The rarefied atmosphere

That's really awesome. I love the design ethos of the top half. I hope there are plans to incorporate it's ideas into future designs.

The USS Orinoco was a Federation Danube-class runabout that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to Deep Space 9. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.

you should call it a 'Fiddler'

It's a pretty nice kit but I think it lacks a certain originality to set it apart from the average. Even without having to watch yourself for stepping on GW IP you could have mixed things up a bit in the general shape and style.

otherwise though.. Nicely done. I like it.

Epic name for the biggest marine beasty ever, swallows ships and makes the Kraken look like a puppy. Also the name of one of the princes of hell.

Was following the ATT work log for the last two years such a beautiful kit, nice to see it finally finished.

Actually, you should call it the Mithrax.

No, I'm not kidding.

Mithrax or if you wish the latin name Mithraculus, is a genus/species of crab.

http://www.tfhmagazine.com/resources/marine-invert-of-the-month/marineinvert20090916.htm

Now, there are different colours and subspecies of the Mithrax Crab, but they're usually discussed as having "heavy armor" "large front claws", etc.

So, rather than calling it a "crab", call it a Mithraculus.

NB: My nickname actually comes from my own devising, from Mithril and Tamex (the dwarven name of Thakisis in Dragonlance). It wasn't until I got married and my stepson saw the nickname and goes "Isn't that a crab?".

Actually I love tau.
"Space commies? SPACE COMMIES? I was fine with space fascists, with evil, corrupt humans who have pledged their service to the dark gods and torture all they meet for a small chance at immortality. And those who trick the others and attack them to rebuild their own empire. And fine again, with the skeletal warriors intent on harvesting all life in the galaxy, the ones who thrive when they are mercilessly torturing and brutalising a living creature, and even the mutated beasts who would consume all life in the universe had they the chance. But Space Commies? That is just going to far."

The model makes me of the robo-sapien remote controlled dancing robots that have been around for a few years now. Maybe basing the name off of that......naahh.
