Thanks guys, this has been on the shelf for a while and I recently was able to do a little more work on it. It still needs some detailing on the inside wall, a little work on the gun, some putty fills and a finish paint job.
If I had the confidence to pull it off to that level of perfection I'd tackle the project...
and I'm still amazed at your dropship... I almost bought a lot on e-bay that had two empty lambda shuttle shells, but all wings intact, for a similar project... but then I remembered yours and thought "I'll never be able to pull it off that well, I better not even try!"
lol
I know how you feel because I've felt that way about other people's work but if I didn't attempt it I would never do anything so don't let it discourage you! I love seeing how others come up with ideas I wouldn't have thought of and incorporate them into my plans if I'm inspired. That's probably why I have so many works in progress. I reach a point where I need inspiration to go on. Sometimes it may take a day or a week or even years. So, don't hold back because that just means less I have to look at and potentially steal an idea from.
I love the trooper transport idea and the seating area for that is spot on.
The idea of the seats came from the AT-OT carrier. Not a smart idea in reality because of arial attack but very cool for a model or toy because of the exposure.
I am not gonna muck this thread up, but if you ever decide to get rid of this (I never would by the way) I sure hope I get a pm or an email because I would love to have this. Hows that for what I think about this?
Well, when I finish things I no longer know what to do with them so they usually get sold off to buy more materials for other projects or given away when I'm done looking at them. I'll keep you in mind if or when this happens.
