Hey Nothing, How's your build progress going? I think I'll have the Liner finished tomorrow, possibly Tuesday.

After that I'd like to either crack on with another unfold or start building the Mining Ship.

How's that MkVII working out for ya?

This remind's me of the argument, which star trek was better. The original series or the next generation.

Maybe I am looking into it wrong, but the same is happening again. Old film, series BSG and new series BSG.

To be honest I don't care, I like both. And if guy's like you lot on here didn't design the models. I would NOT stand a chance of building them. So I would like to say thank you to ''''ALL'''' of you for putting the time and effort in to these models. And that means both series, old and new.

Keep up the good work.

yea im waiting for another unfold as well. the viper is coming along although im having a hard time figuring how this guy did the wings.i may need to get the viper mesh from the game pak to compare. some odd geometry to the mesh. i should have an update picture later onof the queen. almost done with the little hull details. once thats done speed should pick up.

i like both series as well, but you cant compare them both side by side. the new series has too much departure from the tos series. the only one i did not like was galactica 1980.

I agree that they can't be compaired side by side, same as a 60's star trek and a 80's star trek. I just wanted to say how glad I am that finally modellers are getting the chance to have a go at building such great ships. Which ever series.

Is the BSG 1980 the series where they have found Earth and are riding around on air bikes. I think I remember an episode with something like this.

Nothing, which one do you want next? I mentioned in an earlier post I was working on the Celestra for Skip, then was gonna send you the Cloud 9. Is that okay or do you want a different one? I figured since you've done one already you could zap this one out real quick. I still want to do all the ships in the pack eventually.

Of the ones not yet available elsewhere we've still got Gemini Transport (which we've had a request for), The Agro ship, ColRef (refinery?), the Intersun liner, and the platform ship.

Let me know cause the Celestra is almost done and then I'll start working on whatever mesh you want.

I liked the old series, except Galactica 80 of course. As a kid I loved the air bikes. I remember pretending my BMX was one of them, used to imagine flyin' around on it and turning the cloak on. LOL Sad git eh?

I wasn't knocking the old series at all earlier. I loved it and still enjoy watching it. As much as I love the new Basestar, I still prefer the old one. Each to their own. It's true you can't compare the two, visually they're both completely different, story wise there are huge differences. TV's just evolved over the last 30+ years.

I've said this before, I'm greatful also to be both part of this team, and to get a chance to build some really cool BSG models.

Looking forward to getting the Celestra, if I may make a request for the one I do after that? I'd love to cover the Intersun Luxury Liner/ Rising Star/ Ring Ship?? I like that one and would love to take care of it. :)

Hey Nothing, if I can be of assistance at all for your Viper, you know where I am. :)

Off now to update the Carrier thread.

Great job Nothing! You ever get tired of hearing that? LOL

Cheeky use of PE parts too! ;) It's effective though.

The Celestra is ready for me so there'll be another new one here soon. Off to get more done on the Carrier now. :)

Great job Nothing. Again! LOL

Those pics you posted. The first one is the Rising Start as it was in the original series. It's not in the fleet pack as I know it. But, you can get a mesh of that at Lightwave Group 3D Click on "Resources" and it's in the "Meshes" page under Battlestar Galactica. I've not seen the wireframe so I don't know if it's suitable or not for papermodels. Hope that helps. :)

The second on is a New series ship and is in the fleet pack. I think it's called the Platform Ship in the fleet pack. No idea what it does in the series though, I've seen it on screen but as a background ship.

Hope that helps you out. I've replied to your email too. ;)
