Battlestar Galactica Launch stall

[Rhaven Blaack]

Here is the Solium Transport Rack.

Here is the parts sheet. There are enough parts to make three racks. Yes, there are three lids with different different coloured lettering (Black, White, and Red).


For this build, I chose the black lettering.


Here are all of the assembled parts.


Everything goes together easily.




Make certain that you do not glue the lids on. They are suppose to be removeable (if you wish to change out the cylinders).




Loading the cylinders.


All nine cylinders are loaded and ready for transport.






A fresh load of Solium Cylinders has arrived.
Who was the brain dead daggit that put them in the launch bay? They are suppose to go in the storage room!!!


Please stay tunes to your local Colonial Broadcast network for further updates as they come in.

Looks great RB

 

[Revell-Fan]

Excellent!

Revell-Fan and I are still working on this project. We have been working on different elements to enhance this project.
One of these elements is a blast door "plug". Granted, the actual blast door should be an actual door that slides up and down. However, if someone is wanting to build just the launch stall, they can put the "plug" in to show the door in place.

Here are the parts for the plug. It is a very straight forward build. It is just a matter of layering the parts.


All of the parts are layered together.




The plug is in place.






If it is too loose, you can add a ribbon of paper to increase the size. If it is too tight, just file the edges down until it fits properly.

PERFECT! This will an addition to the first wall template. RB came up with the concept. It was never seen in the show but it makes sense.

Once the launch tube is done, there will be a proper blast door made for it.

Are the walls and floor available yet? or am I just overlooking them.

 

[ennder]

you two are doing a wonderful job on this project, thank you for your hard work.

We are still working on everything and "Hammering" out the kinks, dings, and dents.

I am always impressed by your clean precise work.
You really show love to the BSG stuff.

It is time for another update! This time, I am working on the ceiling for the stall. @Revell-Fan did a GREAT JOB on the design work! The way that it is designed, not only can you see through it, you can also insert lights in it as well.

Starting with the ceiling frame-work. Here are the parts for the framework of the ceiling.


Be careful with parts out. The lines on the frame are not fold line. They are used for lining up the lightbar and the back wall.


I attached the framework pieces to foam core board (that is 0.5 mm thick).


All of the framework pieces are attached to the foam core board.


Here are the parts for the edges (both inside and outside).


All of the inside edges are applied.


Now onto the outside edge pieces.


The outside edge pieces are formed.


The outer edge pieces are applied.






On to the lightbar, now.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Time for the lightbar. Here are the parts for the lightbar (with additional greebles).
(*NOTE* It is possible to install lights in the lightbar.)


The main body of the lightbar is assembled. I inserted foam core board to add strength and rigidity.




I laminated the greebles to another sheet of (0.22 mm) cardstock (for a thickness of 0.44 mm).


Attaching the greebles.









The lightbar is finished.




The lightbar is attached to the framework.




Here is the ceiling on the stall.

[Revell-Fan]

Wow, that looks better than expected! Great work, bro!

One note: If you like to enhance the 3D effect you may laminate the parts to thicker card (1mm is suggested). But that it totally up to you. The blocks on top of the light bar are total fantasy but you can use them to "hide" or incorporate a switch. Be creative!

Small sitrep: We are now working on one last addition to make the stall complete. Once this is done the whole package will be released.

Thank you sir! This is a fun project!!!
