This is where i got up to today, lots of pics taken to show how i got to this point. Will share my experience in running the fiber optics and wires, I made a few mistakes along the way and will let you guys know what to avoid.
I'll get back to everyones PM in the next day or so, if you want a kit and have not PM'd me yet feel free to, still making the last couple of molds, but I'm ready to start taking orders.

IIRC, the basestar is considerably larger than a battlestar. While there was probably some fudging during the compositing process, Pegasus' attack on a basestar made it look tiny by comparison. The TOS-style basestars in NuBSG were enormous as well. I suspect that a studio-scale replica of the basestar would probably be around the same relative scale as this half-studio-scale Galactica, and there actually quite a few of those already out there now.
Yep this is what i have figured as well, at least in the ball park.
What i would really like to get to in this scale would be some ragtag ships. It would be the same process of trying to get the proportions and size correct, with the understanding that the greeblies would be in the close enough/try my best to replicate arena again.
Lots of progress on my build and on the casting, been so busy with it, it has been hard to find time to post updates but will soon.

After having received a large number of fantastic kits and 2 amazing build ups from Mike, I just can second that statement !

Hey Mike is that an F-14 in the back ground. It is our favorite ship.
I'm all for humility, but just once I want to see Mike gloat a bit. C'mon dude, I know you've got a 'DAMN I'M GOOD' in you somewhere! :lol

Nope, that's Mike's 1/24 VF-1 Valkyrie from Macross. Design is inspired by the F-14 though.
All I know is I have my payment sent and can't wait to get this bad boy.
Can't wait to see more of your build as well Mike! Very Inspiring.

I'm sure this kit would be a bargain compared to some Japanese kits. I Sean a few in the $5k range for something tiny, looked amazing though.
Kit looks great an beautiful work as always
