I took some time yesterday and went through the parts.
I couldnt believe what I had on my hands, so much resin in one kit, so many big parts and so well casted as expected from Mike. After seeing all this that I am getting in one kit at this price, I felt like I was cheating on the seller, really!
Mike thank you very much for this, and when you have some time, please let us know where the small parts go?:confused

Just sent Mike payment for my Galactica! Can't wait till it arrives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey everyone, so i think i just got back to everyone, but of course my box was full again, just deleted a bunch of messages so if you tried to get to me, or get back to me, and did not get a response, please try again.
So right now i am going to say I am getting ready to wrap up on taking orders soon, if you have been in touch with me, or even PM'd me, your fine and will be able to take care of those orders. Anything past this weekend, and i will likely halt kits until springtime, it's getting cold out in the shop, and while i will still be casting some stuff thru the winter, I am going to try to cast just a few days a week.
It's a matter of how long it takes to heat the shop up, if i only have 3 or 4 hrs to work because of my schedule with the kids or something, it's just time better served finishing my galactica, finishing new patterns etc. Plus it's expensive in heat to do all that for just a few hours of work, so i plan on sticking to days i know i have 8 or 9 hours of real time.
thanks

Thanks for the update,Mike! Fully understand what you mean and am just happy to be in line to get one!
Couple of questions Mike. The title of this thread is TOS Battlestar Galactica scratchbuild #2. #2? What was #1? Any more build pictures of your personal kit? I'm saving your "build" pictures for reference. What size gas pipe are you using as a mount? Is that the recommended mounting method? Recommended size for FO? And last, 'bout how much does it weigh? Looking forward to more. I know your busy casting like crazy though!
Has anyone started a build yet?

I have been documenting my build pretty well and will cover most of this real soon. I have a stretch of 4 or 5 days right now that are pretty mild by Dec standards so i am going to cast as much as i can for a few days. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow if i can find some downtime.
thanks
