Rex Smoke - Thanks! Work will be slow, as I have several different things going on at once, but the end result will be pretty cool. As I have said earlier, there are parts that I haven't even begun to work on yet.
DocOutlands - Thanks! I am so glad you like it. Well, I will tell you this: all I really did was Imperialise the Force Unleashed troopship. I put the engines up on top as that would be logical and practical to allow for a completely open troop compartment, I made them semi-air breathers ala x-wing type engines. So my idea was a joint venture between Sienar Fleet Systems and the folks at Incom. SFS went with their proven shuttle line as a basis with the sleek wedge cockpit and folding wings arrangement. The one thing that Sienar wanted and got was ball turrets opted for ground use. This feature was an improvement over the fixed emplacements on the Lambda Class and even harkened back to the days of the republic gunships. Now that's just in-universe speak.
Didn't really use any existing parts/pieces but I think if a man wanted to build a practical version of this thing you could break a lambda class down into subassemblies of cockpit, wings, and engine section. The cockpit could be narrowed width-ways for example. Same goes for the drive-section. If done "right" you could even maintain the folding mechanic of the wings that would of course have to be modified as well. If you squint you can make out the main hold section of a lambda class in the main fuselage(albeit without the guns/engine fairing in the traditional loacation) The area would possibly have to be scrathbuilt.
I therefor challenge folks to build this!:)
Typed that all out rather fast so bare with any incoherentness and spelling nonsense.
