That looks about right given the comparisons of the cockpit but it also brings up the question of just how this thing would get down the launch tube. Given DeSanto's premise, that they were built in secret and then launched in a surprise move to counter the new Cylon threat, the launch tubes would have had to have been dismantled and rebuilt for each of these.
A nitpick to be sure but I think of these things. Very nice work on the model however. Sandy |

I'm liking that view! Kudos to Mark B for bending your ear about continuing the project. Hope Tom D gets to see a finished piece, I bet it'd knock him out of his socks! |

As for the model itself, I think you have the dimensions correct. My comment was more technical for the planned story and original design not on the work you're doing. Like I said, its a nitpick. Sandy |

Will be in touch in the evening. :salute: |
According to Roger Sides' article (he used to own a lot of the models and props) in Sci-Fi & Fantasy Models Magazine, the Cylon Rider model was 17 inches wide, 12 and a quarter inches long and 3 and a half inches deep, making it 1/35th scale.
Best, Peter |
Looking good, Mike!
I'm unavailable today or tomorrow to call, but I'll give you a ring on Friday if possible (whacky new scheduling). |
gun port placement
I'll start off by admitting that I know VERY little about designing a starship....BUT...I was thinking that having the gun ports so close to the cockpit would disrupt the pilots vision...I mean if the pilot is using the cockpit windows for any "line of sight" flying and shooting, that the muzzle flash would really mess him up.....just a thought....anyway.....LOVE the TOS Viper parked behind the "newer"version.....Great looking models....don't think that I'll be able to afford them...heavy bummer :salute:

I got to see this model today in it's nearly completed state - minus one of the wings that was still in-the-mold. Looks better than the last time I saw it on Saturday!
Decal art also looks good, too! :Nsmilie: Quote:
Just sayin' and not trying to start a feud. :salute: |

Got in about half an hour ago and have been skimming forums briefly.
Try Intergalactica Trading. I know I've seen them there in the past. Ooh! Found 'em! Here's the page I found them on. |

Nah, dude. I need to head to bed. Got an early morning to get up for. I'll give you a holler at some point in the morning after 9am, probably.

I haven't checked the video as it was a passing thought. Seeing the models side-by-side might give a better idea as well. The picture I was going off of is the one where the DS Viper was in the foreground and it seemed that overall it was slightly larger than the standard viper. If its just the top fin, that wouldn't be a hard change to make to the ship. I'm envious of your guy's talent. Sandy |
