Hello! I joined this group because of a Facebook post by Christopher Tucker, who showed the really amazing Colonial Viper he had made, from Battlestar Galactica. It really looks the business! I intend to try my hand at making one myself, when my broken wrist has healed!
My previous experience in scratch build models in card is limited to a railway tunnel through a mountain I built for my son's model railway. I designed the brickwork, tunnel aperture etc. on the mac and printed them off on good quality card. I finished it off with acryllic paint, to add soot etc.
The Viper will be a step up in technical skill necessary, but I won't need to design from scratch. I just have the model's creator's high standard to attempt to come near to, no easy thing! I've always loved Battlestar Galactica and the model Christopher made looks brilliant!
Look forward to showing my attempt, if it's worthy of show! All the best, Steve.
