I remember one interesting view of Alpha landing bay in a 3D partial cutaway. The Bridge shots were very detailed. Amazing stuff. I was so disappointed when the project was canceled.

I do not model (yet...thought about getting into it) and I am not a writer, but I would be interested to contribute to this project in some way, shape or form. I'm not sure how much help I could be, but if you need to "bounce" any ideas around or get my opinion about something, please feel free to call on me.

I've always wondered what was inside the "Big G" (size, compliment, armament, etc) and the organization of the Colonies for that matter. I've had some ideas about all that over the years and would be willing to discuss things if you'd like. I would be at your disposal (so to speak...).
I hope this offer helps you in some way.
Best to you my friend.

Yes thanks .....

these are questions I would like to address .......

Scale
Crew complement
how are the colonies arranged.

where all the weapons of the Galactica are located

where are the shuttle stored

where is the food stored

what is the duration of a standard voyage of a battlestar.

there are lots

this is where we as a fan base can address these questions
and hopefully create an expanded universe for it.

for example

the Viper Complement of a Battlestar

we have read and heard that it 75 viper

OK that's fine ,.... but using the 6080 scale of the Galactica
I would put 75 vipers in each launch bay bring it up to 150 vipers

the Cylon Basestar has 300 Raiders ..... so a battlestar been half the size should have half the fighter complement too
