Default My Cylon Raider

Didn't have quite as much time on my hands this past week as I did over the holidays, so it took me a bit more time to finish my Cylon Raider. Also, this one is definitely not quite as good as I'd liked....but I still think it turned out quite well for my purposes.
So, to showcase the Raider, I decided to do a ship size comparison between it and my Colonial Viper. I scaled the ships proportionately to the characters. I scaled the Viper to a typical human height, and figured that Cylon Centurions are about 7 or 8 feet tall, thus scaling the Raider to the Centurion. This makes for a much bigger ship in my opinion. It dwarfs the Viper.
Looking at the Raider now, I think I can rescale some components, and make it a touch more accurate.

Anyhoo, here are some current ship size comparisons:

And because I'm so nice, I even threw in a little video to show character to ship size comparisons:

In just a matter of minutes, I was able to resize certain elements of the Raider to make it more proportionally accurate. Now it's not quite so ginormous compared to the Viper...still slightly larger, but not as big as, say, the AB Raider from Galactica 1980.
Also notice Starbuck's improved Viper helmet? (Something I forgot to use in the last batch o' pics). I'll be making other improvements to props and Colonial Warrior outfits soon.
