Group Build: BSG TOS Viper (Revellogram and Mobius)

[thunderbearr]

I may have missed when this got asked. What is the scale on this kit? I've got a diorama idea and need to determine the scale before I buy additional stuff.

Well if iam not mistaken it 1/32.

[Peagis]

It's 1/32

[thunderbearr]

Coolness! Well, I'm off to get some 1/32 modern armor (Humvees... etc)

[Peagis]

LoL Have fun T-Bear

He was a case of DO NOT.

I "threw my hat in the ring" early on, have two kits and even some AM parts thanks to my buddy Cat and then some kickass decals thanks to Peagis of course- but I am still working "elswhere".

BUT- I sure am luvin watchin you guys strut your stuff!

Keep it up gents!

SLACKERS!!!! No Updates in TWO Days??? WTF???

[Talen]

Not slacking, working.

I actually have some pictures with my update this time. The Viper is together and for the most part ready for paint *breathes in deep* and that means I try my hand at airbrushing for the first time.

Here is some pics

Here is the X-wing turbine I added to the hole in the nose


The scribed lines I made, not great, but not bad.



Nose on


Cockpit, again, not great, but not horrible either

Looking good Talen. The scribed lines look good, especially this one:


The ones going around curves are the hardest.

Are you going to add the others in as well?

[79 daytona]

Looking GOOD!!! Talen.

[Refit1701]

Wow, nice update and photos, Talen!

I've been slacking the last week or so, with insufficient back pressure to even go to the workbench and so much as pickup a piece of styrene.

Perhaps I can get off my backside and do something tonight. I keep repeating what Talen/Scale Model Addict said "completion, not perfection".

I guess I can say I watched six episodes of SMA last night INSTEAD of building my own model....LOL.

He reminds me of me too much.

[Talen]

hmm...holy dissapearing posts, I replied to this last night..and it didn't stick, so I'll try again.

No, I won't be scribing anymore lines, I'm taking the quit while I'm ahead approach

My current idea for this Viper is to make it one of the last Mk1s produced prior to the introduction of the Mk2 Vipers in NuBSG Universe.

The scribed line I made are similar to the ones on the Mk2 Viper. Her paint scheme will be similar to the Mk2 as well.

[dbhs]

That's a cool idea. It will be very interesting to see how that turns out.

I'm changing the design for my "original" Viper concept.

I decided that it was just too stubby lookin'.I'm also marking
out patterns for flush mounted rivets/screws on the body.

The overall appearance should look something like this....
