Justinh,
Here is some info for making doors on the HS
The wheel well is covered by doors that swing open, actuated by a small type air cylinder. Be sure to make the door sturdy, I covered it with carbon plus made a frame under it. If not they will deform in the breeze and might be wrung off. The area around the hole in the fuse should be beefed up with some plywood framework, otherwise it will deform.

The struts have long slender cover plates, you will need to make some mountings that You can glue thes covers onto.

The mechanism is covered with a small CFK plate which has a small flap that covers the moving part. The small flap is hinged with small robart hinges and fitted with some flat elastic band (the one type that is sometimes used in old fashined underwear!) so that the flap is always pressed against the leg, whether up or down.

For the nose gear the long rectangular geardoor is hinged and also actuated by a small air cylinder, the front small cover is again fitted with an electic band.
Here are some pics to make it more clear, I hope this will clarify a lot. Cannot answer more questions, will be gone for a good week.
