I think all of Wingsley's questions highlight that the TOS shuttle (and indeed most of the TNG and Voyager shuttles) seem wholly inadequate for the tasks the show makes them carry out. If it's a simple ship to shore transfer, then you can get away without most of those things. But for an extended autonomous mission, you really would expect some basic necessities.
The TOS shuttle is perhaps the worst example, as the set has a job fitting into the exterior as it is, so you can forget any space for a potential WC or storage areas. I guess you could say there are invisible hatches on the walls and floor for supplies, but I feel things could been simplified with a little door on the back wall. The DS9 Runabout set did this really well - we never saw the aft compartment in seven years (except for a single TNG episode), but we never needed to. The door at the back of the cockpit set was enough.

), as a few different configurations I've tried haven't felt right yet. So while I marinate more on how the toilet and sink should look, I detoured and started working on a game ready model of the hand phaser. Since we indeed saw a phaser storage compartment in "The Galileo Seven", and I promised myself I'd finish a fully featured and detailed shuttlecraft before I moved on from it, I'd have to model the phaser soon anyway. Plus I think I can finish it before I leave on my trip home this Saturday for Christmas break.
