Beginner in the title refers to me of course. Paper model number three for me.
The viper is a very pleasent beautiful design. Very clear. Sharp. The mark 1 also a little more square shaped or "clunky", which I like. The mark 2 is more rounded, but also pretty.
To be honest, I did not watch much of the old bsg. It was already old when I was young and was aired sporadic in the tv.
But the viper (mk2) is also the spacecraft which brought me to this website. It was of course uhu02s viper. I saw it somewhere o the web, I thought this looks crazy I want to built it. Some old posts in old forums mentioned zealot and now I am here and found so much more ... bunch of crazy folk making wizardry with paper
Here my first viper. Starting simple. Long way to go to that uhu viper I think^^
Forgot to take more fotos of the beginning. Used 120g paper (same on the serenity). Little bit thin but it worked for the viper on that scale and with many round parts.
Then the guns, the first really small pieces for me. I rolled and glued them on a thinned out toothpick
I messed up during cutting of a wing. Grabbed the backup print only to realize tht I printed the second batch with slightly bigger scaleXD
But I wanted to go on and not build the hull again. The wings fit but the guns are too close to the hull, barely fitting in between there
