BSG Studio Scale Lighted Viper Mk 2

[S. Holmes]

Hello one and all,
I have been a poster on a few threads here. Thought I would finally share my latest build with everyone.
This is the Studio Scale FM SciFi Models BSG Viper Mk 2 the "Apollo" version..... which has extra clear cast parts for lighting.:wacko
This is beening built for a friend that liked my personal Mk 2 "Starbuck" version and wanted me to build his with lighting.
So here goes.....:unsure

Comments are welcome.

I have been working feverishly on the cockpit it's self. Painting detailing and trying to get the lighting from the LEDs to only go to where I want it to.

I do just love seeing people's work and Gil that cockpit looks incredible! I really envy you guys who can pull off the lighting, every time I mess around I'm scared I'm going to get the thing together and my lights won't light or something! Gorgeous work!

Up next.... the dial faces and monitors are added from the decal sheet.

The upper monitor was a puzzle to me because the light did not get up there like I thought it would.:confused

I fixed it and now am happy with the cockpit.:rolleyes

So here are the final pics of the cockpit before going into the fuselage.

The clear head is a nice touch too - was that a special request?

Why.... yes, yes it was moffeaton....:rolleyes

I just thought it would transfer light better for lighting the helmet.
I'm starting on painting the pilot today. Let's all keep our fingures crossed..:unsure

Thank you FLUKE,..... (is it you or Moffeaton that has posted the build-up??)
I've been looking at the build up of the Raptor...... I am hoping to get one of those myself. :love

With this build up of the "Apollo" version of the Mk 2 not for me....:cry... and the lighting turning out better then I thought it would.... I am now wanting to get one of these for myself as well.
I have done a "Starbuck" version for myself.... but now I want a lighted one too....:unsure
Here's a couple of pics of my "Starbuck" version Mk 2...

That looks fraking awesome!

I see that you fabbed up the "fake gas cap" rescue point on the left side. They actually put that on both sides after the mini-series from the circle slot graphic. Very nice touch :thumbsup

 

[S. Holmes]

Thanks motivealloy....
Here are some pics of the Pilot Figure about half way thru painting.....
