"Studio Scale" BSG Assault Raptor

[gopherslayer]

I hope to start posting info on that soon. Some of the parts are in rubber now. At least 1 version will be available BEFORE Wonderfest. Maybe all 3. Just depends on how much each change.


Jason, I'm working on a idea for the 32 scale pilots that may work for you as well. I'll tell you more when I'm further along.

Can't wait to see them. Any chance of 'sneak peek' pics of the prototype parts?

When it rains it pours! 2013 is going to be a bonanza. Look at what our talented fellow members can do!

 

[gopherslayer]

Beautiful!

 

[timeslip]

WOW!! I so want one. :love

 

[Talisen]

Just when we'd give up all hope...

 

[Devin]

It's not the assault version but check with Mike on the off chance he still has one available. I picked mine up in 2006 with the rest of the guys here. Just been too afraid to touch it. Think I'll take it off the shelf and look at it again for a while!

I'm building three initially. Regular "Recon", Assault, and Medical. Lit out the wazoo

Wings are engineered to be lit - hollow halves. A talented member here broke down the files for me

 

[EvanW]

That'll save a ton of work in trenching. Extra space too for the circuit board.

 

[moffeaton]

Oh yeah!

 

[Watson]

Damn that looks great J

 

[Gans]

are you still working on this? i am building a 1/10 scale Raptor so i can fit by DST action figures in it.

 

[moffeaton]

I am waiting for George Tackas to send the castings that are apparently almost ready? I have no idea where it is right now... just waiting.

did you build the 3d model? I am still working on my interior, the pic is of a test run I did for scaling.

 

[moffeaton]

No, the model is from the studio files. I paid to have them made watertight, and then it was grown....

ah i see. It look dam good, I was looking for some pointers on the pilot section. I have been looking for the studio schematics for years but never found them so I had to work from screencaps. the one i am building will be at 1/10 scale.
