    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I like your suggestion of using Crazy Glue with dental floss or thread, I'm definitely going to experiment with it. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the 12 page Cylon Basestar PDO download here on Zealot. I think it's on the very last page of the BSG downloads. I'm still trying to figure...

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Thanks space agent-9! I first saw the complete fleet hanging in a local hobby shop, & shortly after just happened to stumble upon those ships on Stevespaper.com. I heartily agree with you about embracing changes, I was just thinking that in regard to all the new DC movies & TV series as well as...

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    & here is a pic of the rebuilt upper engine for the Geminon Traveler. My previous engine build really looked awful because I used carpenter's wood glue & it yellowed everything. I was new to paper modeling at the time. Much happier with this one. :)

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    This evening, just adding a few little greebles on the topside of the Geminon Traveler. Nothing fancy, just some doubled-up parts. I'm going to add some on the sides, bottom & back too.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Thanks! I have plans for a space backdrop as the fleet progresses. Just in the upper 2 feet of the wall. & maybe some strategically placed LED lights for effect. But, we'll see. It's hard to find the time to do all that I'd like to do with these models.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Here is the ragtag fleet so far. The Galactica(2003) & Galactica(TOS) in front. With colonial shuttle, Berserk Battlestar, & Battlestar Pegasus bringing up the rear. Soon to join the journey are the Geminon Traveler & the Celestra. Planning to post some progress pics for those 2 very soon.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Thanks! I think I still messed up pretty good a second time on that front section though. But, I think I can clean it up with a little patience. It won't be my best model I've assembled. I've had some frustrations with it, not from any design flaw, but from my own fumbling fingers. :( I'll keep...

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Just a few pics of my almost finished model of Jaybat's Galactica. The glue is still drying, & I have yet to clear coat it.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Thanks! I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. Hoping for the best, but I am experimenting a lot with this one. I just got the engines cut out, hope to have some progress on them soon.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I think the fuselage buttoned up pretty nicely, I do still have some fine tuning around the edges to do. Adding the little foamboard panels I think will beef it up pretty good too. Now to move on with the engines & some greeblin'! :) Trying to stay hooked up on this model till it's finished...

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Decided to make my own tabs this time around. For around the cockpit & the prow. Hope they work out.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I've been working on the Geminon Traveler this evening. I started with a new template & am going to use what I've previously assembled for greebling parts. I just wasn't happy with some of my seams. Anyway, as I a assembled the fuselage for my newer build, I decided to glue some foamboard to the...

    I thank you for that, Rhaven Blaack. I have made some really good friends here in this past year. I hope to make some more. :) This is a great forum!

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I know it might be premature, but I had to post a pic with these 2 together. Jaybat's Galactica & Pegasus. Both in the same scale, though my pic sizes are a bit off. These 2 models just go together!
