Battlestar Galactica 2003 scratch build

[gt350pony66]

Starboard side fight pod supports are coming together. Lot quicker and easier duplicating something I’ve already figured out how to do lol

 

[Larsen]

Also did some mock-up of the guns on the belly and the gator. Let me know if something doesn’t look right

Well I appreciate that my friend, but perfect it is not but it’ll be good enough for who it’s for. I’m sure I’ll do better next winter when I try to build the Pegasus lol

You're mad...

But I'm in non the less...


I'd love to see you tackle the org Galactica at some point.

That looks so good. Your panel lines look crisp.

I have to admit I’m not such a huge fan of the original Galactica however that ship does have a bunch of flat surfaces so it would be relatively easy one would think, just incredibly time-consuming consuming

Or maybe do your own version of a Battlestar...

Maybe base it on this one:

Huh, that does look pretty cool

Nice to hear it is a bit easier doing the other side

Less trial and error I guess

Oh hell yeah, it’ll certainly make doing the other flight pod tons easier. I spent weeks working that out

Mock up check

 

[bwize]

Absolutely stunning! This looks so amazing. I'll say it again, I wish you were making this for me, lol.

 

[Larsen]

Wow...

That is just amazing!

Respect man, I don't know how you do it.

Well thanks dude, I appreciate the sentiment. I roughly figure I have just around 500 hours in it so far…and it’s probably gonna be another 6 weeks or so. The average is 10 hours per weekend give or take and 1 to 2 hours per week night.
Yes, I’ve quite lost my mind

Starboard lower engine almost finished

Dude... That is totally understandable, don't be so hard on your self, other people will do that for you, all on their own.

Look at it this way, you're not burned out!... You just really really, need a break.

Anyone would!

Thanks dude, just feeling obligated to finish it now cause once I get my car back from the paint shop I’ll be in the garage all the time. I’ve been working on this sob since early October! Argh

I understand... But you're not obligated to anyone but your self. So what if this sits on the shelf for a couple of weeks or even months?!...

All you get from pushing it is sloppy results.

I'm working correcting the mpc Millennium falcon... And when feel like it, or rather... Don't feel like it! I'll put it on the shelf for as long as it takes me to get my mojo back.

I’ve done extensive work on the mpc Falcons in the past, mostly with Tony 308 bits parts from Shapeways. It can get expensive. Anything I could make molds and duplicate, I did. Whenever I’d see the Falcons on eBay cheap I’d buy them. I still have like 4. Let me know if if you need any parts or mpc kits

This is the last surviving picture of a cut away I did years ago. I gave to a friends autistic kid, he was really into SW
