Standing on it's base. I utilized some box art to liven up the flat black base. I really don't like Moebius' clear plastic bases. They have a map of 'our' earth molded into them. Maybe a bit 'ok' for the Colonial ships, but, not good for the Cylons, this, painted the base and left the post clear. This one'll be the MONEY SHOT Wayne:

Here's the base. The Moebius logo was inserted to cover up a bit of the ship art the spilled over onto the BSG title:

Here's his butt:

Why thank you Gam, your 'geek' is strong!!! 

Lol, I was thinking either I have way too much free time on my hands or a developing case of Aspberger's Syndrome...

On a more serious note... WOW the Raider looks fantastic!!! As I said it's kinda hard to make something all grey and black 'interesting' but she came out great! And good idea on the base... does seem funny they'd use an Earth base since the Colonials had no idea what Earth even looks like outside of legends! The replacement base suits the Raider.

Dang, if only I had the room I'd have to pick one up myself.

i would love to get the other viper kits the new raider.  They are big kits when finished and room is very limited in an apartment.  Have to see how much room I have, that raider needs a shelf all of it's own

Geez, this Raider is taking up almost my whole coffee table right now!!

Might be big but it looks awesome!

sweet build. will post on tuesday. i will study this when i do my single color T-2 stuff.

Hello, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring with a 1:48 scale X-Wing, out of the box, with maybe some scratch-built cockpit detail. Box art to follow.

i'll get you in the queue on tuesday too.

Beautiful Cylon Rob!

I made a little progress today.

Sanding, sanding, sanding....

Now the fun begins!

The Raider looks great Rob. When I build mine I'm thinking about hanging it from a wall almost like a picture as it will just take up wall space that way and be less likely to get completely covered in dust!

You know Phil, THAT is exactly what I`m going to do with mine!! Thanks for that. Duh...I have planes flat on my wall like that and I can`t believe I haven`t thought of this....Thanks!!

Beautiful Cylon Rob!

I made a little progress today.

Thanks!! How many Phasers are you going to do?

One phaser for now, I always make extra parts because I tend to make mistakes.

I've cleaned up the shells, cut backing/bracing, and glued them to the shells.

I'm off to work so I won't make much more progress foe a few days.

Solid resin? looks like they will have `life-like` weight to them.

or a big shadow box on the wall to keep the dust off.

Just for fun, here's both 1/32 adversaries just to show just how big this ship is compared to the Viper:

The chase:

And, Goliath looming over David....Thanks for lookin':

Rob,

No they are vac formed over resin masters.

Nice job on the Viper. I ordered one from Squadron, It should be here soon.

Wow Rob, that does drive home the size difference!

Mach71: Yeap, that's a lot of sanding. Looks like the one on the bottom there is almost ready to cemented together, puttied, sanded, and painted.

I'm getting close. I have to clean up the sheet styrene backing, then it's on to putty time.

I still have to figure out what I'm doing with the nozzle and the other bits.

Hi Everyone,

   A lot of nice work going on here. That raider is great, with it being that big no wonder why the colonials had such a good kill ratio.

Wayne, I was wondering if I could get in on the fun. I have the colonial BS Valkyrie from BamBam productions, no box so no art. Its in 1/4105 scale. Also I might throw in a 1/72 scale Hailfire droid from Star Wars episode II. These are both resin kits so I think they should go together pretty quick. Details will be in the painting.

NucMedTech...that Valkyrie will be awesome. How long, in earth inches, is a BS in 1:4105 scale?

I found some time today and made a bit of progress.

I glued the 1/2's together.

And things didn't line up as well as I thought.

So break out the bondo.

The 1st application:

Rob,

    I think it will be about 6 or 7 inches in length. It's supposed to be in scale with the Moebius Galactica. I'm on vaca. starting this Sat. for two weeks, so I don't plan to start until August. I will try to get the box art images in before I go.

Awesome...lookin' forward to that!

Looks great !!

Gives it a great sense of scale

Mach71...keep up the good work on that phaser!!
