Thanks 2phase, JAWS and Wombat! Glad you like it.
I am certainly minor league – thanks for letting me play along.
I hope to have a *few* 1:1 kit parts, 3phase... but I can't break the bank on a second massive project.
Awesome, Jase. I am trying to work from photos and the drawing, but might bug some for photos of areas that don't get much photo attention. Some of the underside seems to be hard to track down reference that's not at some crazy angle/wide type photo.
Yes Wombat - a nice breeze could ruin my Battlestar. *blush* lol
I know one of my Cylon pals thinks I'm crazy for doing a Battlestar over a Basestar, but the massive re-use of most every part (like up to 20 times?) on a Basestar... I am going to leave for later when I am brave (time, space and money) enough to try and cast stuff myself. A Battlestar I think I can get away with 2 or 4 of most parts (left & right) for my "want-to-be" build concept... I know the "real" Galactica has a lot of re-use here and there, but the Annihilation is being built by "Cylon bean counters."
I too have thought of some signature parts - like the bridge area. But I no idea on how to go about them yet. I could babble about a Centurion, but Battlestars are still a bit daunting.
Hummm... I didn't ponder PVC not supporting the ship. I'm a Cylon and will have to consult the manual before the ground comes up and hits my Raider
lol
I started the cardboard phase. The center area is redone. Much stronger and I hope will be a solid foundation for the rest of my evil Cylon machine!
