This is a Timeslip Creations model kit. It is a reworked, more accurate kit of the original Monogram issue.

So here is where she stands now....

Things to do:

*Need to touch up the red stripes
*Attach rear end caps to landing bays as soon as I figure out what I want to do with them
*Attach engine grill as soon as I figure out what do with it
*Paint red stripes on front and read of pods as well as underneath engige area
*Place decals (red circle and name)
* Final weathering.

The base color is a mix of Floquil Reefer White and Concrete. I used pastels to weather the ship....although it gets washed out in the lighting.

I have one more update regarding the landing bays. Just waiting to take a pic.

Photo taken!

I scoured the internet for images of the landing bays of the Galactica. This is what I ended up with.

Needs tweaking, but this is what I had in mind. Seems to work.

Thanks guys!

Having trouble with the engines...trying to reproduce the honeycomb effect on the insides. Found some online ...honeycomb graphics that is....but not 100% sure it looks ok. I am using a blue and red gel. Thinking of maybe just leaving it a plain color.

Not sure yet what to do.

Actually, it's not a "reworked" anything from the Monogram kit. The pattern maker - Scott Spicer - built her from scratch.

Here is where I stand with the engines.

I like the smaller honeycomb I think, but the larger will stand out more. Thoughts?

I like this pattern best but I think it would be better if the pattern were just a little smaller, maybe 75% of this size.
My 2 cents.

The larger pattern is the more accurate shape but it's too large for the scale of this ship. If these are the only two choices you have then I think you would be better off rotating the smaller pattern 90°.

PS

Should you choose to go with the larger stuff you also need to rotate it 90° to how you've showed it in the photo.
