[FT] Starship Troopers "Roger Younge"

Does anyone know of a manufacturer of a Roger Younge that would be in scale
with FT?

Of course, I'm assuming you mean in line with the GZG ships for FT. Sloth
is the only thing that has stopped, so far, from running the AMT/Ertl
Star
Trek lawn battle I described YEARS ago. ;->=

Unfortunately, the closest I've seen in shape would be GZG's own ESU Nanuchka
class Corvette, and that'd be with some addtions to the upper structure.

The exact size of the Rodger Young(sp?) is debatable, but with landers,
troops, AND ground attack craft aboard, pretty damn big is probably the case.
I've found a spoon handle that has nice curved sides, with a blunt
nose, that looks like a good scratch-build blank candidate, but the
people also waiting to see a finished Cylon Raider from me from spoon tips
know better than to hold their breathes...

Even more so since you need to figure out which one your talking about
:o)

The book version was more a marine raider carrier. I recall two retrieval
boats mentioned, and not much more than a reinforced company aboard.

Now the movie/CGI series Rodger Young, (correct spelling at least as far
as the book was concerned:o) seemed to be the size of a battlewagon. At LEAST
battleship size if not a dreadanought. I'm not sure if the book ever went into
any details, but I seem to recall a cylndrical hull, flattened and
flared at the aft end for the drives. The movie/CGI series looked more
like one of the UN battlecraft from FT. Hope that helps.

Yes. IIRC in the book is was classed as a "Corvette Transport". These little
ones were named after footsloggers, the big ships after battles and campaigns
(Ypres etc.). The film just took the name and little else....
