KevinP::Old Models
These are models I mostly no-longer have and date from a long time ago...
 
 
Cardboard Spaceships
These are all scratchbuilt from cardboard or thick paper with old kit parts stuck on for detailing.
 
Bashed Kits

Inspired by the Star Wars™ B-Wing, the cockpit and main wing are from a 1/72 F111 and the vertical wings are from a 1/72 Harrier.
A 1/72 tank chasis with extra detailing, and a couple of Harrier wings with a tail plane stuck on top.
This is the back-pack from a robot kit (something called Iron-Gear I think), with a plastic girder and the "ears" from the same robot at the front.
 
Bloodhound surface to air missile.
Not modified, just photographed in an alternative location.
 
Mecha
I don't remember where these mecha come from (anybody recognize them?). The "ray-gun" effect was achieved by cutting a slot into the background, and shining a slide projector though the hole. This was done before the days of Photoshop™. It does have the advantage of casting light onto the front of the model, which adds to the realism.
This is the only picture I could find of this scratchbuilt robot. It was made of sheet plastic with odds and ends stuck on for detail.
Space Marines
Space marines look like Wombles to me, so I tend to modify their noses to reduce the resemblance.
Same "ray-gun" trick as the robot above.
The basis for the gun-emplacement was the electron gun from a T.V. tube.
This is a scratchbuilt 1/32 Space Marine, scuplted onto an Airfix multipose figure.
 
Model Engineering
These two models were entered in the Sci-Fi classes of the Model Engineer Exhibition.
The Tech Dragon won me a gold medal in 1988.
Road Runner won a bronze medal in 1989.
 
The rest
Things I couldn't find any other way of grouping together.
Games Workshop Skeletons. They always struck me as looking like Ray Harryhausen skeletons.
This bunker was made using various bits of plastic sheet, milliput etc. It had the wind-up motor from a Zoid to make the scanner go round.
This is a heavy weapons lizard. I posed it with a lizard on a speeder bike, but I don't have a decent photo of the two together.
I think this ship came from the Japanese Lensman anime. I tweaked it a bit because I thought that aesthetically it was a bit short.
Enterprise 'A'. I didn't like this kit much. It's too big for me to cope with, and it didn't fit together very well. I tried lighting it with fibre-optics, which didn't work well either.
Death Star Trench. I bult the X-Wing and Andy Coleman built the T.I.E. Fighter from the T.I.E. interceptor with scratch-built "wings". We used to pose them together on our display tables, so we then thought we could make a part of the trench. It was about 1 meter long, and detailed with whatever we could find.
