After looking at my Battlestar's, Vipers, Raptor & Raiders, it still boggles the mind that Moebius never made either Cylon Basestar. I can still get the old Monogram kits with no issues, but the few Re-imagined Basestar's that do exist are Rare & $$$$. So, I present to you the crudest & quick mockup of a Basestar (Cardboard & tape), size feels right compared to my Galactica & Pegasus. I might try using craft foam board with a mix of styrene to build something far more refined and as accurate as the Lords of Kobol will allow. Just the beginning stages, time will tell how this experiment turns out.

You'll nail the landing!

Looks amazing so far, you did a fantastic job on the seams, can't see them at all.

Last round of pics, then it's off to the next project. SSWA!

I was tempted to get the PE set for the guns... but that is a level of patience that I do not possess. LOL

I'll post some better pics in the morning, just a quick shot with the turrets mounted on. @SteveTheFish I'm honestly not sure where these originated from, besides being long out of production, MW member @Thom hooked me up with these. Rarely, but they do pop up on eBay from time to time, like 4 months ago someone had a listing, but I missed out. Curious about your Kakizaki VF-1A, any reason you're using 013 instead of 012 for his Valk?

@Big s My Turrets are ready to smash some toasters!
-
Yep, these are specifically for the Moebius kits. But they're going this one instead. The blue pieces of tape is where I'm pretty sure I'll be putting the cannons.

Well after a detour here & a detour there during its travels, look what arrived today.
-
I've said it before & stand by it, build some SV-51's and the VF-11 and milk that mold for all it's worth!

Woman of the hour was great, as soon as I saw Anna was in it not to mention directing, I was all on aboard. Since some of you watched FALL as well, the tower according to the director is based on the KXTV/KOVR Tower (also known as the Sacramento Joint Venture Tower) is a 2,049-foot-high (625 m) communications tower in Walnut Grove, California, United States.

Watching the movie FALL on Netflix, if you have a fear and anxiety of heights, this movie turns it up to 11!!!

For a Valkyrie toy that is riddled with Anime magic in order for it to transform, the HMR 2SS is still a must have... warts & all. To see Arcadia or Bandai make a 1/60, that would be a true Holy Grail for me.

We need a Cannon Fodder VF-0A and some SV-51's.

So many wonderful performances by this gifted actor, The God Father, Apocalypse Now, Network and others. One of my favorites... OPEN RANGE. RIP Robert Duvall.

Best episode so far. -
This is why I keep Blu-ray & DVD's handy, streaming never seems to have that show you truly want to watch.

BATTLESTAR PROMETHEUS reporting in, once the guns/cannons arrive, she'll be complete.
-
@tekering The PEGASUS is truly a Beast, I sure wish Moebius or someone else would reissue the kits, I'd love to get 1 or 2 more. @Papa Rat The original Battlestar Galactic is one to be watched, remembered & respected, especially given when it was made. I wouldn't mind seeing a reboot of the original storyline from the 1978 series. As for the RDM reimagined series, find the DVD's or Blu-ray's and watch the entire thing, it's quite possibly one of the best series ever made. From the acting, sets, & musical score by Bear McCreary, it's one not to be missed. @Thom I think Prometheus is the way to go too.

@derex3592 Nothing like seeing a B-52 with external ordnance, looks great!! @nightmareB4macross How much more before you're ready to call it done & start painting this masterpiece? Again, hard to believe that started out as a standard issue 1/55... Impressive! The Battlestar is coming together nicely, still not sure I want to name it Galactica. I might go with PACIFICA, TRITON or if I can find the decal... PROMETHEUS.

GALACTICA SITREP, first off, thank you everyone for the suggestion & replies, I appreciate it. My buddy who also knows how to add lighting to model kits stopped by, we got the engine section off and checked the wires/connections, everything looked good, but it comes back to the LED's I chose to use, they just weren't quality lights. We tried an LED strip I had not used yet and it failed to light up. So the wires were good, but the lights were duds. In the end, this Battlestar will be a highly detailed, aged & weathered display. As a backup plan, I'm looking into glow-in-the-dark paints, maybe go for the SDF-1 PF effect. @Thom I absolutely appreciate the offer on the guns & I'll take them!! @derex3592 The USS TEXAS is looking great!! @Papa Rat Those kits & your painting skills are top notch!!
