The latest stage of my own WIP can be found here (as can all of the WIP) and should be finished by the weekend http://dwartist.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/wip-acp-games-vanir-dropship.html

Because no one would ever buy it in 28mm?

Touché...but then again, finding a good curvy 28mm dropship is very hard. And I don't like using toys.

Malebogia....maybe time to start perusing Hobbylink Japan for sales on big Anime kits...and do some kitbashing?  I like the design of this dropship.  It's a bit standard but at least looks like it can carry stuff.

I wouldn't use the word 'standard' in this instance; there are hardly any dropships in 15mm to begin with (only 6mm has a serious array of designs) and concept wise there is just so much. I very much like it, sorta like if Aliens dropship merged with something from thunderbirds!

Well kick my starter!

That's a very nice design, and would work really well as an infantry dropship for my budding 15mm Battletech project.

I'll keep an eye on this one, you know; just to be sure...  :D

I was thinking more of Aliens merged with a Hind gunship.
