First, there probably isn't any way around the saucer piece and for the
corridor, you need a lot of those angled pieces from the castle sets. I don't
know how to describe them, they're 3 studs wide and they're stepped so they
angle at 45 degrees. There are ones with five studs as well. I spent the
better part of a week modifying the cockpit and creating a corridor and the
best I could do was create one that the minifigs just barely fit through. The
trick is to make it strong enough to support the rather heavy cockpit. It
takes a while but it's worth it, I thought the cockpit was all wrong on the
stock version. Hope this helps.
