Well, I've been working on this for the past two days. I learned a lot of new techniques and overcame a lot of obstacles, but I'm still not satisfied with it. One thing that helped was nuilding this in three sections. The front cockpit, the troop area, and the engine/mass-driver area. They're connected with pins and a couple plates on top and bottom. This will make it easier for fixing it up if I get some critique. I'm not sure I got the proportions correct, mainly on the back compartment.
If you have any suggestions, even if it's just a color change of a piece or two, let me know! I'd really like to do a V2, but at the moment I'm not sure what to change or how to change it.
I know I'd have liked to have done this in gray and dark red (Traditional Republic colors) but I didn't have the pieces for it. If you need any more pictures, don't hesitate to ask.

Pretty sweet. I would have given just a little text through the smooth parts on the side near the front end.
Re: Republic Troop Transport - Rothana Heavy Engineering
It's a bit blocky in some parts, but other than that it's great.

Surprisingly well execution! I would like to know if there is an interior.

Re: Republic Troop Transport - Rothana Heavy Engineering
I think it looks pretty good, although the back doesn't look as good as the front or middle. Other than that, it looks great!

You mean Photoshopped it in there or brick-built text?Rook wrote:Pretty sweet. I would have given just a little text through the smooth parts on the side near the front end.
Thanks. I'm working on a new version that's built around a frame that'll allow for way more sloping. Hopefully I can get it done by this weekend.501st Commando wrote:It's a bit blocky in some parts, but other than that it's great.
There is indeed! Here's the set. It's not very furnished, but hopefully V2 will be.Hazard with a Glove wrote:Surprisingly well execution! I would like to know if there is an interior.
Yeah, I'm not proud of the back...Troopa Daisy wrote:I think it looks pretty good, although the back doesn't look as good as the front or middle. Other than that, it looks great!
Thanks guys! Expect a second one!

Re: Republic Troop Transport - Rothana Heavy Engineering
I attempted one of these once. It failed.
Yours is pretty epic though! It would have been nice to get some rep red in there, but I understand because there isn't really a creative selection in that color...

Re: Republic Troop Transport - Rothana Heavy Engineering
It looks really well built for sturdyness. Although like the others said it is a little blocky and has an odd shape. But I really like the sides at the back!

Wow she's petty slick! I really like the look, just says "swoosh me".

Somewhat block-ish but overall, good

I wouldn't say I succeeded, either.Jedi Joe wrote:I attempted one of these once. It failed.

If I crammed as many as I could in there; about 17. Comfortably, though, it fits about 10-12.ghosttrooper wrote:sweet! how many troops can it hold?
Thanks guys!

Woah, it looks pretty cool.
The back part of it is well done, and the coloration is pretty even.

You did a perfect job on this I think!!! This is a great rendition of one of the least publicized transport vehicles, used particurally on geonosis. Good work!

Re: Republic Troop Transport - Rothana Heavy Engineering
I say the bright red coloring is fine... I seem to recall from the original 2D cartoon series that Republic ships didn't have Republic red, but rather a brighter red. Perhaps that's a fault of the cartoonieness of the series, but whatever. Your design is awesome: blocky or no, that's the way it looks, and thus I say it's well done.

Thanks! I really wanted to do something I hadn't seen done before, glad you liked it!Clonecommando007 wrote:You did a perfect job on this I think!!! This is a great rendition of one of the least publicized transport vehicles, used particurally on geonosis. Good work!
No, it's from the old Clone Wars game. But thanks!Darth Fett wrote:Thats pretty sweet. Thats from the original Cartoon Network series correst? Over all design is good.
Yes, I do remember that coloring issue... and it would work if it was from the cartoon (See above answer). But I'm glad you guys still like it!80-0 wrote:I say the bright red coloring is fine...

Pretty good. Add some weapons to the top, and it would be great.
Re: Republic Troop Transport - Rothana Heavy Engineering
Thanks, but this was modeled after an actual canon transport that doesn't have anything like that on the top.Clone Marine wrote:Pretty good. Add some weapons to the top, and it would be great.

I think this looks amazing! Maybe you could show us the interior?
