“I Hate You, Ian McQue…”

Once upon a time, (modelling) life was simple. I was content to build kits and scratch build from various Gerry Anderson series, assorted Sci-Fi television and movies, and Japanese anime mechs from the 80’s & 90’s. And then it happened; I stumbled across a posting in “Concept Ships” featuring the work of artist Ian McQue. His color palate and subjects of flying junk boats traversing through the air, defying gravity on some future/past Earth or other planet was inspiring! This was 10 years ago, and from then on he has lived in my head rent free. So for this latest project I decided the best way to “purge” was to build a small fleet of ships to get him out of my system. As usual, the plan failed...

Had a sudden urge to scratch a bike from Solo, the concept Ian McQue did was great so in the end I went for that. I couldn’t put it down once I started. I used Archive-X paint.

This fantastic piece was hand crafted by the amazing Laurent Perini of France! Utilizing the fantastic design of Ian McQue, Laurent made this piece as if it could be a filming miniature today… with all the details that make it look realistic! It reminds me of the Junk boats traversing the waters of Hong Kong… except with space engines! This is absolutely beautiful work! I love this type of creative modeling!

This is what Laurent Perini has to say…

I carried out this vessel on idea of the draftsman Ian McQue. I took the concept of the hybrid style of spaceship because it is really interesting. I make you shared my realization which was a work that I appreciated much.

Thank You!
