    Ah, that's why. I barely remember watching those.
  2. Thom
    I must have missed that EP, or have forgotten completely. Was this while on Kobol? Anyway, I imagine it would be a pig in atmosphere.
  3. Thom
    Very nice with the grime in the sweeps!
  4. Thom
    Dang it! I know have a few pics of it completed somewhere. Must be lost in the ones and zeros... Anyway, here's a pic of my kitbash Viper before it was finished. 'd take new pics, but it has since been taken apart for a indefinite refurbishment.

    Nah, that was a chosen filming 'style.' There have been other shows in the same era, and before, with dodgier CG that kept nice smooth pans and shots. And if it wasn't 'good enough' then they should have gone to practical. Man, just imagein if they had made lit, studio scale models of the Nu Galactica, Pegasus and Baseships.

    Just about anything in space can dogfight.

    I really liked the look of the new Vipers. I only wish they had been a little larger. I did kitbash the Nu version with the TOS and it looked pretty good, IIDSSM. I have to try and find a pic of it. It was too jarring. In fact every time they did it, it would pull me out of the story. 'Why was the 'camera' jumping around like that?' I'd ask myself. When I'm watching something happen my focus doesn't jump and telescope. Like in real life, I watch the entire scene unfold, and when they would suddenly jump closer to one aspect it would break up the entire shot. Plus, they did it way too often. Once or twice? Fine. But just about every exterior shot had that gimmick. But that comes down to personal preference. I'm not in the scene with them, I am outside of it trying to see what is going on, so show me everything. Well, as you state, it was because of budget constraints and not personal, 'artistic' expression. And what they did show, repeatedly, at least stayed steady and didn't jerk around all over the place like the camera guy was drunk. So whole-heartedly agree! And I missed the energy guns and the Cylons as an alien race.

    For the most part, the visuals were great, but I hate shaky cam! Or the sudden, rapid zoom-in, as if I have telescopic vision. In comparison, that's not so bad, but just hold the dang camera steady!

    Thanks @tekering Here's another shot, low and from the stern. She has full size flight pods on the bottom as well as the top. And at some point I'll get to finishing Pegasus... But I don't know if I can forgive you for the reference to Gal80. That. NEVER. Happened! (Well, except for the Return of Starbuck. That was good.) Prometheus is looking great @505thAirborne! Hopefully the turrets should be there soon. Just have to slip passed the Cylon blockade...

    My head-canon is a mix of both series, dumping most of the Nu story and going with most of the original intent, using the newer ships and with a mix of TOS and Nu series characters. Though I did turn Apollo into a hot chick played my Lucy Lawless... This is my reworked Galactica, build from two Pegasus kits.

    Not too recent, as I've had it for about three weeks now. 2024 Trax, by far, the newest car I've ever owned!

    Gremlins 2 was playing the other night, and I had forgotten how wonderfully corny it was! Always love when Cates' character of Kate Beringer's starts to go into her traumatic dialogue in this one, and it's about a Lincoln-impersonator-flasher!
  13. Thom
    It's possible an entire string of conversation was pruned, so maybe not just yours. IDK, I wasn't here at the time, but that's happened to me as well a time or three.
  14. Thom
    Well, it did have some corny moments - or twelve!
  15. Thom
    @derex3592 She sure looks perty in pictures! Nicely done BUFF. @505thAirborne Your battlestar is coming along great. Of the name choices, I'd go with Prometheus. Once again, another piece of art @Papa Rat. Eh... I've seen both of them, and I have to say I vastly prefer the original. Ship aside, which I prefer more than the TOS Galactica ships... I liked the mini-series, but that's as far as I would ever watch it again.
