Actually, a lot more stable than you'd think. The landing gears have a 1x2
hinge at the bottom and the top, so they fold up, and solidity is added with
2 1x2 plates and a 1x2 tile (in effect, a 1x2 brick) at each joint. The 6x6
"feet" really do a lot for the stability. It "wobbles" a tiny bit when you
touch it, but not enough to be unstable or tip over.
I built a Super-Gravity-Disrupterotron from Technic parts but I'm
currently awaiting patent approval, so I couldn't include pics. ;^)

Hmm... in Pic 13, you can see the ladder hanging into the cargo bay, but I
suppose it is rather hard to see. Maybe I'll photo it later. I also realize
that I didn't really show the route to the head, so I'll have to snap a
couple pics, I guess. :^)

Thanks. :) I tried really hard to capture the "ugly-but-cool" aspects of
many freight-carrying vessels.
Personally, I think it kind of looks like I stuck some engines and wings on
a Jawa sandcrawler. :^D
