Anyway, this is what parks inside of the Tribunal’s shuttle bay. It is the Paul Dirac dropship. Comes complete with 2 ground scouts, 2 aerial probes, and a 2 man rover.

This is a tonne o’ fun, Adrian. It’s very close to the kind of thing I would love to see The Company get back to. Simple, but sleek constructions, relatively easy on parts for it’s size and the playable little rover (which rocks - the balloon wheels are sorely missed).

This did turn out to be quite the playable little set. And it’s swooshable! It is quite sturdily put together. In fact, when docking into the Tribunal’s shuttle bay, I can hold just the very end of the shuttle (the inverse Slave 1 canopy and its roof) to maneuver the rest of the ship into the bay.

  
I think the only thing that would make it slightly more set-palattable is a more accessible cockpit, but that would take away from the great line that the inverted one makes...and the downward-looking = dropship idea.

Well, the cockpit actually is quite easy to get into and play around in, I just documented it poorly. And I love the way this inverted cockpit came together.

  
Nice addition to the ‘Monster’.


In reality, the Monster was an addition to this, since I built the Paul Dirac first. Well, actually I built the rovers first, but you get the idea.
