I just got that beast added to the stash and you know it will have to be lighted! It will be easy with the size of it

Phil

that thing is big enough to not only light but have some cylon figures with their lit visors, or am in talking about the wrong cylons.

Yes, they should be lit up. As far as I know all Cylons had glowing red eyes except the humanform ones in Galactica 1980 and Galactica 2004.

Wow Rob, I'd just assumed the new Raider was the same scale as the old Monogram kit. It did carry a crew of three Centurions so yeah I guess it would be somewhat bigger than the Viper.

So, for all you BSG fans, check out the SIZE of the new Moebius Cylon Raider!!! Pictured below is the original Revell kit, the MONSTER in the middle and the Moebius Colonial Viper beside. This ship is 1/32 scale!! Finally a model company realized the sheer size of these ships. Heck, the pilots sit side by side, so, it stands to reason, this ship would have been huge:

Added this pic for fun. Here's the original Mattel toy Raider with the Revell version then the monster Moebius:

Yes, Gents, that IS an 18" ruler under the ship!!!

Nice!  I've got one of these in my stash.  I also have one of the AMT/ERTL Falcons in the stash, too.  I'm gonna use the AMT Falcon to practice the painting and weathering before I build my expensive Fine Molds Falcon.

Looking forward to seeing yours!

Wayne: Lol, I was joking there! Still I might put Sub ylH HoHwI'mey on the base! The only markings I've ever seen on the D-7 is the insignia and the TCS (how it looks to me in English) above the engine nacelles.

Senormodeler: Welcome aboard! And that's a beautiful kit, never built one myself but the ones I've seen at shows were amazing!  

welcome to all the newcomers.

SENOR MODELER; not to worry this is my first host which i am now doing simultaneously with BRAILLE SCALE.

I've never done a group build before, but I'd like to. Please count me in! Gonna build the fine molds falcon. I know it's been done a hundred times, but I've never done one. So here goes.

Wayne: Very cool!

My kit is almost assembled, some sloppy seams that require a bunch of putty but otherwise a nicely engineered kit. Now I need a translation for 'FEARLESS SLAYER OF TRIBBLES'...

 

closest i could come to the klingon  transliterated into from english  is BRAVE TRIBBLE KILLERS or

Sub ylH HoHwI'mey.

as soon as i find a decent klingon alphabet graphic i can download, i will have have the klingon characters. then it's creating a single .jpg for each character. after that cut and past into klingon.  will take a few days unless someone has already created a .jpg alphabet of good graphic quality.

Wayne: Very cool!

Not sure the Klingons would have a Coast Guard- I figure they'd be more like 'you got yourself in this mess, get yourself out- or die...' Stick out tongue

Still the movie version Stikpusher is building was in both Enterprise and Deep Space Nine so you've got a service life of 200 or so years! Indifferent No problem of assuming that maybe the TV version was around for a pretty long time and used in a plethora of different roles!

You might have to twist my arm, but I could jump on in with a BSG Viper II, in a custom scheme, of course.

Although, I've got to clear my bench first.

Big congrads on snagging the Aliens APC Kafziel! I guy in our club built one, it was a kinda crude kit but built up into a beautiful replica. I think his biggest problem with the kit was yes- just getting ahold of it!

Wayne,  I'd like to join in on this GB if that is ok.  I'll try my hand at the Moebius Battlestar Galactica kit.

I have some aftermarket PE and decals for the kit, and I plan to try lighting some of the kit.

I'll have to keep my eyes out for those kits, thanks for brining them back to my attention, and I will be interested to see how yours builds up.

I think it's from '87. They usually go for upwards of $100 but I got a great deal so I had to go for it. Definitely going to take my time on this one.

When were they released. I seem to recall seeing some kits of these many years ago, but I never got round to getting any. The dropship is another one I wanted but never got.

Damn, I have wanted one of these ever since I first saw the movie. Well, at least now I know what to look for.

It's not just the APC.  Halcyon made a Dropship, a Power Loader, a couple of Aliens, the Narcissus shuttle and one or two other things.  Be prepared to spend some $ though.
