myk Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well, how many modern planes have tail guns now? In the BSG science fictional world? I don't know... Quote
Dobber Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 It makes sence to me. Adama and Coker's Rartor is an old variant without a jump drive so it has more space where the standard Rator's we know from the series has the larger, jump capable engines that take up the rear third of the airframe.

renegadeleader1 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well, how many modern planes have tail guns now? As far as I know, the only one left is variants of the Tupolev TU-95 bear bomber in active service. The B-52 had all theirs removed as part of the H model upgrade plan. Quote
senator02103 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Yup, just like any other sci-fi/fantasy story, everything looks cooler the further back we go in time. I have to say though, if Boomer had had a Raptor with a tail gun maybe she and Helo wouldn't have had to set down on Caprica for repairs. Why would anyone delete such a feature? Peace-time design Raptor, I suppose? That's true. Ah this thread has given me the itch to watch the Bluray set I bought and haven't sat to watch yet. Quote

myk Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 That's true. Ah this thread has given me the itch to watch the Bluray set I bought and haven't sat to watch yet. You've gotta tell me if it makes the show look any prettier than it was during its broadcast days. I know it's supposed to look gritty, grainy, but I like the polished, gleaming look of B&C for example... Quote

I know it's supposed to look gritty, grainy, but I like the polished, gleaming look of B&C for example... It looks a tonne pretty, but I don't know whether its my ps3 or my copies of the Bluray but in a couple of episodes the picture skips for a second and like pixelates really badly for a fraction of a second. It's still worth it, but then again I am biased outside of Macross, BSG is my obsession. Quote
myk Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Well, they're only $20 a season on blu-ray so it'd be worth it to pick up. What generation PS3 do you have? My PS3 and laptop are very particular about what blu-rays they will play, but they are older so... Quote

My PS3 and laptop are very particular about what blu-rays they will play, but they are older so... It cost me close to $130 for the complete blu ray set with the "Plan, BSG Razor" included in the set. My ps3 is one of the first slim line models. Quote
Keith Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 It cost me close to $130 for the complete blu ray set with the "Plan, BSG Razor" included in the set. My ps3 is one of the first slim line models. Obvious question, but did you check the offending disc's? When I picked up my set there was one disc with some definate funk on it. Cleaned up fine, and played fine after. Quote

Cleaned up fine, and played fine after. I'll just give them a nice cleaning each disk before watching!. Season 1 cliff hanger ending is possibly the best ending of all the seasons on that show. Am I the only one that didn't really dig the vibe change after season 1?, Don't get me wrong I love that show haha a lot more then I should but yeah season had this really awesome thing going for it.

I think it became too Cylon oriented. Jamie Bamber (Apollo) said as much in a pod cast while talking with Ron Moore. He wasn't trashing the show or anything, just that he was wondering about it and thought it seemed more intense, and the Cylon's more menacing, when they where an unknown entity that just kept comming.Season 4 especially, was far too Cylon/ final 5, oriented for my taste and was the main problem for the season...for me.

Chris Season 1= - Episodes with a bit of comedy and bits and pieces about Colonial Life - Dogfighting, constant dog fighting - Mystery Season 2= - No humor - Absolute hopelessness - Intense Cylon stuff - Year jump ahead at the end of the season. Don't get me wrong as I said love the show but season 1 will always be my favourite. Edited March 4, 2013 by senator02103 Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 Yes, I heard that rumour last year... now that's the kit I've been waiting for! I hope its as good as that resin kit that's always out of stock. There's one of my most highly anticipated kits if it ever comes to fruition. Theres a Timeslip Resin Galactica kit on Ebay right now, not sure if its the one you were looking for but looks alot more detailed than the Monogram kits. Quote
electric indigo Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Anybody interested in a 1/32 scale TOS Raider? Preview of the new Moebius IP kit. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 When's the freakin Pegasus coming out!? Same here, damn thing was supposed to be released already. Quote
Uxi Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Wasn't it always end of March, beginning of April? Quote
Duke Togo Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Well, how many modern planes have tail guns now? Gulfstream G650 Quote
Gaijin Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Finally saw Blood and Chrome. I sorta think they should leave the franchise alone now that it's done. At least if this is what we are getting. Quote
505thAirborne Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Wasn't it always end of March, beginning of April? Unless I'm totally wrong (I might be) I remember seeing release dates as far back as October 2012 & January 2013. Even the Hobby shop I've done business with for years now was surprised it was available yet. But I'll be patient, if its as detailed as the BSG & Vipers, I'll be happy! Quote
electric indigo Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Here's the interesting story of the Viper Mk. II design right from the creator, along with some nice renders & facts from the show: http://sci-fi-museum-pierre-drolet-com.webs.com/viper-mark-ii-and-iib Quote
Dobber Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Read that before. It's a interesting read but hate that HE calls it a MkII. It was named on screen as the MkIII and also by Gary Hutzle. I took it as the designer saw it as an opportunity to have a second go at HIS MkII design but the s how's producers just used it as the MkIII. Chris Quote

wm cheng Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Woohoo!!! I've been waiting for that classic Galactica... couldn't afford the Timeslip resin version (plus its always sold out!). Quote
electric indigo Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Moebius used the Timeslip kit to create their master. Let's see how much corners they had to cut for injection plastic production. Quote
wm cheng Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Oooh, that's great, because I love that rendition. I guess the first to go is all the surface cross-hatching... which I guess we can add back in with a mechanical pencil. Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 That classic Viper looks great, puts the old Revell/Monogram kits to shame! Quote
electric indigo Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 New Classic Raider kit next to the new Classic Viper (both 1/32) - I need a bigger house... Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 The Cylon Raider looks great, very detailed, I need a bigger display case!! Quote

Kyp Durron Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Better pics of the pre built Mark II, I didn't expect them to fill the seams for $50 bucks, but that's fine, I got on on the way, it's good enough for me.http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/showimage3.aspx?gid=345200&ppid=1122ℑ=683205499&images=200444041,683205499,683205473,683205276,683205248,683205302,683205326,683205348,683205373,683205397,683205417,683205446&formats=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0&format=0-Kyp Quote
