I'm going to seriously have to sit down and decide how I want the base to look!

Just for fun,

"Galactica, this is Raptor 04 on approach,"

"Roger that Raptor 04, call the ball"

-if anyone is photoshop inclined, feel free to add in a star field!

Well now, time for an update!

The weathering is finished, and I found a brass tube that was the perfect size for the DIN plug I'm using.

Even though the plug is CA'd into the tube, I added a small screw just in case the glue lets go.

Here's an overall shot:

closeup of outer space owie:

the final look of my guns, a combination of the kit guns filed down and the PGMS brass glued on top

For some reason, I really like this angle,

I'm very happy with how the lighting came out! cool white LEDS in the engines (clear parts with blue tint) and warm white for the flightpods. You can also see the red garage light.

Antennas! the main "spike" is a piece of stretched sprue, the lower spike is a micro pin connector and the rest are fiber optic strands, that way they will bend when bumped and not break

Just curious how big ( length in inches) is the 1/4105? I just bought a TOS Galactica from 1978 that is 17.5in but I don't know what scale that would be. I'm hoping to get the new BG at 17.5 as well.
