Doors/covers are a good idea. Would the be sliding up/down/sideways?

Have you considered putting doors on the landing bays now you've decided to steer into new territory?
Anything is possible i guess. The front of the bays are already closed off but i am thinking of putting guns in the front nose of the bays. Plus i'd like to also incorporate a hanger like Mark Elkins did. It's possible there could be doors of some kind in the rear as well since you would think that they would close them for light speed. Do not know. As you can see by the upper gun i've taken some artistic license to that as well. Some of the kit parts on the actual gun made no logical sense for being there at all! I still have to make a swiveling arm of some type for it.

I have not figured how the doors will close on the gun bays yet. But i was thinking of adding Numbers to those doors when i make them.
