Recovery & Munitions Special
Yes, I realize it's a bit of a strange mix, but hey, it's
fun! This model was cool on a couple of levels. It was designed
to look like a conventional recovery vehicle, being able to drop a basket
down a deep ravine (from the opt of the table to the floor. Many craft
seemed to miss the landing pad & crash landed onto the floor for whatever
reason). But inside, this guy had teeth. The top split open to
reveal one of the nastier guns I've dreamt up.

Forward View The obnoxious red block was for
steering so I could actually play with it. Rear View
Here you can see the back. The recovery basket in it's stowed
position. |

Say...Aaaahhhhhhh!!!! A nice interior view
showing the very research oriented array of comput...oh dear lord is
that a 5-barrel pulse cannon with missile launcher pointing in my eye?
Why yes, yes it is a 5-barrel pulse cannon with missile launcher
pointing in my eye. |

Interior view Another view of the inside with
the Big Teeth stowed.

Recovery Operation And yes, it can be used to
recover things in deep ravines, tabletops, etc. The ladders
serve as stability control, as well as extensions. The sides of
the cab can flip down so the winch operator can see what he's doing. |
