Rebel Ground Transport
Dimensions: 9.9 x 6 x 4.2 studs/16 x 6.4 x 5.7 studs
Pieces: 98/150
Instructions: None/None

Yavin Base
Rebel ground transports can be seen in Yavin Base before the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope. I wanted to make as accurate a transport as I could in mini-fig scale, which was pretty difficult at the scale with having to keep as much of the shape and details as I could. The entirety of the sides and back are SNOT, compliments of 1x1 headlight bricks set in the interior. The 1x2 grill bricks in the back are pearly silver, though the pictures don't show it too well. It's driven by Rebel Ground Crew and seats up to four people in the back.
Echo Base/Home One
This version of the Rebel ground transport can be seen throughout Echo Base in The Empire Strikes Back and on Admiral Ackbar's Rebel flagship Home One in Return of the Jedi. All the sides are SNOT, using hinges for the eight angled sections and technic bricks with 1/2 pins for the 1x4 tiles and front and back. This was a lot easier than the first Rebel ground transport as it's basically just a box, but I still got as much detail into it as I could.
Below are pictures of an Echo Base transport (driven by a Rebel Soldier) and a Home One transport (driven by Rebel Ground Crew). It fits up to six people in the back.
