I've been trying to come up with a project I would like to actually finish. This might be the one. Built in Sketchup and rendered out with Kerk. It's fairly original not really based on any one universe. Let me know what you think...

Yeah, that's the idea, just working on over all structure, I was thinking of retractable gear, but I don't know if it needs them. I think if I go with the hospital I will definitely need better access to the ship from the ground.
Those exit tubes look awfully small for exits. Perhaps enlarge them by 25 percent vertically, and double the width. That would give plenty of room for two people to pass each other to get inside. Also, a port every couple of meters on the tubes would probably be good, so that anyone moving through them wouldn't be blind to the situation outside. I also agree with Cavebear's assertion on the landing jacks, but I would make twin ones going to each leg, meeting at the foot itself and forming a V.
I think your right, let me see what I can do...
But for now some details added
How about this?
probably more for looks then actual practicality
I see it being used in Human breathable atmospheres. If it was used for troop transport it would be away from any real action, I see it as being too bulky to be in the thick of battle. While the thread heading calls it a troop transporter, I think it is morphing into more of a portable command center. I am also toying with the idea of it being configured as a hospital ship as well.

Attached is a render with the new turrets.
Just and idea, take it or leave it. :-)
I'll take it
Like this?
Gotcha. Added the cupola turret on top, (why waste a good turret? )
Also toying with a drop ship possibility. will need some additional work on the configuration, and docking structure on the main ship.
