person who designed the Sci-Fi sets for Dwarven Forge is Tony Colasante.
He did a bunch of stuff for Armorcast as well. He has his own terrain
studio
now called Griffon Studios. Makes some pretty cool stuff. The terrain
not
matching up wasn't a design issue on his end, btw-DF didi something when
they made the molds.
