Rebel Alliance U-Wing Dropship(?)

This is a bizarre-looking spaceship. This is the U-Wing, a dropship (apparently) that will feature in Star Wars: Rogue One, a film for which I have much hype. Images of this craft are few and far between, so I had to use my best guess and some artistic license.

 

It's an ungainly looking ship from most angles, but from the 3/4 shot it hides the mass of the troop bay really well. I like it. There's pictures of a couple of Rebels for scale. They can /almost/ stand upright, but not quite.

 

The build itself is as you would expect from me. Delicate as a butterfly's wing. Angles that only work by accident. The troop deck, which you would think should be the starting point, was actually second to the entire top deck. Only the wings and engines were done after that.

 

Speaking of the wings, I'm very pleased by the almost total lack of sagging. Pity the angle of the wings doesn't really leave any options but jagged tiles.

 

So yeah, let me know what you think (add notes if you like, woo, notes!), it's been a while since I've built anything...

 

PS. FIRST! Yeah, seriously. I can't actually be the first person to build this... can I?
