Lego Asp Scout (UCS minifig 1:96ish scale) update

It all fits, its (as in the photos) everything is a detachable plate panel so you can see inside. The only 'risky' part is where the little wings attach, because they are quite heavy- but this also acts as a stopper for the dorsal wing 'plates' so they can sit and not slide off.
I'd like to see a 1:1 Coriolis in Lego.Amazing, when you starting the Annie?

curls up
makes gurgling noises
Im sure he could start off small and work up, i dont know, say a fleet carrier?

gurgling intensifies
A 1:1 (ish) FC would be the length of my garden- about 50m.

OK, let’s do it.
Did you see the pictures of the crowds at Glastonbury’s Elton John show, I would say that would be just the right sized crowd to construct this Lego Coriolis, perhaps in multi-coloured bricks, it was something like 210k people per Sq mile.
Let’s send applications to the land owner ahead of next year’s festival, and start collecting buckets of bricks….
Not really (although it sounds fun)- I'd only really do that if I did another rebuild and refined the structure to its 'final, final, Final™ form' for maximum Lego efficiency. Saying that, the structure is not that complex- it just relies on razor thin tolerances between about 8 (16 when mirrored) angled edges. If I increase one it throws the others out, and since I wanted this as crisp as possible it takes a lot of fiddling. Aside from that, the model is pretty much bang on- its a little wide compared to the 'real' ship and the pentagons that make the upper surfaces are a bit squished...if I eve made it again I'd start with them.
Not to mention there are still areas I'm not 100% happy with but called it- I could easily double the internal brick count for the areas that can't be seen.
It has mugs, cans of pop, Kumo Burger™ and bread in a vending machine (thanks to @xzanfr)- thats all the engineering it needsAmazing jobNow you need to engineer it.

Incredible. Fantastic. Outstanding. Humiliates ANY official Lego set so badly that their designers are sitting in a corner, whimpering.
I wonder how much Lego would charge for it. Looks up prices for kidneys

I love the fact that there is an actual "walk down ramp" deployed.
It (the ship) has a fully detailed lower deck as well- I might take a few more photos to show this off. It also has a fully working SRV bay (and hatch) and a cargo hatch door.
But, one of the objectives was to make every area and deck accessible as possible via ladder- so, the front lower cockpit has a ladder up into the main cockpit, from the rear ramp there is a swing down ladder that emerges in the centre of the 'main' deck (left pic is the ladder under the yellow castle pieces on the right- the gray half circle hatch folds down for clearance)
You also have a swing down ladder (so you have an unobstructed access through) to the (what I call) engineering deck (out of focus
)And from that deck / platform you have a ladder to the side that comes down to the storage area (some bits are removed here for clarity- the model has a lot of modular parts for ease of access).
So from the cockpits you can walk all the way through the ship, board the ramp and have a coffee or lower the folded SRV
