Err .. if some enterprising company were to so do, they'd need to know
just how big a real dropship is (feet / inches or metres would do just
fine). I have the Aliens Colonial Manual but I can't remember how much
detail there is on the drop ship. I don't recall seeing any useful
plans,
although I haven't opened that book for some time. (Highly
coincidentally
the author, Lee Brimmicombe-Wood, is sat at his desk twenty feet from
mine - he's a games designer working on the same game as I am
currently).
