 | | Battlestar Galactica Minis! —Christopher Deck
|
| | | Hello altogether! Some may know me from many MINI Star Wars models. But today's post is a little different. I recently watched some classic episodes of Battlestar Galactica, an old SciFi series. I thought I'd give it a try and build some BS (...)

| | | | | (...) Wow, those are great! I'm going to build those tonight. My kids will love them. I've always loved the ships of Galactica, it's good to see these minis. Any thoughts about doing Cylon raiders? (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Hey Chris, Just saw these on Brickshelf. Outstanding! I especially love the Viper. I agree with Kelly, all you need now is a Cylon Raider. Hmmm . . . puts on thinking cap . . . mentally rummages through bin of plates . . . considers some (...) (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Thank you for the comments Bruce and Kelly! You're right, a Cylon Raider there must be. ;-) I will give it a try! Cheers, Chris (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Neat models! My students already do the Star Wars minis in CAD; gotta show them your BG minis too.. Darrell ps I know it's kind of cheating, and I'm not sure about the scale, but couldn't you use one of these "hand" pieces (in bley if it was (...) (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | Hello Darrell! Thanks for the praises! I don't think using Bionicle pieces is cheating. Admitted, I don't like Bionicle and I think these prefabricated huge form parts are not what we would like to see, but sometimes, these just provide the shape (...)

| | | | | Wicked cool! I am a big fan of the look (if not the writing, and acting) of the old BG and the viper especially is amazing. The use of the screwdriver for a laser cannon ... mounted with the clip... just fantastic! Gotta go make one, thanks for the (...) (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | Hello and thanks for the comment! :-) I am already working on a raider but I find the shape which is elliptic very hard. I have several drafts and still try to find the perfect solution. :-) Cheers, Chris (19 years ago, 27-Oct-05, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | Further BSG models —Christopher Deck
|
| | | | Hello again! I thought about further models of the series, and decided that the classci series is much better than the nre remake. Hence I'd like to only do ships of the claasic series. I finally have a layout for the Cylon Raider, which I am only (...) (19 years ago, 29-Oct-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Well, although I like the new series, and the updated designs, at micro scale the differences are indistinguishable, for the most part (except maybe the Cylon raider). (...)

| | | | I always thought that there was a huge gun of some kind which was fired from a planet, and could destroy entire ships, but only had a fixed aiming point or line beyond which it could not target the ships. It almost got the BSG and got quite a few (...) (19 years ago, 29-Oct-05, to lugnet.space)
