My Galactica is ordered..payment sent...getting happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Robiwon]

I sent Tony my files for the Salzo engine mesh. He made the walls a bit thinner, which should look better than the sets I sold a while ago. These are now up on Shapeways for anyone interested. I ordered my set last night and should be here by the end of next week.

Yep, you will be impressed, this model is well worth every cent and well worth the wait, I am about to make some ebay buys to get some of the parts Ive been waiting on to be getting close to being a complete model, which I am taking my sweet time on cause this build has been a super build and I'm going to have to have therapy for withdrawals from being done. Man I haven't thought about that .........Therapist!!!!!!!! hehehehehe Thanks..................Jim

 

[DMC FLORIDA]

Has anyone put a list together of upgrade bits to buy?

That would be helpful so one would know they have everything to begin...

Fiber optics and engine lights too :-}

 

[Robiwon]

Here you go.

I've been impressed with all his stuff...I still want to get his big viper too... still waiting to hear back if mine got shipped yet...looking forward to playing with you guys in here! Also going to make my own small vipers and shuttles to go with this for sure!

 

[Robiwon]

Here they are!

 

[Robiwon]

Here's how it looks behind the engine panel.

 

[Tordoc]

I need some opinions.
I'm making Vipers for my landing bay, and before I spend half my life making a squadron I'd like to know what you guys think about the scale of my prototype.
It's just rough for now:

Look very small me thinks.
But you wont be able to see much from the interior when you close the bay anyway.

 

[Robiwon]

Tony added this blown up version of my pic to the SW site. Look how sharp this mesh is!!!

 

[Tordoc]

I was worried they looked too big. They just barely fit in the launch tubes. The interior will be lit.... and hopefully vary visible. :0

 

[kermet]

Robiwon, those look nice. Tordoc yep they look good I made the mistake of making a half dozen before I saw mine were a hair to big so I scaled them down now they are nice. so the big ones I made into a cluster like the four flying in formation on the tv show. which gave me a small display to shelf. I made mine out of tooth picks and very thin flat plastic sheet. Robiwon, you saving up for Wonderfest it is getting close.can't wait...............Thanks ..Jim
