You guys got this backwards. These were the "BSG" "Hoover" vehicles. They were used to vacuum the huge interior of the ship, then the dust was turned into dirt for planting gardens.

Thats to much, death by hover....CHRIS! BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD! I'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE HOVER CELLS WITH SUCTION CUPS! STAT!
Seriously: If a hack like Boomer reverses the polarity of the hover cells, would they not turn from "pressing" to "pulling" the vehicle to a surface? Would that not lead to a vehicle that is able to climb up walls?

Thank you sir! The next two will be the brown (with black stripes) BSG "PARADEEN" versions. I have printed out the templates for both (last night) and will be starting the build today.
So, switching gears back to BSG. This version of the Hover Vehicle was featured in the BSG episode "GREETING FROM EARTH". @Revell-Fan and I are referring to this version as the "Paradeen" version (named after the planet that most of the episode too place). There were two vehicles featured in the episode that had slightly different texture (basically the black striping is slightly different between the two). Here are a few photos that show the difference.
(*NOTE* Yes, I will be building both versions.)
Here is the parts sheet for the body
I assembled the main body and attached the main storage area and the "hidden" trunk.

This is the premiere version of the vehicle on TV. All the other scenes show repainted versions of these copper-brown ones. It would have been better to start with this one but I asked Rhaven to make the other versions first because I needed some time for a few extras. Stay tuned!
Here are the internal formers.
The internal formers are assembled.
The internal formers are put into place (but sit freely, without glue).
