Default The Helix

Taking a break from the Galactica i punched out this little nugget. It was in one of the post's by Peter Noble concerning a concept design for BSG season 4. This ship absolutely fit's into the TOS universe. Here's renders of the ship as i have it presently plus the concept image that Peter posted. I tried connecting to the blog spot where it originated but i can't connect at the moment. As you can see i took some artistic license with the ship since i really didn't care for the "3" individual tanks running up and down. Didn't make much sense to me. I also added some of my stuff to the design.

More modeling to go but i'm almost there. Just need to add some sort of clamp system for the tanks and some nurnies. I'll be adding detail kit parts here and there from the other Galactica ships i've done. Kind of a kitbash in it's own.

Very nice indeed.

From the back end it looks like some weird ass gun.

If you don't finish this I will just add it to THE LIST!

This is a ship? As Peter said, it does look like a gun of some type.

At any rate, as per usual, your work is superb.

Excellent work Titon. But it kinda reminds me of a giant Super-Soaker...sorry.
