Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Battlestar 3D
 

It has been a long time since I last posted any model work, so.....:colonial:

This is my version of Ralph McQuarrie's concept Battlestar Galactica, detailing was inspired by the physical model from the show, and this is the third time I have had a go at building it, it is 99% finished.
Dimensions
Length 9142'4" ft / 2786.6 m
Height 1210'6" ft / 368.9m
around 109 decks (not that it has 109 decks but could stack up that if you removed the engines
Width 4296'9" ft / 1309.6m

I have returned to this design and reworked key parts to make it look more like the Movie/TV Galactica, Engines and Forward section.

thanks,, it's taken long enough :)
none the less I have finally gotten BSG designs out of my todo list.
of course, I have given them my own stamp. :salute:

Re: Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Battlestar 3D
 

Well my list never ends and I've never gotten them out of my system but I continue on.
