Nifty. Very insect-like. I like the engines. It's really not necessary,
but some part of me wants to see more wings on it. I suppose just because
we get so used to looking at airplanes.
I think it's good that your engines are well away from crew hatches. You
wouldn't want your troops being blown across the battlefield. :^)

Thanks Mark. I actually agree with you about the wings issue; they just look
cooler. ;-D

Very cool. I like the engines and tail bits. Great use of all the clear
canopies and parts too; I've been trying to find a good use for those 3x6 33
deg. ones for awhile.
Nifty interior and front hatch door too.

Darn, i thought it was armed with a quad rail-gun system, or something
similiar. It appears that they are actually just intakes for the engines.
How boring. :o)
Anyways, great color scheme and concept. I especially like how the engines
move, and the multiple exits for the troops. Well done!

Thanks Chris. Those sloped clear windows are really cool IMO, they have tons of
untapped uses.

Heh, thanks Rob! I think the more hatches/entrances/exits you add on a military
vehicle, the more realistic you make it. Look at the M3 Bradley, that thing's
got hatches! ;-)

Creative and inspired as always Mladen...very cool. I like how she still
retains a small and slender profile despite being a troop ship. I expect
this is due to the innovative engines on the boom arms...looks amazing
IMO...just oozes 'anime'.
Simplistic? Clean form, nice lines, great interior, refreshing colour
scheme...simplistic no, efficient with great aesthetic, yes!
Cheers,

Thanks Gil.
Yeah, I always thought these types of fast insertion/extraction vehicles should
be small to limit their chances of getting hit by enemy fire. As well, they
shouldn't take up much space on capital ships. So I guess I wanted to go "lean".

Well, compared to some of the stuff you, Jon, Mark (S. and N.), Dan, Chris (M.
and G.), and so on, build, yes it is a bit simplistic (IMO)! ;-D

I like it! It with those verticle engines it looks just like it could zoom
out of space and rocket back up.
I like all the detail you've put in- simplistic, yes, but still wonderful!
Its very clean- I like the use of snot to have no stud booms.
Also like the little skylight on top, too! :-)

Thanks John! I'm a sucker for simple smooth shapes.

Heh, yeah, but I keep wondering how the grunts would feel about it though... I

Dude this is awesome!
I love the hind-like design up front, very cool, that nose cannon is sweet
too! ooo yummy missiles!
The troop compartment is sweet, the detail is incredible. I love the
cross-section pic you took, very cool.
The tail is so nice! I love the studlessness of it. ;-) The airlocks are
very cool as well.
The engines are AWESOME!! I love them, that's all there is to it. ;-)
Great job!!!
I look forward to more. ;-)

Really cool Mladen. You've distributed the colors nicely on this. I really
like the tail as well.
You sure fit a lot of figs in that thing :-) Can't wait till I'm done with
the alphabet project (not that I'm not having fun ;-) so I can make some
more anime looking stuff...
By the way I've still got a microfig spacefighter on the back burner:

Yeah, I can't wait to see some non-fighter MOCs from you! :-D

I honestly thought you had forgotten! :-)
I really wanna see your micro-starfighter soon. Remember the NATO idea? Are you
gonna stick with the cold war theme, or branch out? It'd be so cool if we
turned this into some kind of International Starfighter project, a la your
Alphabet project... hmmm... We could even put them all in a .MPD file or
something, and render them all together... What do ya think?
BTW, FYI, I still have the "White Hawk" intact. ;-D

Nice MOC, Mladen. No sense repeating what everyone else has said :)
BTW, do still plan to try your hand at large minifig scale fighters?
You had mentioned it in a post a while back, and I'm curious to see what
you come up with.

Good memory... Yes, I do have plans to build some really large fighters, almost
bordering on "weapons platforms". <hint, hint> ;-)
My newest project isn't that however, but I'll get to it eventually.
