This MOC is truly awesome and I'm really looking forward to when the instructions will be available. I just want to share an idea I have, but i understand if it is too hard to implement. What if the long red strip in the front actually was able to slid open just like in the movies, that would be totally awesome. Im thinking that they sit on some technic hinges that almost swing open like a bus door, but that's just my idea and I'm sure there's other better mechanics that would work in this situation.
Good luck with the MOC ;)
