Suggestion: Once you have it put together, maybe spray it with some kind of adhesive that will keep it together? You won't be able to take it apart again, but it should hold so you can move it.
ALL my kids loved Lego’s. I’ve stepped on so many it’s amazing I never threw them out. They’re gown ups now which means they’ve graduated to the expensive ones. And they’re good. Me? I snap two together they will unsnap as I reach for the third. BTW, my son Alex is currently writing Lego games for Fortnight. The first was for a contest and he won. The second was because he wanted to continue the adventure. He’s now featured on the fortnight front page. Again, if I tried I’d make one, even on a computer, it fall apart. Also, those handles look very much like something you’d put on a dungeon door….don’t ask me how I know that. ;)
Congrats to your son! I didn't know Lego and Fortnight were collaborating. Sounds like a very big deal. And props to you for never throwing out those Legos you stepped on. Those things are worthy their weight in gold.
Turns out Lego is stepping into the fortnight game. He may, in time, be able to actually work for them. We’ll see. He’s happy and I’m happy he is. Ya know.
Always at your service! Although this is mainly other commenters' merit, as I have limited lifehack & tools pool because I don't conduct many repairs and sometimes the Geo blockade prevents that. But if by a story or a thought I can help you make your life easier, I will.
Secondly, huge respect and congrats on the Star Destroyer progress! Your description once again proves that teamwork makes dreamwork. And despite the current struggles, I think you should continue to cooperate with huge builds - reading about them is nice and helping me picture the challenges had I tried these. On my side I currently don't have space, money or patience for large sets, but complicated Technic ones I sometimes do. Likewise, it's out of spite or not wanting to appear less skilled than as a boy. My tactic is to reserve an afternoon and concentrate on the set in front, assembling it fast yet thoroughly. But if I decide to disassemble one, it's once and for all - the parts land in a common spares container, which I then use to build abstract creations of my imagination.
I encourage you to try large builds. Just stay away from ones balanced precariously on pillars. As long as it sits firmly on the table, you'll be fine. Feel free to get rid of furniture or family members to make room.
Modge Podge is your answer for the Destroyer . Believe me as a prop maker its a life saver and spreads on like a thick glue but drys clear..I think..anyway check it out .
I’m currently building the Lego Goonies pirate ship and I feel your pain. It is fiddly and I swear it doesn’t line up properly an it’s not my building it incorrectly! We’re here for the Lego
I am deeply invested in the LEGO quest.

I fear that even the powers of Super Glue might not keep it together. This ship is on a quest of its own to destroy itself.
The Force is not with it.
I am very much invested in the outcome of your LEGO project.
Perhaps you should have considered a white painted 2×4 to drop across the doors on huge iron hooks?
I like where you're going with this.
😂😂😂
Love the handles and Lego Destroyer, really cool!

I’m not going to lie. I think Gilly will figure out that pin in less than 3 months. If and when she does, get this: https://a.co/d/07OxBZpq
She tested it for the first time tonight. It held. We'll see how long that lasts.
Nah, she's lulling you into a false sense of security. Lol
Would Bob consider moving to the Bay Area? We have great weather and an extreme need of competent help around my home.
I refuse to let him leave Indiana. My life (and house) would fall apart without him.
WOWWOW!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏
That’s one incredible ship! You’ll get there. Don’t give up now.

Second vote for an adhesive. Krazy Glue in bulk should be cost effective.
Love the pantry handles!

Awesome dude. I could never in a zillion years do it.
I'm waiting for a picture of the finished Lego set. This is epic! I clapped.....did you hear me? 😁
