This summer I built a team of power-armor mercenaries, and I wanted to build
them a ship to get to the battlefield with, and here it (finally) is:
Click any pick for the Brickshelf gallery, or click
here for the Mocpage.
I looked at Soren’s “Lying Bastard” a lot while building, and tried to expand
on his Pirate color scheme, also using some of his gun muzzles and greebs.
Mladen’s work influenced the square-barrel gun and missile boxes. The
cockpit bears a resemblance to Trevor Pruden’s Orca dropship, and the
“thruster shot” is reminiscent of Keith Goldman’s “Ghoul”. (There’s a joke
in there somewhere, I just know it.) I also used one of Paul Hartzog’s chair
designs. I probably missed a credit here, so let me know if I used your idea
and didn’t mention you.
I never thought I’d use twelve of those AT-AT click hinges in one MOC, but
here you go.

This thing is pretty nice. It bothers me that it doesn’t have any thruster pods
or engines at the front, but your techsplanation for that is acceptable. It
strikes me as a sort of space-only vessel, and looks pretty good for that.
Missiles are always fun, and I think the cockpit is a nice arrangement.
Honestly, the powered armor inside are almost a let-down, I expected something
bigger in those compartments, something that would barely fit into the space.
Good stuff.

| (...) The cargo bay turned out to be a little more spacious than those power suits required. I'm kicking around the idea of building a trio of bigger mechs that fill the space. I'm glad you liked it, Dan. I hope that cap ship you previewed is coming (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
