Battlestar Triton

[James Tiberius]

The Battlestar Triton is done!

I've had a great time turning this model into something I'm very proud of. It was a learning experience. I got this model already built by someone else who had painted it flat white 30 years ago and had used a yellow highlighter to make windows.

I stripped all the paint and cut out the middle section and added greeble after greeble to make something a little better than the stock kit. This was also my first time using a black wash so if its on a little thick its supposed to look worse for wear than the Galactica which ended supposedly all happy in Galactica 80.

Anyway, enough rambling and here are some pictures of the final product!

That looks great! I've always wanted to see one that had been painted with a wash job, it seems that due to the scale of this beast nobody ever uses that technique. I think it looks awesome and I really like the Battlestar logo on it's back. Great job!

That's fantastic looking! I still think we deserve nice, big kits of these ships say around the 40 inch mark.....
