Colonial Shuttle MK-I (Battlestar Galactica TOS)
- Thread starter Rhaven Blaack
- Start date
This component sits directly between the engine exhausts.
Here are the parts for this component.
When assembling the main part of the component, start with the back piece and the edge piece. Start attaching the edge piece in the top center and work your way around the edge by attaching each tab separately on alternate sides.
Attach the front plate and the rest of the parts for the component. I raised the printed texture to show depth and detail.
The component is attached in place.
Please stay tunes to your local Colonial Broadcast network for further updates as they come in.

Here is another update. This component is both tedious and fiddly to assemble.
Here are the parts for these components.
Like I had mentioned in the previous updated post, when assembling the main part of the component, start with the back piece and the edge piece. Start attaching the edge piece in the top center and work your way around the edge by attaching each tab separately on alternate sides.
The other side is attached.
The component is now greebled out.
The components are attaching in place.
*NOTE* There is a small area to attach these components to, so you might want to use a stronger adhesive (I used super glue) to make certain that they will not fall off it bumped.

I'd have used CA as well. Small surface to glue, PVA is not gonna hold.
Moving on to the next update (and final components). Here are the landing gear mounts and struts.
Here are the parts for the landing gear mounts and struts.
Starting with the landing gear mounts.
The landing gear mount is assembled.
(*NOTE* There are four mounts in total. I only featured one to illustrate the assembled part.)
The landing gear mounts are attached in place.
Moving on to the landing gear struts.

Thank you one and all for the kind words and encouragement! I hope that you enjoyed viewing this as much as I enjoyed building it!

Thank you very much! I am certain that you will do an impressive job on yours as well!Impressive.
Hoping to be able to do as well with mine
That's a damn nice ship! It looks almost like the studio model. All that it needs is an internal skeleton and an interior, maybe with lights. And the missing missiles at the bottom should be added. Excellent job, bro! 
Thank you very much! I have to agree with you. It does indeed need a good interior and formers (lighting would also be a great touch as well). However, that is all for a much later project to tackle.That's a damn nice ship! It looks almost like the studio model. All that it needs is an internal skeleton and an interior, maybe with lights.

I think it's smart to stay away from all Cyanoacrylayes (CA) all cyanide based. Those glues build up in your system and you cannot get them out. There are many non-toxic glies will will bind paper together. You can use ZIP DRY to bind steel rods to paper. It's lignen free (means it won't yellow0 and it'x is non toxic. It forms a very strong mechanical matrix and is waterproof... Doesn't have much of a smell either. I like to use it to glue plastic windows to cardboard car, or ship models.
This shuttle is coming out awesome. An interior, I've never even seen an interior picture of one of these. That would be interesting.

Here is a diagram of the interior of the Shuttle that someone drew up.
There are TWO landrams.All hands, please note the Landram.
