Anyone know anything about these spaceships? auction

Yes, the two on the right are Games Workshop freighters (Goliath Class?) from their "Space Fleet" Range.

Yep, Goliath fuel tankers – one of them is even on a Space Fleet octagon base. The station looks like a kitbash to me, but might be an Aerotech thing. None of them have anything to do with Superior Models. Goliaths were pure chaotic fun in their original rules. They could vent raw fuel and detonate it, producing gigantic, extremely random AoE explosions, and when you killed one any fuel on board detonated in the same way. Chain reactions were commonplace.

GW picked the moulds up from someone else. I recall buying one of those 10(?) years before Space Fleet came out. I don't recall who the original manufacturer was.

The third one looks like a RAFM Traveller Broadsword mercenary Cruiser with the landing legs glued in wrong.

I think you are right Gypsy!

Ah, I think Gypsy's got it, yes. GW picked the moulds up from someone else. That would be QT Models, I believe. Regardless, that octagon base one of them's parked on never came from anywhere but a Space Fleet packs.
