I had been looking for BSG models for 18 1/2 years and when I found them they were almost completely sold out. It's good to hear that you had a friendly relative who made you happy.When I look over my plastic Galactica (I just did this afternoon) it realy isn't up to par to todays models either plastic or paper. I was very young then and was excited alone over the fact to even have that model here in Holland. A relative gave it to me after a trip to Canada.
I allready downloaded the Galactica from Leslie's site and it is nice indeed but could do with a bit of greebling.
Your REALY BIG one, is that gonna be a papermodel ?
Your update on the Viper looks very good, I'm realy anctious to see how the unfold will look like.
Cheers,
Elko
I remember watching BSG (after "Het fabeltjeskrant") on Dutch televison every Sunday at 7.15 AM in 1983. And every Saturday afternoon there was Buck Rogers. And a few years later, KITT was on the road every Friday on TROS. I even recorded several segments of the shows on tape. Fond childhood memories. Two of the most prominent expressions of that time were "mischien" (in the subtitles) and "let's get out of here". Unfortunately there was no-one who could translate the dialogue for me!
The BIG ONE is supposed to be made of paper. I don't want Jan's Sulaco to be lonely. :mrgreen:
Concerning the Viper, I'm designing the thing as a series of modules which should unfold fine. The reason for that is that some elements are supposed to become parts of other Viper models. The base of the Mk. I is going to become the base of the Antique Viper and the Scarlet Viper. So you may expect several recurring pictures and build steps in the assembly instructions.
