Day 114, Quasi-Quarantine: Bringing An Imperial Dropship From Idea Into Existence



A few weeks back, we realized that our inventory of "bad guy" ships was running distressingly low. We set about to create an Imperial dropship, basing the design on the open-sided clone troop transport modified with a cargo bay.

The foundation of the ship was built in Empire gray, but we edged the design with a lot of red trim to balance the look. To replicate a true Imperial feel, we outfitted the vehicle with weaponry on just about every level of the build.



The roof of the transport includes a second cockpit that serves as both a gunner's turret and auxiliary navigation. The interior holds 10 or so stormtoopers, and the cargo bay has been a popular spot to house a knockoff Captain Phasma.

I'm sad to report that most the build has already been cannibalized into other creations, so this post will have to serve as proof that it once existed. I want to believe it's demolition was incorporated into a Rebel mission, but considering my building partner, that feels like perhaps wishful and (overly elegant) thinking.
