There is a line you don't cross with Lego as an adult and I think I've crossed it

Here it is! Back when I was young and innocent. Guns lower from flaps behind Leia's head, and side panels open to reveal cargo and beds. Landing gear fold up. We were proud of it--pretty good for a sick day.Here's another achievement of the expedition, constructed when my junior copilot was under the weather with space sickness. I constructed the frame, and he did the details. I couldn't find any image for "Lego Type 6 Transporter" on Google, so I humbly post this for posterity. Constructed from the Lego Millennium Falcon (a great set for rebuilding something else), which explains why Leia and Chewy are making an appearance. And some bad photo editing to make my copilot smile.
Nice!
An excellent bit of pilot and co-pilot work.
Star wars is great for building non star wars stuff, it feels a bit wrong but it's all bricks so fair game.
It's a little documented fact, but the medals Princess Leia gave the rebel heroes also allowed free entry to the local theme park on Yavin...
... C3PO is not so keen but Luke is lovin' it.
Micro update:
Front upper hull glacis design sorted- rather than try to have angled bricks I'm having hinged parts locked sideways into place. This allows it to be flush with flat tiles on one side, decorated on the upper stud surfaces and is clean.

Maybe it deploys hardpoints and lowers the landing gearLooking great
I spot a motor! Are you motorising or is it a greeble?
Certainly looking good there @Rubbernuke
No, its a greeble as its a very industrial shape. There is another wind up motor on the other side acting as greebling as wellLooking great

Saying that, when I began I made fully retracting landing legs that were the exact match for the 'real' thing- they could have been motorised quite easily with a single strong motor. The problem I got was the model was too heavy for the mechanism, and trying to get a satisfactory 'locked' position was hard as the original legs were at diagonal positions.
Its all those....burgers I eatWhen you're done, don't forget the blue light to embark
Joke aside, you are a mad man. Respect.
Some more fun- this time the cockpit console:
I adapted a Millenium Falcon chair and incorporated it into my design, along with making some interesting designs for the console itself. Eventually the central dias will have something orange on it
Started to put some detail into the cockpit frame- a 1 x 6 flat time felt.....a bit boxy
Its close to how I want it, although I'll need a few bits perhaps to pad / cover holes etc. You can also see (bar some angled plates I need to get) the front glacis plate is done.

Updates! I was dissatisfied with several aspects on the model so did a refactor on a few things:
Interior systems / machinery are seeing more love:
I also decided to 'fix' certain hull plates rather than make everything modular- makes life easier (and reworked the undersides):
Did more work on the 'rails' that support the front glacis panel- you can see the ladder underneath and some extra details:
And finally, reworked the outer hull panels so they are c-r-i-s-p and line up. Unlike before where there was a 'wedge' gap' now they are as close as I can get them.
This is what they looked like before and was unacceptably irritating.

looking good!
Small seismic charges - Check

now all you need to do is nail that Armstrong moment with some lego stop start animation perhaps

Like this?
Lol nice
Its a mix of old and new angled bits- like the old gimmer I am I hated the new angled plates but I've slowly grown to see the utility of them.The lining up of those panels is a thing of beauty
its already an improvement on in the game version, so yep, Powerplay cookies dispensed
