BSG Viper Mark I (nearly 1:32) building thread

[Rhaven Blaack]

Upi are doing a GREAT JOB on this project!!!

 

[starbuck]

Thx.
Last parts with and without details.
Pilot waiting for his Viper to be finalized.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

This project is coming together nicely!!!

It's interesting to see how close you have come to 1/32. It clearly shows in the picture with the pilot figure. There is only a 6% difference which makes your plane about 1/34. The detail looks great and the weathering makes it look even more substantial and massive. thumbsup

I like the raised panels. Next time go with very thin paper and you will get the effect you're looking for, though this version is really coming out great!! I like the look of the model. It looks like it's seen some action. thumbsup

Lovely to see this, keep on going....

@ Zathros: Thx for the tip. I will consider within the next project.
Enclosed final pics - it was a great fun to build this Viper.
THANKS AGAIN TO REVEL-FAN AND RHVEN BLAAK for this beautiful model. :Bravo::Bravo:rinks:

I compared with the plastic model of Moebius.

Absolutely fantastic! Great work, pal! I love the final pics with the other planes. :Bravo::Bravo::Congrats:rinks:

Nice job it looks realy good.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

You did a GREAT JOB on this project! I really like all of the details that you added. Your work really brought it to life! Your comparison pics are really good!!!

 

[starbuck]

Thanks to all for the cheering words.
As mentioned it was fun building.
And to mention again: it is a wonderful model and I waited hard for the release, but it was really worth waiting.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Thank you very much! Your words mean much to me. Your enhancements make it look even better than the standard release. rinks: :Bravo::Congrats:

BTW, someone is waiting even longer for an 1/18th scale version..!

Adding details only makes sense if the standard release allows it. And - to be honest - this is not always the case. (This is my problem at the moment - I think of making a Cylon Raider, but the standard release is good, but not on the level as your Viper - not sure what do do at the moment.

1/18 wow that will be really big - it will make adding details more easy .......maybe....... ;-)

This only (TOS) Raider that I know of was made by Muprhyaa. Awhile back, I had attempted to make it. There are some flaws in it that he needs to correct. I have reached out to him about these flaws and requested he to make the corrections. He did say that he would get to it when he had to time.

I have a good SketchUp model to begin with (I found it in the Warehouse) but it needs some work and I just don't have the time to tackle it. So I'm too looking forward to Murphy's revision.

 

[zathros]

Can you turn that Sketchup model down to Ver. 8? If you could, I could run it through Rhino3D.
