech detail to cover it up - in this case, it's some manga stuff that bbts had clearanced for cheap once upon a time -- highly recommend that, if bbts does it again -
