Battlestar Galactica 1978

Just a note as well... I'll be adding John Lomax's "Scorpion" Viper from the BG Game to the chart later too, as well as that other Viper from the game.

Dude,
I'm so glad you posted this. I thought about this picture a few weeks ago but I couldn't remember who posted it. And the reason I thought of it was that I wanted whoever did it to add the Video Gamce viper to the line up. And look, here you are reading my mind.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

It could also be considered a "Neutral Zone".

Look closely, boys and girls. Warrior’s TOS Mk II is the closest I’ve ever seen to a TOS shooting miniature. There are some differences, but most are so minor that they are insignificant. And what makes me dance the Muffit happy dance is that the forward fuselage (the part that most folks get completely wrong) is damn near perfect.

Patience, young man

Fact is, the other Vipers that I'll be adding have a black background whereas my main image has white.

You, as an artist, know it takes time to work them edges of an item in an image when layering it onto another...

In other words, I haven't gotten to it just yet

Cool Warrior!
Now, when I'm falling down drunk and get run off the road by a Viper buzzing the top of my car, I can just point to the picture of which one it was.

"That one, occifer. *hic* I swear."

Crud.... if that's the usage for it, then I better add the 6th Millenium Viper from "The Long Patrol" and the two-seater from G-80

Cool! Thanks Warrior.

The nuBG Viper MkII is sweet! They all look stunning, but the nuBG MkII is BRG's fav.

The Raptor is a dog!


It is butt-ugly! Looks like a ex-Soviet helecopter without the rotar blades, and that metalic felgercarb-brown paint job just sets it off perfectly!

like the B-52, it may be great at what it does, but it aint going to win any prizes for looks.

I dunno, I thought the Raptor models on the war planning board were cute (in a shar-pei sorta way).

Maybe it's a browser setting preventing it but I don't see an image of the chart to click on in either Firefox or IE. Can you post the link? I'm dying to look at this info.

Thanks!

If you can see that Raptor image, then you *should* be able to see the smaller Comparison charts.

They're from the same place, link wise.

Just click on the Comparison chart image for the larger version.

And if you *really* can't see it, then do a quote command on my post, and you will see the direct URL there.

Hi,

It *is*, if I remember correctly. The top of the Raptor is an actual rotor assembly, minus the rotor blades.

Hmmm. Interesting...and a very cool chart. My system sometimes won't load .JPEGs. They just appear as red X's. I think it's part of one of the protective measures on my system I had to install to overcome a consistent browser highjack. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it yet.

Thanks!

I think the object on top of the raptor is supposed to be it's main long ranged
sensor.....kinda like the ones on top of our own radar and electronic jamming
aircraft.

You know Warrior, it might hurt Richard Hatch's feelings to not have his Scarlet viper on your comparison chart. You wouldn't want that would you?
