    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    My Babylon 5 station, from Jaybats design. I reinforced the spine of the station by using 2 spliced together rolls from Glad's Press n' Seal wrap. I had to make a few sleeves on the end pieces, & cut some circular supports from foamboard on the wider pieces. But other than that, the tubes were...

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I apologize, I'm still so bad about taking progress pics. But, here are 3 of my current distractions keeping me from continuing on the "Galactica Fleet" . Jay bats Babylon 5 station, Clever Santoro's U.S.S. Excelsior, & the AT-AT from SF Paper Craft ( not sure of the designer at this point).

    BSG Defender

    Wow Skyseeker! That model is looking great! Your seams look so clean. Really look forward to seeing more pics of this model! Are the turrets the ones you designed? They look good too! I know it's hard to find time, but keep it up! :)

    Thanks Zathros, I am looking to hopefully get a new camera soon, this iPad mini is great, but like you said not good for close ups of models. I appreciate the input. :)

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Thanks Skyseeker, I'm trying to get motivated to get back to work on the 3 ft. Galactica now, as well as Celestra & Geminon Traveler. I've been working on the Babylon 5 station the past few weeks. :)

    I also mounted a mini- Viper coming in for a landing in the upper starboard landing pod on a little piece of clear fishing line.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Finally finished the Pegasus! Took me a little while to get back to it, but here it is. A little rough around the edges, but still so much fun to build.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Even with the pink lines, & my rough, amateur construction, these pics don' t do it justice. This is honestly a good looking model. & I mean that as a humble nod to the designer.

    These pink lines are making my eye twitch. Oh well.

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I haven't done much modeling in the past few days, but I managed to get the upper port-side flight pod put together on the Pegasus this evening.:)

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I'll check that out. I haven't been in a pawn shop in probably 20 years or so. But, thanks for the suggestion space agent-9. :)

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    Ok. Thanks Zathros, much less cluttery.:) I'm still figuring everything out, but hopefully my posts & pics will be much more streamlined in the days ahead. Also, I apologize for the poor picture quality. All I have right now to take pics with is my IPad mini, so the quality is not always the...

    Skyseeker, that is one awesome looking model! I love all the "greebling" you've done. The turrets look great! I especially like them at the 45 degree angle. Good quality pics too! chadepotts

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I've been working on the Battlestar Pegasus also. I wasn't going to post any pics of it, cuz my printer was getting low on ink when I printed the template, & it had some pink lines all through it. I took a gray marker to the really strong pink lines, & it actually turned out looking not half...

    The Building of the Galactic Fleet

    I like that suggestion, thanks Space Agent-9! My 10 year old daughter does a whole lot more crafts & projects than I do. She is extremely artistic, & that may be an understatement. A few weeks ago, I was looking for something clear to make a windshield for one of my models, & she suggested I...
