Default Cylon Picture Request

Hi all.

I am putting together a revised edition of my earlier Colonial Warbook for the BSG rpg.

But getting Cylon pics has turned out to be extremely difficult. Can anyone provide schematics, or renders (top and side, any other shots icing) for the TOS era Cylon ships (Jim's AB I have, of course).

Speciifically the original Basestar and Raider.

I would like to see the others - Hadar, Canopus etc if available but these two basic types, I just can't find (or build myself - failed miserably).

If you have any homemade designs - float them as well, I may use them as well as the Cylons are well under-represented. I'd love to see that trefoil basestar design from the miniatures if anyones done that as well.

Heres hoping..

I have a basestar here: http://www.shipschematics.net/bsg/im..._cylon_mk1.jpg

... and the only standard Raider I have is a scan from one of Jackill's early books: http://www.shipschematics.net/bsg/im..._cylon_mk1.gif

Sorry the latter is so small...

Reaper:
The RPG is for the RDM or new version (although little stops it being used for TOS). But the game can be bought through RPGdownload I believe. I got mine from the local bookstore instead.

I even have a note on how (and why) 'lasers' work and are superior to Railguns in TOS.

Jim,

Thanks for that. It is cleaner & slightly bigger than the one I was using. I can see that the way to make a Tarturus attack star is simply to cut and paste the side sections, then.

I had another go at this one, which is a mini from Ravenstar. Its more of a TOS design but I liked the trefoil look of it.

I'd like to say thank you to those who responded.

There may be a few tweaks before I release it fully but I have now finished the revised Colonial Warbook II. I was a page out on my original so I added a few extra pages including a few points on using TOS weaponry under the RPG rules.

I might be tempted to do a smaller version in the future as a pure TOS version, once I've put more things together for it.

In the meantime, does anyone have a TOS cylon head as either a .lwo or .dxf? I want to mod a tank I have with an RDM cylon head on it to an earlier looking variety and I just can't get that head right!
