Ryan,
Very cool ship. I really like the dark blue on light grey color scheme. I
think that really sets off your design. The shape of the wings really evokes
the cylon raider feel. I also like the look of the embedded starwars engine
pieces in the wings. You really managed to create a smoothly flowing shape
using the wedge & slope pieces.
Since I’m also a BG fan, I really like to see “expanded universe” creations.
This looks like a really neat pre-quel-esque cylon design or a small cylon
scout fighter/interceptor since the raider is more of an attack craft.
The only things I would criticize is the landing gear seemed a bit taked on
and I would have made the horizontal tail planes a little smaller.
Otherwise, a really great MOC. I also agree that the canopy kinda takes away
from the cylon look. Unfortunately, there is not a good lego canopy that
approximates the “stepped-louvered” look of a cylon raider. The only thing
that I can think of is to try to build a canopy using black plates & tiles,
but it would endup being opaque.
Great idea, great MOC,

Douglas, thanks a bunch for your comments.
It’s funny, this ship is. I’ve never seen an episode of Battlestar Galactica in
my life. All I had to go on was the Lego works I could find on Brickshelf. :)
The landing gear was one of the last bits I worked on, so I totally understand
how they look added-on. I tried to avoid that, but I’m not kicking myself
because you pointed it out. I will try harder next time, though.
I agree about the cockpit. There just isn’t a perfect solution. But with the
suggestions you and others have made, perhaps an upgrade in the future might be
a little more Cylon-esque.
Again, thanks! :D
