Hi All,
I will be starting a new build with the BSG-75 Galactica from Revell. I have to be honest, the new version never really interested me as much as the TOS version, but it tends to grow on you as time goes by. After working with the 4105 TOS Galactica so long, the first thing that popped into my head when I took the kit out of the box was "damn, this thing is small".
My build will show the Galactica as it is late in the series with all the battle damage and I am planing on doing it with the landing bays retracted. I have the photoetch kits for it and am trying to get my hands on the aftermarket cannons from admiralty models. I have not decided yet if I will get the Acreation decals for it or not. I will be adding alot of detail between the ribs so getting decals in there may cause more trouble than they are worth, that and the shipping/customs costs to Germany.
I did a YouTube video reviewing the kit and going into a bit of what I intend to do with it that you can check out here.
As with all my models I will be going for hyper-detail and also lighting it as extensively as I can, and there should be a couple surprises that will set it apart from all the other BSG75 builds out there, but more on that when the time is ripe.
This is a part-time project, so do not expect any updates soon... I will be busy for quite some time planing the electronics, cleaning her up and getting all the armor plates looking like they are attached to the hull instead of molded to it. On the up side, I have a new camera now, so no more fuzzy iPhone pics. I will be putting up some pics as soon as there is something to see.
Thanks for following.
