Here are the parts for the rail Plug.
( *NOTE* This plug is used to make certain that the Viper sits on the rail properly, if you are not going to have the Viper on the launch catapult.)

The plug is assembled.

Here are the parts for the greebling panel/tiles. There are enough parts to make 10 panels/tiles per page. So make certain that you print this page twice, so that you have enough panels/tiles for both sides (10 per side).

Here is the Maintenance Platform Ladder. This is a very simple project.

Here are the parts.
20210708_154915.jpg

Starting with the base and the struts.
20210708_204109.jpg

I added the steps.
20210708_215428.jpg

I attached the platform.
20210708_215733.jpg

20210708_215744.jpg

Attached the main support beam.
20210708_220530.jpg

20210708_220541.jpg

I attached the hand-rail and pull-handle.
(*NOTE* Both are optional.)
20210709_003642.jpg

20210709_003657.jpg

Attached the wheels.
20210709_013644.jpg

20210709_013703.jpg

Here is the Maintenance Platform Ladder in place for the pilots to get in (or out) of the Viper (or for crew to perform maintenance).
20210709_013759.jpg

The Maintenance Platform Ladder can be used if the Viper is sitting on its landing gear as well.

This a trolley cart (in 1:48 scale) for moving various containers around the hangar as needed.

Here is the template for the trolley. As you can see there are eight (8) trollies on a single page. So you can either build all eight or you can do what I did and have a little bit of (psychotic) fun and greeble one (or more) out.
20210710_092505.jpg

Here are all of the parts for a single trolley cart
20210710_093238.jpg

I cut the parts out and folded the middle piece of the "platform" of the trolley. I laminated the handle and raised the thicker parts (that are exposed) of the handle assembly and the hand-holds as well. I also laminated the wheels and the mounts for the wheels.
20210710_170838.jpg

I started forming the platform. Make certain that you have the direction of the wheel mounts on the bottom plate are in the same direction as the middle plate that holds the handle assembly.
20210710_171341.jpg

20210710_171354.jpg

I attached the handle assembly to the middle and bottom plate.
20210710_171516.jpg

The top plate is attached.
20210710_171821.jpg

The wheels are attached.
20210710_172217.jpg

The handle assembly is bent upward. The trolley is now finished.

Here is another accessory to add to the hangar diorama. Here is a rack for large barrels like Tylium barrels).

Here is the template sheet (there are ten(10) per sheet).
20210710_215329.jpg

There are two (2) parts to the rack (an inside and outside).
20210710_220025.jpg

I chose to cut the black areas out (This is optional)
20210711_093800.jpg

On the inside of the parts, I marked them with an "O" (outside) and an "I" (inside) so that assembly will be easier.
20210711_093835.jpg

Starting the assembly.
20210711_095717.jpg

The rack is finished.
20210711_100533.jpg

The rack fits nicely in the diorama (I will add barrels later).
