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.
That is really amazing, Panic. Thanks for posting the pictures.
Automatically Appended Next Post: We've been working on a more modular dungeon based on the same pattern as the Dwarf Hall.
In order to make it as modular and customizable as possible, we've put up a Dungeon Creator page where you can pick the types of walls, floors and accessories you want. Check it out here.
Walls
Floors
And these wall skins will come in many textures to add a different flavor to each room
They look good. Basic, generic, very serviceable. My only little comment would have to be: please be more descriptive in your webstore. I have no idea what I get for 12.95$, even with a group picture, the size is hard to gauge.

Thanks for pointing that out. We're a bunch of misanthropic hermits here and forget that most people communicate with means other than grunts and gestures.
I just wanted to update you on what we have been working on for the last month or so.
First of all, we have made some progress on the Dark Elf walls. It was a tough decision but we decided to scrap my idea of making the gate look like a screaming high elf face. There was just no way we could pull it off without making it look goofy. In fact, Terry won't let us post pictures online. I believe the consensus was a muttered "More like Santa's elves..."
Please let us know what you think. We are thinking of keeping the outer wall smooth with runes or evil symbols on the inner wall or under the points. But if you think the stone texture works for elfy buildings, please let us know. We will also try to develop a "good" elf version and maybe even some more options for the gate than just "skull face" if there is demand. What do you think?

Yeah I'd rename your Dark elf range mischievious pixie to cover yourselves. It won't be long before GW try to claim they invented dwarves as well, or travelled back in time and gave Tolkien the entire idea of The Lord of the Rings subliminally in his sleep.
I love the drop ship. The rear stabilizer looks teeny tho.
Mayhaps instead of one vertical, two at an angle? Many of the next gen space plane concept have them. Despite being flat panels it manages to not be overly boxey, I think the straight upright just doesn't fully mesh.
There is a word for a wargamer with an empty paint bench.
The dropship itself is laser cut MDF. It's durable and sturdy, but also heavier than resin. Some of the detailed pieces will be resin, like the canopy and the exhaust nozzles and parts of the guns. The gun barrels themselves will be either aluminum or styrene rod to prevent warping or snapping. The weapons screw on to be interchangeable, but you can glue them too. This is still a prototype, so there might be some tweaks based on feedback or any issues that come up.
Also, we are working on a technique that allows customers to personalize their dropships by having us engrave their armies' symbosl onto the ships. (See the Angry Badger logo? That could be your logo.) This would probably be a slight additional charge over a the cost of a "vanilla" dropship, to cover burn time for the logo.
We are really trying to find a decent price for this model, but unfortunately shipping will be quite a bear because it is heavy and long. We will probably just include most of the shipping in the list price to prevent nasty surprises during checkout.
@HisDivineShadow Thank you for the suggestions. We really appreciate your feedback, and not just because I was advocating two tails myself. (I was going for more of a B25 or Seaduck tail.) At this stage, the details might be too fixed to split the tail altogether, but we might be able to change it somewhat to make it more interesting. We keep going over the design and improving it, but soon we'll have to walk away and call it finished. However, if we make any fighters or gunships, twin tails would be ace...

I apologize. I cut directly to the last post after seeing the thread title without reading the prior pages, which certainly makes me look like a dumbass in hindsight.
If you can get the price point right, I think the dropship would be a license to print money.

Probably.
That's why we want to "hide" the shipping cost in the price of the dropship. We want to have the shipping charge be about the same as it would be for the barricade kits, which is around $25 or 16-18 pounds(?) to the UK. How is that?
@HisDivineShadow, after discussing it, we will try a two-tailed version similar to your suggestion. If we can make it work, we'll put up pics (might be a week or two) and maybe even have two versions of the dropship for sale depending on feedback.
