As we near the end of our tour, we feel compelled to show you <a href="/builder/pete-reid">Peter Reid</a>'s latest ship, the <a href="/registry/ll-605-marauder">LL-605 Marauder</a>. Peter has really pushed the boat out on this one, offering a fantastic amount of detail.

<i><span style="color: #000000">LL-605 is a <span style="color: #000000">long-range tactical interceptor, </span>designed for planetary surveillance and covert operations. <i>Marauder </i>performs admirably in a wide variety of atmospheres, as well as deep space. </span></i>
</p>
<p>
<i><span style="color: #000000">The ship is designed to keep its two-man crew
comfortable over long periods of time, and has proved invaluable
gathering data during the Ugokin conflict.</span></i>

Pete says, <i><span style="color: #000000">LL-605 almost didn’t exist. The ship started out as a rough <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38509565@N00/3113240777/">work-in-progress</a> which, when posted on Flickr, recieved a suprising amount of positive
praise. My good friend (and fellow Spacer) <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/doctorsinister/">Doctor Sinister</a> actually threatened to kill me if I didn’t finish it, so I gave the ship some attention. <br />
</span></i>
</p>
<p>
<i><span style="color: #000000">I spent around fourteen hours stripping
everything off the sketch model, and replacing it with better things. I
bought five copies of a <a href="http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8163-1">new racer set</a>, so I could get hold of a decent number of blue 1x4 curved slopes. A
lot of time was spent making sure everything looked cool. </span></i>

<p>
<i><span style="color: #000000">I had a good time greebling LL-605, and may
have reached a new level of underside detail with this one. Hinge tops
and certain brackets can almost be used as ‘anti-tiles’ - giving a very
pleasing effect down there.</span></i>
</p>
<p>
<i><span style="color: #000000"><i>Marauder </i>is the sturdiest Neo-Classic
Space ship I’ve built so far. All the internals and structure points
are reinforced, to prevent embarrassing incidents at public
events. She's definitely a ship for swooshing. Thanks to Ian for the photo editing.</span></i>
