Thanks, Trevor. :)
The Condor is .fairly. swooshable. It's best to 'swoosh' with the troop
module or a Scorpion in the 'bay' as it makes things more sturdy. I've
considered trying to make a 'handle' that locked in just as the others do to
make it 'full time swooshable' but I haven't got enough inverse slopes to do so.

True - they are kinda hung out there. Part of the inspiration for the
Condor came from the Sikorsky Sky Crane - those huge grasshopper shaped
helicopters that can 'straddle' a multi-role cargo module. They can carry
something like 20 or 40 tons of cargo, if I remember the Discovery Wings
show I saw on them correctly.
The way the tracks show through underneath grew on me, too. It makes them
almost seem like they're part of the landing gear rather than a carried
vehicle. To me at least. :)

Thanks again, Trevor.
More? Man.. I've actually just about used up all of the pics of the various
MOC's I've got built presently. About all that I have left that hasn't been
shown are pics of my Terran Defense Force 'figs. I'm kind of torn on whether
or not it's worth posting them...
Guess that means I need to start building again.. ;)
