BSG Viper Launch Tube. A few new pictures

[Shadowknight]

I wanted to share pictures of my finished Viper Launch Tube. I bought this as a kit, modified it, and added lights.

With my Viper from the Resin Illuminati group build:

And with my newly finished MK2 Viper:

And here's a neat action shot that DBHS photoshopped for me:

I love it Tj,
I think the FM Viper II was the first SS that caught my eyes on the SS forum .. I never bought it at the time .. but still look at it wondering if I should!

I love the lights too .. they're really giving the final touch to your piece. :thumbsup

Thanks guys! That Mark 2 is the Moebius Kit. I am building an F & M one right now. I really like the design of that ship.

I also also closed off the areas where you can see the under glow of a white light with styrene. Just in case you wanted to light it up too.
