8097 Slave I mod

So a few weeks ago I found one of these Slave I at wallyworld and promptly purchased it. After I assembled it I found to my disappointment I found it was almost impossible to recreate the Cloud City Departure scene from ROTJ. Then I made a few changes...
 The biggest change so far is the ramp. It now allows minifigs to stand on it. Also the ship can stand upright.
I took out the flick-fire auto launcher, since it didn't really work and it took up to much interior space.

I redid the hatch so now it opens in a more realistic manner. Unfortunately I haven't found a really good picture of the way its supposed to look.
I thought his silhouette is just awesome!
Here you can see the clip I installed to hold onto cargo
I left the rotation mechanism intact, but changed Boba's seat so now he goes forward in landing mode. This could be fixed by gearing differently.
I do like his flying position better now.
