A model I'm working on. It's supposed to be the starship from an imaginary early 70s BBC science fiction show.

Ah... well, I can't seem to get "insert image" to work, so here's the link:

Hi Paul,

Love your work, very interested to see more, would you mind if I put some of your flickr images in this thread?

Paul Lloyd · 29-07-2012, 09:19 AM

Hello- I wouldn't mind at all - thanks!

**Captain Sci-Fi** · 29-07-2012, 09:42 AM

Thank you Paul....

I love the retro feel to some of Paul's designs, I definitely hear the spares box calling for a build or two....

Steve Gerard · 29-07-2012, 04:44 PM

Paul, nice designs.

**healvis** · 29-07-2012, 07:50 PM

Very nice Paul. I like the Botany Bay style ship very much.
John.

I really like the yellow and black "35" I will build that as a physical model if you can publish orthographic views Paul (please).

These are Superb Designs! number 35 looks like something You'd see in Either Space:1999,Star Wars,or Disney's Space Mountain! Keep up the Superb Work! Dan

Paul Lloyd · 30-07-2012, 04:31 PM

Hello! Thanks for the comments - I'll try to dig out the old files and do some orthographic views!

**Howard** · 30-07-2012, 05:54 PM

Fantastic work indeed Paul, with a great variety of styles. I particularly like the Foss inspired designs.

Be terrific if you can Paul...!

One other thing has crossed my mind, how about a competition to make a new interpretation of the paint scheme, it would be pretty easy to kit the design of "35" and offer it to competition entrants or maybe ask Paul to design something especially, building from scratch would be fine too.

You could finish it as an Alphan ship or a guest craft, would that be OK with you Paul? Also if you think I am insane let me know....

saturnapollo · 01-08-2012, 08:52 PM

These are magnificent designs. Although all are great I especially like the Ultraprobe type one and the Icarus.

**Captain Sci-Fi** · 02-08-2012, 12:10 AM

The Icarus looks like is has mass and inertia, I had a hard time choosing just these from his portfolio. Paul really has that design style touch, they are fantastic.

The "White Ship" is inspired by Ultraprobe I think, but I love the extrapolation of the lifeboat design and I could well imagine this ship carries a dozen Galileo style satellites and launches them around nearby star systems....

SteveDix · 02-08-2012, 11:12 AM

I thought the same about the white ship, and the Icarus has something of the Nostromo about it. Prospero looks like an extended-voyage 2001 Moon ferry. I think they all look fantastic, though.

How about having a competition where entrants have to pick one of the ships to build?

**Captain Sci-Fi** · 02-08-2012, 02:35 PM

I would be game, what do others think?

How about it Paul, can we use these designs or could you perhaps give us something new? Some of these designs are old and I think he has trouble locating the original files.

It's a good idea, let's hope we can do it.

Paul Lloyd · 02-08-2012, 07:01 PM

I'd be really curious to see a design of mine as a physical model! Most of the files are on an old computer - I'll pull it down from the attic and render some orthos if you want. Here's 3 views of the Icarus:

And here to whet the appetite, many thanks Paul....

B.P. Taylor · 19-09-2012, 11:02 PM

Wow, these are great Paul! You've just given me some ideas to use on my current project.
Thanks for sharing these.
