Battlestar Galactica models
Well, I don't know if it's art, but it is creative... I think this is the place to post it, so here goes...
I'm a member of the forums and a frequent visitor over at www.starshipmodeler.com . We're a bunch of folks who like to build science fiction models, primarily, although most of us build all sorts of things from real space subjects to Gundam kits. Quite a few of us have built the Revell Monogram Battlestar Galactica kits (some of them are scratch building studio scale battlestars!!), and you guys can check them out over in the galleries there. Some of us have been discussing Galactica lately, so I've talked up CF and Cylon.org - maybe some of them will drop in and show off some of their work.
Anyway, here are some shots of my Colonial Viper kit: http://www.printroom.com/ViewAlbum.a...lbum_id=115253
It's not perfect, but the next one will be! This kit was modified by removing all of the raised panel lines and then scribing all of them back into the plastic. Guns were modified to more closely match the "real" ones, an aftermarket resin cockpit and pilot set was added, and the detail panel between the thruster exhausts was moved outward to its proper position. All markings were painted on - no decals were used. Weathering was done using ground up pastel chalk.
I hope you like it!

Wow, thanks! I've never been asked that question before :o
I'm very flattered but I'm afraid I couldn't part with it for so many reasons, not the least being embarrassment. There is so much that is wrong with this particular effort that you can't see until you are inspecting it closely.
If you (or anyone) would like to have a Viper kit built, I can probably put you in touch with a general list of modelers who build for sale and/or a specific group of Viper builders who have their work posted online (who may or may not entertain offers).
Thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
Mark
