Ship Request: Battlestar Galactica

[pparis17]

I'd like to know if anyone could work on making a model of the Battlestar Galactica from the NEW show (Not the 80's one)? Let me know if anyone is interested, I would really appreciate it. I have a few pictures of Galactica, but I don't know how to post them on the forums.

As usual if I find time I may look into it. The best is to simply post the pics.

Original BSG?

Now that is one hell of a ship.

The original BG (Battlestar Galatica) looks more Star Wars-esque (due to proximity of start dates, as well as the technology for making models and the modelers themselves with the beginnings of the SW universe). The new BG has a darker more sinister look (no-nonsense, kill or be killed), which I'm sure is what they intended.

 

It doesn't look like "too" much has changed from the Vipers though (I did like that "Turbo" button )

I just love that ship design. Of course I mean the original

Thanks for putting up those pics Defender. The one I wanted is the new one, I

don't really like the old one because I feel the new one is more star wars esque. The vipers are mostly the same except in the new one they introduced

a new version that is significantly more powerful. In the new show Galactica only has a few of the new vipers (mk 7's) because it was being retired and turned into a mueseum so it mostly carried the old vipers (mk 3's).

I actually like the new one because it's better geared toward a 3D battle environment.

Little off topic.

If you go to http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/ you can watch the season 1 finale with Real Player.
