PdC Parts Festival: Classic Space micro ships

Our latest parts festival is nearing its end but fear not, we have some models from Peter Reid and his pals, using the parts he took home after attending our final session. Although he rarely makes instructions of his work, Peter has listed which of the new parts he used in each model, so you can get hold of the ones you're less likely to have.

LL611

This first model, a Neo-Classic Space (NCS) micro ship, was made during the New Elementary workshop in Portugal. I wasn't sure I'd be able to make anything decent in an unfamiliar building environment, but it turned out fine; after one or two false starts I had this little beauty in hand. I managed to safely bring it home and put the ship in a safe place, ready for photography. I immediately lost it, and had to recreate it from pictures taken by the lovely Miguel.

Parts used: 2 x 29120, 2 x 29119, 1 x 25892

ICE Zycon III

This micro ship is loosely based on the old Ice Planet 2002 set 6973 Deep Freeze Defender from 1993.

Parts used: 2 x 27257

NCS Probe LL267

During another session, this time in collaboration with Jeremy Williams, this little NCS probe ship emerged.

Parts used: 1 x 29120, 1 x 29119, 4 x 25892

ICE Fighter

Another ICE micro, this time a collaboration with (Sexy) Drew Hamilton. Sexy Drew came to visit me recently, and I showed him the parts and asked if he could do anything with them. He breathed new life into a moribund tablescrap.

Parts used: Parts used 2 x 29120, 2 x 29119, 4 x 25892, 2 x 25866

NCS Micro Heavy Bomber LL863

Yet another NCS micro ship. Those little curved blue bits are lovely for NCS shaping. This one uses light bley trapezoid wings, which are beautiful and incredibly rare.

Parts used: 2 x 29120, 2 x 29119, 1 x 25892

I hope you've enjoyed these models. I'd like to thank the excellent Chris Salt for helping me out with post production.

Fear not folks, the festival is not quite over - there's more models coming from Pete next time.
