A final look at some of the photos from last Sunday’s Smallspace event.
As I said in my first post, Andy Preston’s Refit Enterprise was the star of the show for me. His attention to detail, and his meticulous pearlescent paint job was second to none.
Andy tells me it took around 4 months on and off, to carefully complete the painting process.
Some more shots of Richard Ashton’s highly detailed scratch-built models.
A couple of photos from the Motion Picture Miniatures display, showing castings of the 27” Batwing as seen in Tim Burton’s, Batman.
A Klingon Vor’cha battle cruiser from Star Trek: The Next Generation. When completed this will be displayed at the National Film and Sc-Fi Museum at Milton Keynes.
Two 1:72 scale dioramas on display at the Cozmic Scale Modals stall. One showing a scene from ‘V’, and another showing a Battlestar Galactica Viper Hangar.
Another couple of photos showing Kevin D’s models, and a photo of Kevin and Myself by his display (photo taken by Mike Tucker)
A few candid shots of some of the other friends I meet up with.
Prolific modeller David Sisson and his partner, Alison Thorne always put on a great model display. This year was no exception.
Space:1999 expert and collector , Simon Rhodes, who displayed some of his original Mike Noble ‘Star Fleet’ artwork, seen here sat with trader, transport manager, and all round good guy, Tony Freeman and Alison Thorne.
In the foreground, Tony Freeman, with fellow film fan and prop collector, Simon Greetham chatting with David Sisson.
Ever wondered what’s inside a Dalek casing. Here’s all the complicated remote control gubbins inside Iain McDonald’s grey Dalek.
Finally, some photos I’ll file under miscellaneous.
A 1: 3 scale ‘Power of the Daleks’ Dalek model in it’s own excellent diorama.
A resin model rocket, built by Andrew Prentis, based on designs seen in the Dan Dare inspired ‘Ministry of Space’ graphic novel.
A model of a Borg in it’s alcove. Unfortunately, I don’t who made this model, but it looked great and included a green flickering lighting effect.
Lovely shots of great models Scoop.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mish. It was a good turn out.
DeleteThe painting of that Enterprise is stunning and something I would not like to attempt!
ReplyDeleteI'll stick to my lowly AMT Enterprise models, Kev. I can just about tackle to detailing on those!; D
DeleteA great day out for sure and spectacular models. Thanks for sharing Scoop.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people don't get the chance to go to these events, so it's always a pleasure to try and share my experience.
DeleteThank you for the great coverage of a show many of us couldn't get to.
ReplyDeleteCheers Terra. I probably miss the odd thing but I'm glad you and a few others enjoy my coverage. I'm looking forward to the next one at Cromford, although I believe that's going to be a bit different this time with more emphasis on comics and collectibles rather than just a model show.
