1/2500th? Classic Galactica
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, August 18, 2004 1:01 AM
Here is that Galactica I keep talking about. I wanted to take some picures so I shot some primer on her and she is looking better all ready. I may pick up on this project again soon.

She is constructed entirely of sheet styrene. Her main hull is 1/8" thick sheet and needs no support for strength. She is solid as a rock. The bow and engine block are 1/16" but the multiplane construction makes them ridged. Her total length is 29 1/8" long.


I have a LOT of work ahead of me for the next few years. The new Refit Enterprise will only delay this project even longer.


Here's that link;

Excellent! Can give out the where did you get specs on her? I have not found anything that gives dimensions for her or other capital ships form Capricorn?

THere are no definitive dimensions. Just some contradictory statments made in novels and by the production crew. I just went with one naugtical mile. You can always fit a launch tube into a hole that is too big. Not the other way.
