Improvements in designing and building to increase playability and realism at once

Important changes in design and Lego pieces used in the model were implemented to increase playability (a tougher model that can be manipulated and play with) and realism at once. Now all spacecraft components have been created in Lego following as much as it possible real Crew Dragon capsule and trunk pictures, videos and engineering drawings but built it from the perspective of a Lego minifigure rocket engineer and astronaut that are going to really fly the spacecraft. In other words, as it this Lego Crew Dragon was designed and built in a Lego world.

SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft model major improvement

Using more specialized Lego pieces some improvements have been made to Dragon spacecraft internal structure (pieces color homologation), external structure (compact tiling), berthing port (more detailed), front hatch (now includes a real window), lateral panels (include transparent windows), Super Draco thrusters (more detailed), Draco side thrusters (now they are made of real pieces not just decals), nose cone structure (redesigning and compact tiling), heat shield (now includes black tiles like the real "heat tiles") and a more detailed trunk (compact tiling matching the real one structure form and color including solar panels).
