TOS Battlestar Galactica Model
Back in 2003 I started building the Galactica, but gave up due to lack of good quality reference photos and the insane level of detail the ship has on it's hull. Over the last couple years I have compiled quite a library of reference photos (about 750 MB worth) so I decided to restart the project. I scrapped almost everything I had built before and started over. My goal is to make the most accurate and most detailed 3D model ever made of this ship. (Giving Titon a little competition.) It will take me several years to complete as this is a hobby for me and I don't get as much time as I would like to spend on it. I work full time as an IT person, I am a science fiction author working on publishing my second book and of course I am a husband and a father. Here are some pictures of the ship so far. I am getting some weird shadows happening in the third pic - I think it's a bug in MAX - happens at certain angles.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if this thing took me 15 years as well. Something I've noticed is as I find better reference photos I find lots of little things to add and fix. I grabbed some of Michael's pics off Facebook the other day and immediately found about 10 things to fix and add to the little bit of detail on the rear landing bay cap. I feel like each piece will be rebuilt 3 times to make it accurate. He also pointed out that my bay arms were wrong - those are fixed now. :rolleyes: |

Either that or spend the $12,000 USD on the JAWS kit. I'm seriously considering buying a model and 3D scanning it to avoid building those little tank bodies from scratch. :) |
