Re: Battlestar Galactica build - studio scale

After being away for three months I was finally able to jump back on this project a couple of weeks ago. I decided to tackle the head and neck underside as I felt this was the most heavily detailed portion of the model and wanted to get it out of the way while I was still full of energy after my long holiday.
I put on some 70's music to help myself channel the mojo of the original builders of this beast and tore into a bunch of vintage model kits on a full bore detailing binge and didn't stop till those whole sections were done.

Amazing work! I can only imagine the presence this piece commands in person...truly amazing.

Love the pre and post primer shots. Can't wait to see the rest of the ship built out!

Oh come on, that is just not humanly possible to build an amazing replica like this!!. Yet here it is, the attention to detail and the quality are just astounding not to mention the cost, ouch!. You must be very proud of the build mate as you should be, it is truly awe inspiring.
I love this thread, keep it coming!

Beautiful work, Jim.

I put on some 70's music to help myself channel the mojo of the original builders of this beast

According to Pat McClung, model shop chief Grant McCune forced everyone listen to Patsy Cline until their ears bled.

Mojo-wise you'll also want to stock up on blow.

After waiting for ever for some needed kits to arrive, I was able to finish some more of the underside. I also found a nice vintage beer bottle cap to tuck up under that rail gun part.
