MOD - Imperial Landing Craft

[L-space]

Hello all.

This is what I call my first "official" MOD; at least the first for which I did some research.

Many comments by dunamis (found here) come straight from my heart and I have tried to adress some of them as well. I disagree on the cockpit degree/ slope however, only in one picture I found it level at the bottom, all others displayed it inclined.

But here is the result of my work:

To start of with a photo to set the scene.

I added an extra roof section to accomedate the freight section. Unfortunately I cannot get it big enough just now the carry a speederbike.

It carries 6 troopers comfortably (for military standards that is, and I now what I'm talking about) and some freight in the rear.

It also show the two landing ramps for direct assault landings.

Here you can see the landing ramp in action and my solution for the ramp door.

And finally the cockpit and four lasercannons on the fuselage.

Even for Imperial pilots the law is at the ready:

"No parking here mister!"

"But I'm with the Imperial Navy.."

"Yeah, and my aunt's the emperor. Now pay up!"

Nice moc! I like what you did at the end.

Is there a gap in between the boarding ramps and the shell? If there isn't, i'd like to see how you pulled it off.

It's a MOD

Nice work L-Space. At first I found this shuttle bulky and somewhat poorly designed, but with the MOD's that we've seen from both you and Dunamis, I am liable to change my mind on this set.

Perhaps I should dig it out of my collection storage and try some MODing on my own?

@ KimT: that is exactly the reason for me to try and change the original design. So grap your extra landing craft and start builiding

@ Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?!:

I have made some additional photo's:

The ramp door in close-up, you can switch the slope and the curved piece but I like it better this way.

Normally there is a gap if using this design.

However by using this piece you can close it. I have used a contrasting colour for clarity.

I hope that this answers your question.
