Got home and practically ripped open the package!  These are VERY nicely cast!  Just as I've come to expect from AMP products.  I ordered two of the Flattops and one Mineral Ship.

My only real issue is that there are a bunch of parts for the Mineral Ship and no instructions.  I'm pretty sure that I've got an instruction sheet on my 'puter somewhere that Rob had emailed me a while back, but forget for sure where it is.   After researching this ship for a while and having a veritable ton o' reference on it, I won't have a problem with putting it together.  However, I can't see the casual fan will find it so easy. 

The Flattop has two main pieces and those will be a breeze to put together.  Sort of weird, tho, as this kit comes with several very small metal ball bearings.  Rob, are these replacements for the cast pieces/parts on the model?  If not, where do they go? 

Overall, very pleased, regardless!  I highly recommend these to anyone who'd like to have some ships for their Monogram Galactica to escort.  :)

Nothing glamorous.  I'm a Supply Troop in a C-130 squadron.  Been in the squadron for over 4 1/2 years now and hoping to move to base supply in the not-too-distant future.  That or cross-train. 

You still AD?  If so, where are you and what do you (or did you) do?

Good answer. 

What do you do LRAFB?  That was one of my best assignments.

I'm not Rob nor do I portray him on TV or in the movies.  However, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so can answer this question.  Clown [:o)]

 

It's in-scale w/the Revellogram TOS Galactica kit and measures in at approximately 7" long.  More info here (scroll down).

I always liked the look of that ship from the original series days.

Looking great!  And yes, please, how big is this guy?

It looks good.  Is it in scale with the original Galactica?
