The reddish one is a Federation Destroyer from TSR's Star Frontier's
line of
minis (the opponants of the Traveller ships in this battle)

The blue one could be a Systems Defense Boat.  A good reference on minis
from the Traveller line is Glenn Myers Traveller Starship Mini page:

No, Dean, your other left... ;->=

That's the 'dreadnought' you couldn't identify; it's Traveller, but
until I
find the blister with the pieces I have, I can't recall what it's
called.
It was a modular design across several blisters.

D'uh, it's the 'clipper'. Glenn only shows the fuel cutter, which you
can
spy on the back of the big honking 'dreadnought'.

I've blisters 5818 and 5819. Apparently, the 'head' is in 5817. Wish
Glenn
would put a picture of the work-in-progress. What he calls a side spinal
mount is, I think, the center axis of the 'dreadnought'. REALLY hard
imagining this dingus with only 2/3 of the parts. *sigh*

Trying for third times a charm, I went to Thomas Granvold's list, and
noticed that 5817 is the Clipper, while ..18 and ..19 are modules to
hang
on it. If you look at the center of the 'dreadnought' you'll see bulges
that are where, I assume, the modules fit against, both fore and aft, so
that the completed ship could be that wide from head to tail.

The module with the 'spinal' mount would look a trifle silly unless, and
maybe even with, full length of modules. It's a thin 'pipe' probably as
long as the clipper itself, attached near one end to one of the modules.
Now, one one each side...!
