You can find the Forge world Drop Pod moddels here..

Forge World SPACE MARINE SUPPORT

Sorry but citadel (GW) dose not make plastic drop pods moddels.. there was a white dwarf that explained their construction in 1998 and again in 2000.

There is a company not asociated with GW games that is in Austrailia that makes a wooden Drop pod but if you bring one of them to the table at an official game, GW can Ban you from ever entering a Gamesday, Golden Demon, or Grand turnament.

Austrailia has difrent Copy protection laws than UK even though its part of the commenwelth. They have not been able to sue that buisness out of existance. l

Aso in Austrelia you will find a realy old partner of GW called Armorcast and there are some Legacy circa 1989 drop pod moddels from Armorcast But they are higly colecter "never out of box" expencive and monstrously ugly as all armorcast moddels for GW were / are.

The original Armorcast company got sued out of existance as it was also partners with FASA for the Batteltech Mechwarrior game.. FASA had stollen IP rights to art of Robotech saga for the battle Moddels of its games. After 10 years latter it had to fork over 75 million dolars to Bandai Manga Inc .. Armorcast had been contracted to build the resin casts for the moddels of the FASA game never knowin their origins.. They lost about 8 million and the name of the incorprated company was all that was left. Someone a or more year ago bought the right to the name and started using it to make new moddels for other games..
I hope that answers your questions.

Also be aware that an imoblised vehicle gives half of its points value to the enemy. Omega and Gamma this can wype out your narow victory touning it into a draw.. in a turnamen that kills your sole caus yes you be your enemy but it didnt give you more points and so you wn get the by at the end of the round-robin. Drop pods get you close but shoot you in the foot. And a drop pod is easy to pop with a las cannon there by givin the enemy full points.
you can hand me 150 poins and a destroyed enemy unit in turnament any day please.
