Of course it was a joke in response to the paper / plastic posts that have been made here.
exactly. it was just a reference to the Rhaven Blaak posts. Although I have plastic models I find paper models (good/detailed) more and more lively.

- Thread starter Rhaven Blaack
- Start date
This project was one of the best builds I've seen.

ITS OUT!! Wonderful model. Thanks to RevellFan and RhavenBlaak for this gift.
- Unfortunately I am still ocupied in my recent build. Stop Y-Wing and start Viper? Y/N Y/N Y/N Y/NY/N Y/NY/N Y/NY/N Y/N - hard decision. As mama always said - finalize things first before you start the next one!

INDEED! I should have obeyed this motto more often - now I'm stuck with a huge bag of WIPs. But don't worry. I will complete them, one at a time. Don't rush, starbuck, the Viper will be waiting for you. Finish the Y-Wing first. I'm concentrating on finishing the launch rail (instructions on the way), the rest of the hangar bay and an accessory set including the ladder.ITS OUT!! Wonderful model.

A few days ago, I was looking at this Viper, and noticed that the side areas that are between both the top and side engines were rather "FLAT" ( to say the least). I knew that it needed some extra details. So, I decided to do something about it and printed three copies of the parts sheet that had these components on them and work a little "magic"!

Thank you both! I really like this model. There is a great deal of greebling potential in it.
The crystal ball says: Once you have greebled out the 1/18 Viper you might get your hands at a 1/2 studio scale Battlestar. That will give you months if not years to enjoy!
I would hang it from the ceiling.
As for greebling the Viper, once I rebuild it for the diorama that I want to build, I will be greebling it to the fullest extent that I possibly can.

I can't even convince the wife to let me get the 1/350th Enterprise Refit... That's a tad over 1m / 3 ft
Well, the Galactica will be made of paper, so it can be folded flat and put under the bed... At least before the parts are assembled..! 
A work of ART! StarBuck would approve!
Love the detail.
After conducting research for another project, both @Revell-Fan and I realized that there are Anti-collision (formation) lights on the front of the tail and the bottom edges of the wings (towards the front) of the Viper. After considerable discussion, we both agreed to add the lights (as an option).
Here are the parts for the lights.
The tail lights are applied.
The starboard side light is applied.
The Port side light is applied.
This is the Viper ready for launch!
