CYLON RAIDER - old school

Very nice!

Personally, I don't see a "canon" problem with the metallics.  Why would robots paint something that didn't require it for some reason?  If any nitpicker mentions "well, the studio minis were gray", my response would be that the bluescreening would have required that and the shade of your flat metallic look matches with that taken into account.

 the colors fit the subject very well. good stuff.

Great job on a great kit.I built this one several years ago and loved it.

very nice looking build. good choices on the colors, in my opinion. I've got a NuBSG Cylon Raider in the stash I'm looking forward to.

That looks great-"By your command..."

Gerry,

  Nice job on the raider. I think I like the old school raiders over the new series version.

I like the old school version better too, but I think the new version explanation actually makes more sense; the robot is the ship instead of robots piloting the ship. Plus the thought that the pilot downloads into a new ship when it crashes, maintaining all its previous knowledge and experience is rather clever.

I built this kit once as a child. I remember "Millenium Facon-izing" it using bits and pieces from a Monogram 1/48 scale B-24 Liberator. I added the ball turret to the belly and the dorsal turret to the spot aft of the louvered cockpit.
