I suppose I'm am being mildly off-topic, but I've gotten so hyped over the
upcoming Battlestar Galactica movie that I've got BG on the brain :)
I've built a microfig scale Battlestar, which is actually making me figure out
how to Ldraw, and will use that, several photos, and a BG blueprints book to
design a scale model, probably about 2 or 2 1/2 feet long, depending on how
much grey I have by then. Expect to see an entry. :)
OBSW: Lucasfilm tried to sue BG for similarities to SW, but it was ruled that
the two series were quite disimilar in theme and content. As an aside, before
BG went into production, there was a list of things they weren't allowed to do
because it would be "SW-esque" - blaster bolts, among others.
