All those vipers are cool but then again, they are all based on the original so that's why and Galactica still holds the record in cool looking fighters as far as I'm concerned.

Really nice, and handy when writing fanfiction! This is now my new wallpaper

It's only missing the Crimson Viper and The Second Coming Vipers

Thanks for the nice work, Warrior!

I have a low rez copy of the Crimson Viper by tigreclaws. But the quality of that model would not stand well against the quality of the models in that image.

Very cool image. What kind of fighter is the lower right one? Is it a MK 0 or what?
Are there any reference about "the missing" Vipers?

Yeah, I know, but it has no MK next to it. So is it a predecessor of the Mk I, or another version? If so what version, scout, bomber, interceptor...

to me, there's nothing like the "original" viper...but, it's cool to see them all together to compare.

If you mean the game's Scorpion Class, I *think* it's the games equavelant of the Mk VII.

These are very cool renderings. Can't wait to get started on the Cobra resin kit.

The concept fighter is the best looking they should have gone with that design. A great blending of organic and mech lines

I believe the Cobra class fighter is one of Warrior's own design. And it rocks. Nice lines. I like it better than the DeSanto Mk IV version.

Yup... still in love with the original. There's something sturdy about that design. Something that imparts a confidence about the machine. It looks powerful. Not just agressive, but seemingly able to really deliver a punch. My opinion is that the original is still the best design with the overall best balance of "speed" and funtionality.

Some of the other designs, most notably the "passed on" DeSanto MKVII and the New Series MKII look like they've been passed through some magical "anime" filter.

But the Viper is a inherently simple dart design. Part of the beauty is the simplicity. Aside from plop stuff on top of the existing lines or streamline the parts, there's not too much you can do to really freshen it up.

That's not taking away from anything we see here... obviously alot of folks put in alot of thought and work to create these designs. Good stuff overall.

Awesome. If the Cobra is Warrior's design, great job on it. Fits in really well, and looks nice as an older brother of the Viper.

I have to agree with Glider, too, the old Vipers did always fit my tastes more than the new Viper VII, because of the simplistic design. Makes more sense as a fighting craft. I mean... it's not like your ship has to be streamlined for it to fly in space, right?

Thanks, although I had in mind that the Cobra was of the same time as the OS Viper. It just ran on different ships than Battlestars.

I have a scarlett viper built by James Betteridge, and another viper built by Jim Brown.

I'll see if I can dig them up and render at that same angle, and you can add them to the chart.

They were used in "Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming."

Way cool!

I e-mailed ebay about it (stolen property) and e-mailed that jackass asking him who the hell said he could sell my art.

It's good to see all of the Vipers together. I never noticed exactly how different they were until now.
