The work of Ian McQue































I have just come across the exceptional work of concept artist, Ian McQue. His illustration takes you to a gritty world where rusty ships chug through smog filled skies, crewed by bots and grubby sailors turned pilots. Follow the LINK to see more examples of McQue's fine artwork.

Above is a rather special and unique 1/35 scale model kit entitled 'Remora'. It's a 2nd edition limited to just 50 kits. You can pre-order one now for $150 a piece (roughly £95) - go grab yours HERE while stocks last. 
“The Remora was built in ’73 by J.Dowling & Sons, out of Wearland. An Imp-Class light rigger, it served for 19 years at Crabden Port in Thamesmouth as a cargo loader for the East Island Trading Company. After being sold for scrap, it was purchased and refitted by MacNeil Haulage and put to work as an island hopper, under the command of Captain Jerome Bale, making short-haul provision runs for the mining communities of the Jayamena island cluster. It has a net tonnage of 16 and a lift tonnage of 38. It is powered by a single-turbine Hütter-Schneider Mk.V gravity engine and has a top speed, free-floating, of 27 knots.”
