    Jul 31, 2012 - Another Antique Viper #1

    Hello everyone,
    Here's my build up of the awesome Salzo kit. This is such a cool design from the original show episode "The Long Patrol", and after some of the recent posts about this model, I had to get mine together. It's one of those rare SS kits that go together very well, and very quickly. Turned this one out over 2 weekends, and has joined the rest of the BSG SS fleet. I dirtied it up to resemble the filming miniature using some oils and pastels. Only scratch addition was the engine inserts. I closed up the cockpit since I didn't have an interior (plus I think the black looks cool).

    For a bit of history on this kit (and Mike's gorgeous build up), you can check this out.

    Thanks,
    -Sean

    But I thought the turret was already kitted?! Okay, so you have to buy about 20 kits to get all the parts for it, but then assembly should be relatively easy.

    Really nice build Sean! I like your addition of the little details inside the engines.

    I'm always glad to hear feedback that the kit went together well; trying to anticipate how the 'end user' will build and paint the final model is one of the hardest parts of building the proto pieces.

    Thanks Sean; The real Kudos goes to Jesse for goading me into the project and Mike for the excellent (as usual) molding and casting and additional clean up on the protos.
