I love the way you're gone for awhile and BAM hit us with another mind numbing scratch build. Awesome work so far.

Worked on the wings today...lots of plastic squares....
I used a pencil grinder to cut slots and holes to add depth before the plastic was added (RH wing photo).

Very nice indeed. It reminds me of an earlier version of a Cylon Raider from the original series.

Seriously? 8"? That's a good amount of detail you've packed in there...I was already impressed...now i'm even more so!

Thanks again...I thought it was easier because it was smaller...less area to fill in!

Finished the upper RH wing tonight::

Wonderful scratchbuilt job as usual, Dan. Surprised to see no thermoses this time around though. LOL.

Dan, She is a beauty! Your presentation is very action packed, love the mountain top! I'd like to refine my BSG comment, to me it looks like a raider between the original and A.I. raider from the current series. Maybe a prototype A.I. raider?

NIce build. I am trying my hand at a space craft carrier. Still haven found the right engines...lol

Woody, to me it looks bigger than a raider. I'd say mabe an early Cylon bomber or troop transport. It's hard to judge the scale. So how big is she and what's she called?

Thanks Woody and MGM!

I didnt have a name for her...she's just something I plucked from imagination,,,with some inspiration from all sci fi movies and shows that have come and gone....measures about 9 inches in diameter.

Regards, Dan

Cool. What would be her realative size or scale say to a fighter or transport, carrier...

It's either REALLY big or very small with a lot of detail.

Awesome build Dan! All that texture really makes it pop with the paint and weather job.
