Starship Troopers Retrieval Boat, DR-8 Skyhook (Vanilla)

Description
Yet another replica build from the movie. The DR-8 Skyhook makes a few appearances, most noteworthy of which is during the evacuation of Whiskey Oupost.

Full Vanilla build, tested in creative. Due to the tiny amount of internal space for anything, it's mighty underpowered so take that into account when speeding towards a rescue attempt!

Tried to keep it in 1:1 scale but something about it feels off, perhaps the compromises made to allow all the functioning features. Still looks the part, but might see some revisioning sometime in the future. Nevertheless happy about it, and hope you guys enjoy it too :)

Any plans on doing the Dropship from the TV series? possibly with its own Drop Pods?

Not at the moment no. I tried building a mock hangar bay and realized how huge of a task it would be to recreate it in 1:1 scale. I estimate around 600-700m or more. A bit much for my liking and I know I wouldn't settle for anything less than 1:1 replica if I went for it :P

Ah yes, Bomb the frak out of the area, establish a base, and evacuate said base 30~40 seconds later!

You are more than in your right to question it. Like I said I would've yelped as well, the similarity is uncanny and undeniable, but dare I say in some way unavoidable. That said your proportions seem better than mine, feels like mine is too big and flat in comparison.

Fair enough OctoMoose, considering all your previous builds and their level of detail, Im inclined to also believe the "parallel evolution" theory... lol... There were just to many similarities that made me question it.

It looks good though.
