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!! :D

[Darrell Lawrence]

:D :LOL: :rotf:

[TopGun]

That's cool thanks Man

[cranky1c]

This is most cool. Thank you.

How is this a "beef?"

[BST]

It could also be considered a "Neutral Zone".

:)

[Darrell Lawrence]

How is this a "beef?"

It''s a "beef" in as much as your post/comment has anything to do with the thread subject ;)

[AJMarks]

Pretty cool, I've always like the vipers. :salute: :thumbsup:

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.

:salute: :salute: :salute:

Still no update to the image? :rolleyes:
*taps fingers impatiently*

[Darrell Lawrence]

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 :LOL:

[TopGun]

Look forward to it

Cool Warrior! :salute:
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." :barf:

[Darrell Lawrence]

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 :D

[Fragmentary]

Man, you just keep digging that hole deeper don't you? I'll get my impatient finger tapping ready. ;)

[BRG]

Cool! Thanks Warrior. :salute:

The nuBG Viper MkII is sweet! :love: They all look stunning, but the nuBG MkII is BRG's fav. :viper2:

How about a Raptor?

[BRG]

The Raptor is a dog! :D
http://www.colonialfleets.com/darrell/raptor03.jpg

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,

Outstanding artwork! Very well done.

:thumbsup:

Regards,

Hi,

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

:wtf:

Regards,

Nathan

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!
Rigel :Nsalute: :bg04:

[TopGun]

Looking Good

[dec5]

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? ;)

Thwack!! you are EVIL!! give him a chance to breathe that makes 3 more for him to do !! ;)
Warrior I still love your cobra but the first time you posted this chart you didn't have the scorpion on it!!! Now you've gone and done it I love the look of the scorpion very sleek, the cobra is a close second :D Thanks for posting this again!!

[Darrell Lawrence]

:eek: Actually, there isn't a good CGI one available.

Nor is there a 6th Mil one available, so ya's just hastas wait til I does them :LOL:

Rowan, thanks. The two game ones were just recently added. I was hesitant to put them on there due to the angles and original image background colors, but finally said the heck with it ;)

[TopGun]

What does the Scarlet viper look like?

[repcisg]

Great job Warrior!

[Sci-Fi]

What does the Scarlet viper look like?

Can see a picture of Steve Parady's model here:
http://www.fluency.paintedtarget.org/bsg/futures/2ndcoming.html

Battlestar Galactica Fan Club (www.battlestarfanclub.com ) has more pictures of the model, but I can't seem to access the site right now.

Sci Fi -

Would this be what you're looking for?

I also found this on the CultTVMan modeling site:

Very cool stuff!

Best,
Bryan

[Darrell Lawrence]

I don't care for the all-red look.

That's not how Steve Paraday painted it, and that's not the color of it from The Second Coming ;)

[Darrell Lawrence]

Who is REALLY good at cutting out images?

http://www.galacticafanfic.com/images/viperd1.jpg

OR

http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss66/darkimmitator/My%20Version%20of%20a%20Scarlet%20Viper/DSC00741.jpg

What I need is the Viper cut out and on a white background.

[gmd3d]

I have a go later today.....I like this design myself

[gmd3d]

this is the best I can do at the moment

also I found this site might help

[Darrell Lawrence]

Excellent work, m'friend. I can now add it to the chart.
