Now that i finished my battle damaged version i wanted to do a pristine version viper and i chose the pristine viper that starbuck came back in in season 4. There will be no fancy add on on this one except for a few small things that I'm doing to spice it up. At the moment those are adding boxes around the landing gear {Thanks for the idea Ryogal -over on SSM}and making my own gun ends with hole to make it look more realistic. here's some progress shots.

Thanks for the screen shots I know about the number but not sure if any one makes it for this model not quite sure what I'm doing there yet.

I have the same problem since I want to do mine as custom ships.
It would be nice if someone knew where to get the font.

I believe he has a back log of orders and won't be taking any for a while.

If I had the font I could make my own.

Well i worked on it a little bit today, Finished modifying the guns and did some work in the thrusters to make it look a little more accurate .But now I'm to the point where the paint has to dry good before i can do any thing else.

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

Just about got all the painting done, a little touch up here and there. Finished the piping on the top engines and I glued the wings on and put on my modified guns and got the landing gear done.

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

After seeing the pictures that i posted yesterday i decided that i needed to take the paint off the lower engine piping opening, i think it looks a lot better here's some shots of it. ( and yes the piping is made out of brass tubing stock)-Thanks Bar
