MOC - Shuntporter with Medi/stage drop pod

[Modelmaker]

The shuntporters are the workhorses of the Vertillerexian fleet

They are masive unmanned truck like vehicles tasked with collecting drop pods and delivering them to various locations in a war zone

Drop pods have many uses. Today, this shunter has the important task of delivering a medi/stage pod to assist in the evacuation of wounded ground troups.

Here is the shuntporter in transit

Normally when a shunter reaches it location it will begin to deploy its cargo straight away, but with medi pods it must allow the mobile medivac clinic to deploy first. This way there is less delay reaching the wounded troups.

Once the mobile clinic has begun operations the shunter can deploy the pod

Now the pod becomes a fully operational field hospital

Just another day in the life of a shuntporter

Very nice! The deployment action is well executed. I also like the styling on the mobile clinic - it reminds me of the APC from Aliens.

The deployment is unexpected and amazing!

I like also the inner wheels of the truck ...they are very futuristic!
