Apology Re: DS2:Scratchbuilding a dropship

Of course, my comments had examples appropriate to SGII. The ideas stand,
but I should have used other things for DSII landers. 1/144 is great,
and I STILL think a Hind properly converted would be a mutha.

I seen once in a magazine somewhere, where this guy made his own "landing
craft" from a spent "underarm deoderant" container. He added the bowl part of
a
plastic spoon to the top on the front edge, off-set to one side.  The
"landing ramp" was attached (i think) to the underside of the front. The
entire opening was on the bottom side. I don't remember if the craft had
landing gear, or was made to look like it was hovering. Oh yes, the whole
thing was painted green.

Except for the ramp and opening, you're describing the skimmer from WH40K,
Rogue Trader. Wouldn't be the least surprised it was used otherwise.

I wanted to use a 1/350 Soviet Typhoon sub for a SM company ship in epic
scale. Upside down, the missle hatches would have been for drop pods. Even got
started...
