Re: My finished landing bay diorama
Very interesting. I really like the oil stain and how the landing gear has tracked oil further away. I like those kinds of details a lot. The baked on shadow is also a cool detail.

LOL, my Wife saw it & asked if I spilled something on it   !
I really like it, but somehow it isn't as grand as I'd imagined. But I *LOVE* how good my Viper came out!!!

Re: My finished landing bay diorama
That is really nice!!!! Forced perspective landing bay is a great idea. That is a really creative and artistic approach. Bravo! And the Viper is gorgeous. Something about a Viper on the landing gears that always looks so cool to me.

It was just so well designed IMO- wheels for hard & skids for soft...

Thanks Titon!
I am particularly happy with how the landing gear appears to be part of the model when it's on them.

Thanks Borjis, and welcome to the Fleet!  This is one of only two places I frequent (the other being Fireflyfans), and the peeps here are SO cool. Have you seen the Gallery? Creativity is absolutely RAMPANT here!

Re: My finished landing bay diorama
yeah, after re-watching my BSG dvd set over the weekend I decided it was time to get back over here.
Fun stuff!
Apolloisall is that viper model a "Series 2 Blue Squad Colonial Viper" released a few years ago? |

It had the decals to make it a Silver Spar if you wanted, but the box just says "30th Anniversary Colonial Viper."
Hey- an online gallery just published my Viper & stuff today!!

Re: My finished landing bay diorama
Really nice work. I love the landing bay and the shot of the viper that makes it look like it's flying away from you. I wanted to ride along.
