Re: DS2:Scratchbuilding a dropship

I'm in the middle of converting two of the "Atlantis: The Lost
Continent"
AquaEvac vehicles for use as drop ships. I was able to pick them up at
the
local KB toy store for $7 a piece. Not only do you get some cool bits,
the
main vehicle features a fold down front ramp. Might be worth a look.
