Thank you gents for the kind words.

I love those classic ships.

Always fun to build, modify, light, change anywhichway!

Well done. Great build.

Mr Squid: Fatastic looking build! I've got one of the reissued kits with the clear parts for the engines in the stash but this is the first time I've seen one lighted up.

I just finished watching 3 episodes in a row, it's addicting and the guy who plays the genius Dr. is just amazing!   He surely won some award for that part.... of course, the woman who played his Cylon "friend" isn't too bad either.... acting or on the eyes.

I'd never watched one episode of either the original or new series until about two years ago a friend burned all the new series for me. Once I had them I just kinda sat and watched em all back-to-back absorbing the entire world of BSG that I had missed for so long? Then I bought a few episodes of the original and I guess without the rose colored lenses of nostalgia working for me, about all I could enjoy were the ship designs? But I'm glad to say I am better versed on BSG now than I was before.

"BY YOUR COMMAND,THAT’S A GOOD BUILD!"

Back to the original BG pilot, I was a sucker for the "falling leaf" attack.

Very nicely done!

Nice!!! Really nice joband a great trip down memory lane

ha! I'm watching the NU-BSG as I type. Adama just took 2 in the chest..

Nice Raider !! I just got this off ebay ! Did you scratch the lighting ?

The "re-release" (anniversary edition from a year or two back) comes with clear inserts for the engines which help but I guess you'd say the lighting is "scratched" It's two red LEDs per side in the back and then two green mini LEDs snuggled up into the modified gun bodies with stretched clear sprue to then transmit that out to the gun tips for better visibility. Power runs up through an aluminum tube bent to mimic and replace the rear brace of the kit stand and the model sets upon that with a mini-stereo jack so it can be removed when you wanna "fly it about the room"! And you know, we all do that!

And that's what us Old Farts are good for- dredging up the past!

I don't hang here either, but the Cylon ship caught my eye and brought back some great memories.

Interesting since it was the NU-BSG which got me looking at  the "old kits". I must admit after building the kit I now really appreciate the design of this old craft. It was a lot of fun.

Thanks for the kind words.

MrSquid the build looks great and brings back memories.... .  I don't hang in the SF area but the Cylon caught my eye since I've been watching the "new" series on Netflix.
