Thanks Ernie ...... I am still hoping that the Celestra will be usable in the FAN films.. This model won't be as detailed .

Baltar's cell awaits him.

Looks great so far. I like it that you're modeling ships that don't get done as often.

Rotate the uboats so there tilted down at about 30-35 degrees. Keep them where there attached, just rotate them down slightly.

They weren't straight out like that.
