And the first one is the Cycroader II from the Lensman Anime travesty that came out in '84.  Great model, but the film company took the Lensman story and rammed it down a Salad-shooter!  

If the Lensman story you refer to is the E.E.Smith Lensman series, I have to heartily agree with your "salad shooter"  reference.

I also enjoyed reading the Skylark series.

Intrinsic velocity matched, going inert.

I will give some criticism that the preshading on the cement on the second model seems a bit overdone, a bit to much blue

Nice work.  I like the preshading.  Cool looking spacecraft.

The Cycroader reminds me of the ol'  L-Gaim series and some equipment there. 

Both are very nice buildups.

Bottom one is a gunship from the Miyazaki Animated movie 'Nausicaa and the valley of the wind'

I've never built a Sc Fi model but I am a fan of good Sci Fi movies, T.V. etc.  Anyway I really like the builds especially the bottom one. Nicely done and I like the display as well.  Thanks for sharing.

Are those out of a particular universe?  I LOVE the bottom one.  Looks like it's from Maschinen Krieger.  Nice job.
