Legion 'Zero' Landing Craft

For the 565th build. It's inspired by the ones used in WWII. 1 pilot, 4 troopers, 1 commander (or 5th trooper) and a medic are the crew.

The hatch opens forward, as you can see here. And when it's at the frontlines, this opens to protect the pilot.

Enjoy! Comments are welcome.

That looks like one of those ships that the marines (today marines or other armed forces) use to take over an island.

But other wise it looks great.

Looks great! It's awesome, but a little greebling wouldn't hurt.

Thats realy cool! You should make it bigger with more space for troops and weapons.
But still cool!

Well, the guy at the back's going to get shot through the skull right away, but apart from that, it's a great little Star Wars counterpart to WWII landing crafts.

Nice one! Mind if I steal the idea?

You took the words right out of my mouth you crazy Brit.

Yeah... While we're on the subject, what are "'umptes"?

Anyway, DP, I forgot to mention in my first post that I'm quite fond of the positioning that little control panel, right next to the pilot, even if using it does put him in considerable peril. The steering wheel looks a bit out of place in a Star Wars vehicle, though.

Thanks everyone!

Do you even READ posts? It clearly states why it doesn't. READ READ READ!

Relax, I read it! I was thinking about what would happen if the Seps didn't attack in a straight line, directly in front of the craft. Mind you, knowing their tactics...

That is pretty sweet; it's smooth, and it reminds me of a marine LCT. Awesome job on that DP!

No it's not. This was inspired by the marine ships.

Yea, I know. But that's where the side guns are for. Even before the droids can aim the would already been destroyed.

Good job, I love the guns!

Wheyhay, this is neat! great smooth lines, a great combination of form and function. Good guns too!

By the way, assuming that you are or were Obi-Wan Stefan on FBTB, Hello! I'm CommanderJake!

Very nice. Like the custom snow trooper

Wow! That is great! It definitely looks like the Landing Crafts used for storming beaches in WWII. I love it! Nice simple coloration, and the guns are fantastic. great job!

Jakeeeeeeeee! Hi! I was, I actually asked Austin to change my name, but I left shortly after that, because of log-in problems. I still do check some times though.

Crumpets! (two,three,four,five)

That is one kicking moc. Very good.

VERY good DP, another AMAZING vehicle by you, I love this Starwars version of the great old LSI!

It kind of looks like a landing craft from the World Wars.

I just love those guns there! A little impractical, probally good for invasions en-masse, but very well done!

Good job dp. It looks great. Also, commander crusher it was only used in world war 2 not 1.
