Quote:Personally, I don't much like the Titanium one- way overpriced for too little accuracy. IMO the Konami one is pretty good, if slightly (also) overpriced.

Lords of Kobol- I know too much about this ship now...

For me it's all about scale. If I want to have a Galactica along side the Enterprise or Saratoga etc, they have to be smallish.
It's impossible to find either the Konami or the Titanium at a reasonable price. Canada never got the org. BSG ships.
I'll probably have to get a Revell model.
Did you see the Prototype Galactica they built back in the 70's geared to come out with the BSG toys? I think it went for over $5000.00 on E-bay.

I'll git to that dish in a while.
Ever gonna try your hand at a Base Star? Original BSG, of course, not those newfangled monstrosities that lack personality.

Model work is my new obsession. But, you guys all know that by now.

Congrats, Chris!
I remember those heady days of my youth, learning new modeling techniques with each new project:
• From trying to paint a hull with a brush to using a spray can, and then an airbrush.
• From trying to paint fine details freehand to masking them off with Scotch® Magic tape.
• Learning to trim decals right to the edge of the design (w/ teeny surgical scissors), then spraying clear flat over the whole model when I was done.
I was also addicted to publications like...
• FineScale Modeler http://www.finescale.com/
• Everything written by Francois Verlinden http://www.verlindenonline.com/
• This book was my bible! http://www.scribd.com/doc/17243902/HINTS-AND-TIPS-FOR-PLASTIC-MODELING

Thanks CL!
My Viper is the next thing to be featured (any day now). It's my pride & joy. Best work I've ever done.
Next Viper I make will be part of a diorama with landing gear & such. But next up is a rather big project; if it seems to be working out, I'll let you know.

http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=26530 yeah, I saw that early on- absolutely fantastic precision work. No way I could spend six months on one model that small like he did.
BTW, he missed a detail on the engine section, but whatever.
