Thanks for the suggestion!
I think putting an animal within an armor is possible, but the size of the build could be too large for minifig scale.
Agree with you that it will not be easy, Perhaps I may try another go at another time!
It would be much easier to just put one or two "Friends" mini animal in the compartment to make sure there are animals inside <LOL>
Yeah, I also realized the cleanliness of the model. Not sure the brown and blue combination will look like an armor
I would assume it is a brand new MOC with brand new armor on brand new mission for the moment ;)
