Enough OT stuff for now, back On-Topic.

While attempting to access http://www.revell-monogram.com without luck

http://revell.de ie the German company.

While having a look around, I found that they're going to be releasing
some - wait for it - Perry Rhodan ships. No details as to the size of
the models, but depending on that, they could be either excellent landing
shuttles for DS II, or good ships for FT. Their is one Hammerhead design that
would be fine for any Honor Harrington game.

Revell Germany also has some Minikits from Star Trek: Voyager. These are about
5cm (2") long, so would be great as Full Thrust vessels.

If you're looking for DS II Mobile Planetary Defences, go no further than the
Evil Empire(tm) aka Pudding Workshop aka GW, who put out (mail
order only now) a series of "Ordinatus". These are large multi-bogied
weapons, somewhat reminiscent of railway guns. One has a large Beam weapon,
another a brace of humungous missiles, a third a large reflector dish. Unlike
almost all of the GW models, these do not have a particularly Gothic feel.
They almost look practicable: a bunch of tracked bogies, with a lightweight
scaffolding on top, then a really huge weapons system, yet one that is not so

similar to the "Scud Hunts" of Desert Storm, where the mobile Planetary
