There are quite a few things I like about this ship. It’s got SNOT, nice
greeblies, good interior design, the runabout design itself is cool, and also
the way it is stored and deployed, and I like the detailing with the old-time
wing/struts down the center of the ship’s wings. I know executing the door
and landing gear must have been tough, and they add to the playability
established by the runabout. I’m surprised you haven’t gotten more responses
on this board. The website kept crapping out on me when I tried to check out
the pics, so that might be why, although I did eventually manage to get to
your other Lego creations. Cool stuff!
Criticisms? I would have preferred a more interesting shape, something more
dynamic (which is odd coming from me, so far I’ve only posted mech dropships
that look like lego bread boxes). Also, the quarter domes forming the rear
section give it a little bit of a droopy profile. And it could use bigger
guns and some missle banks. But these are minor. Nice work!

ACK! Why didn’t anyone else tell me the website was crapping out? It was fine
from internal tests, but it turns out that when I upgraded my firewall to a new
version, I turned on activeX and SOAP stripping, and it was mangling some of the
commands in the gallery (odd, cuz it’s not hosted on a WinBlows box). Anyway,
that should be fixed now.
You’re right. Needs more guns. Droopy profile was done purposefully for this
ship -- it was meant to be more utilitarian than sexy. But it is only a Mark II
vessel. I’m working on a Mark III design, but I don’t think it’ll get built
before NWBrickCon, as I’d like to show it off there.
