WOW! the dropship rocks! Totally conveys the thick armored super tough ship
look. and it looks like it would be fun to fly too. I think it would be cool
for the angled supports on either side of the cockpit to be yellow, like double
stripes that would continue up & over the back including the angled supports on
either side of the small single intake hole and stop (& include) the already
yellow little vent thingies on the top back just before the large double tail
intakes.
anyhoo, wicked cool, like a super-sport-SUV-space-transport. it also looks
like it could be a very versatile ship: less guns, bigger/longer range
engines, and voila, explorer starship! Or medical ship, or personal space
yacht. Very cool!
the bulldog looks like a sleek, better jeep. the split wedge pieces used on
the 'hood' & 'trunk' of the bulldog are pices i've waited a LONG time for from
Lego for precisely this type of use; wider slopes, or vents-within-a-slope,
etc. I'd like ALL Lego Slope pieces to have left & right component pieces for
these uses. I'm especially thinking of:

for more uses like what you've done.
I DO like the 'all-in-one' original pieces, but only where structurally needed.
otherwise, I like the 'split' pieces for more open ended play. The LPT is
cool; maybe replace the gray tiles on the top of the sidewalls with yellow. I
like the total hingeability/accessability, too. maybe a vent pattern tile or
other small greeblie on the roof would be cool; but I like the utilitarian
smoothness too...
WOW! definitely would be a great addition, actually great CORE vehicles for
Lego space.
