UHU02's Viper MK-II (REBUILD)

[Rhaven Blaack]

I decided to scratch build out the computer cabinet. I made the monitor a "LCD"/plasma flat screen monitor. I made the keyboard double thickness. I also built the CPU.


I raised the frame work around the cabinet.



The cabinet is in place.


I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Please stay tuned to Colonial Fleet News for further updates as they come.

Hold up a minute there Tex. The colonial fleet would never have a computer to maintain anything. Remember what happened in the pilot episode of the 2004 series?

None of the computers are linked to each other. They have computers all over the place, they can't network though.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

The computers are used for diagnostic purposes and to run simulations on certain systems to check viability and and functionality. However, they are not networked with one another.

Here is a tool chest that was designed by @silveroxide.

I raised the drawer fronts and handles for the drawers.


The tool chest is in place.

Great!

 

[DJPinter]

Nice. Are there going to be parts on the table?

No parts on the table, but I still need to build the figures (which is the next thing I make). I might have a coffee cup or two.

 

[Cybergrinder]

And he casually mentions he scratch built that...

@Rhaven Blaack ; absolutely brilliant!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Here is a small update.

I rebuilt the chair and stool.


As promised, here is a coffee mug. Yes, I will make a few more.


Yes, it says "FRAK ME". This was done based on a suggestion from my son.


Both the coffee mug and furniture are in place.

Great diorama, I am looking for your figures. Are you building them from paper too?

 

[zathros]

These small updates are absolutely fantastic!! You're working in such a small scale, and making "everyday" objects one would expect to see, which makes your diorama complete, and pleasing to the eye. The reasons why will go over the heads of the uninitiated. The rest of us in in awe.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

@bigpetr Yes, the figures will all be made out of paper. The figures that I will be using were designed by @Tirick, that I repainted (with his permission). Tirick's models can be found here: http://tcfgaming.com/ The BSG and Buck Rogers figures, were the ones that I repainted. The good thing is, @Tirick has created different hair colours and skin tones for the figures. So, you can make figures with different ethnicities, and my repaints are primarily of just the uniforms and accessories. Thus, you can make figures of "whomever" you wish.

@zathros Thank you very much. This is something that I have always enjoyed doing. Making small scale objects, is a good challenge for me to keep up and improve my skills. Not only that, but I find model building to be very therapeutic in many ways. However, I have found myself falling into a zone where everything around me "vanishes" and I (sometimes) lose track of time. So, a few intended minutes of building windsup being quite a few hours of building, and both my kids and fiance have to remind me that I have "Real-life" things that I have to attend to.

Awesome build! To say its all in the details is to put it mildly! I've seen photos of studio models from Star Wars and the original Battlestar Galactica and they have nothing on this build. Great work!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Thank you very much for the kind words and encouragement.
I am both humbled and honoured.

Love it!... great set to show off some VERY FINE "GREEBLES"!!

 

[bigpetr]

Awesome. Do you know of these figures? They are also great.

Actually, I am familiar with his work. I was hoping that he would make ones for BSG and BRTC25, but he has other projects going on at this time.
The thing that I like about Tirick's figures, is that they are free.

 

[bigpetr]

He also has free figures (link I posted) . But you have to customize them yourself.
