As a hopper afficionado I was particularly impressed by these hoppers, they
are fantastic!
In fact I thought they were so fantastic, that I felt compelled to build
one:

I had to make very few piece/colour substitutions. The 1 wide 75deg slopes
and inverted corner slopes came from a Red Letter Day haul. (I don't think
they have ever appeared in a set, have they?). I think I might put black
wheelsets on it, though.
I can't believe you built it virtually without prototyping it first! The
discharge mechanism does work, quite well with 1x1 round plates, although a
couple get caught around the light sabre hinge assembly.
I'll probably photograph it properly tomorrow in the daylight. If anyone
wants views of specific parts/angles, LMK.
Once again, your talent never ceases to amaze, here's hoping that LD
commission some of your wagon designs in the future!
