This Moebius Models Battlestar Galactica, 1/4105 scale kit was previous built out of the box. I was looking for a new challenge, so I decided to take it apart and do a complete rebuild.
This scale model build of the Re-Imagined Battlestar Galactica, from the 2004 mini-series will be built with a high degree of accuracy.
The 'step' where the 'gator head' meets the rest of the ship will be removed.
The hull will be highly detailed. This will be achieved through proper paint work as well as a decal set that will simulate the armour plating and the detail between the 'ribs'
The ship will be fully lit using fiber optic strands for the windows, and LED light for the engines, flight pods, etc.
The addition of a brass photo-etch set, by Paragrafix Modeling Systems, will address the inaccurate gun turrets. This will also add the internal ribs of the flight pods, as well ass the window frames for the starboard flight pod/museum.
Old and New (New and Old?)
Acreation Decal test. Not great, but not the worst I've received.
Lower Hull Window Fiber Optics.
LOts of Window ports to be drilled out.
Laying down the first fibers.
...So many fibers.
Keeping it as neat as possible.
It was a ton of work...but totally worth it.
