<p>Greetings:</p>
<p></p>
<p>It has been a while since I have posted anything but rest assured that you have all been on my mind. Work has really made getting any work done a challenge. I have managed to get most of the Colonial Miniature task force assembled. The maintenance bay has finally been cleared and crews are acquiring materials for the next builds. I will be posting updates as crews submit them and will post on a more regular basis here and on social media. </p>

<p>I just competed in my first ever model show which was put on by a local club. I entered my Battlestar Galactica Reboot model which is my baby, Battlestar Pegasus, Mk1 viper (Apollo) and Mk2 viper (Starbuck) inflight, heavy weathered, and my Assault Raptor. I swept the class (beginners sci-fi...fist competition, 1 year experience) Pegasus, Raptor, Apollo 1,2,3!!!</p>

<p>I wasn't there for the judging ( had to work) so my wife stayed and had to answer a lot of questions for me lol. Folks and judges were amazed that I was just getting into building and when asked who taught me, I said ( at setup) or she would tell them during the competition that I learned from Youtube, they were totally shocked. </p>
<p>Come to find out, there were several other sci fi builders who were competeing in the "professional" class that were a little worried when they saw my builds and relieved this year anyway that I was in the "beginners". Next time, I will be competing in the "big show" as the host club president put it. </p>
<p>I was just happy to be representing the franchise in a small way. </p>

<p>For those who might not follow on Facebook, I recently decided to build another Galactica re-imagined style ship. I was originally looking at armor plating it. I was doing my research, and from what I had found, the class ship that Galactica (Columbia?)is, appears as she is intended to be. Armor plate in all the right places and thick skin as we saw time and again on her voyage to Earth. Her class depended on her Vipers, gun emplacements, missiles, and support ships for protection. …</p>
<p>For those who might not follow on Facebook, I recently decided to build another Galactica re-imagined style ship. I was originally looking at armor plating it. I was doing my research, and from what I had found, the class ship that Galactica (Columbia?)is, appears as she is intended to be. Armor plate in all the right places and thick skin as we saw time and again on her voyage to Earth. Her class depended on her Vipers, gun emplacements, missiles, and support ships for protection. Very similar to Modern day aircraft carriers. I want to make sure this is correct before I start the next one which is on the way. Can anyone confirm with canon information or provide an official source?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyway, I wound up getting sidetracked from the armor plating during the pre-fit of the parts. I was messing around with the flight pods and then it hit. "Why not build her jump ready?" So that's what I did. It took some trimming of the pockets where the pods slide in...in retrospect, I should have omitted the pockets all together, and some sanding of the pods themselves. There is an ever so minute difference in the hull fitment with the pods in as I did it, but it still looks great and like I said it is barely noticeable. I am now working on the Aztec decals and weathering. I will post pics soon. </p> Raptor Builders be advised,tag:battlestarfanclub.com,2017-08-28:4960814:Topic:2158872017-08-28T13:25:02.539ZPFC.

<p>the instructions are a little misleading. I'm working on my assault Raptor and things are going good. I'm following the instructions to the letter, and that's when the instructions lead me astray on installing the sensor antenna #48 I believe. If you put it where it says, you will discover that it is where the intake close to the canopy. Do not follow instructions on this step like I did! I now have to cut the antenna out gingerly and install it in the right place, below the intake.…</p>

I now have to cut the antenna out gingerly and install it in the right place, below the intake. other than that, I am loving the build. I hope this helps someone in the process of their build. Find good pics for reference. I have fired off an email to Moebius to let them know.</p>

<p>Other than Moebius, Starfightershipyards, and Bad AZZ, is there anyone out there who makes resin Battlestar models? I am looking for more ships to build and a launch rail for my Mk1.</p>

<p>Well, I spoke with the folks at Moebius Models a little over a week ago about the possible drop date for the Raptor model. They told me then, maybe 7 more weeks. So at this point, maybe 5 weeks until we see a Raptor from them? I have had the kit and the armament kit on order for a while as I am sure many here have as well. Just putting this out there for anyone who might have been curious. I personally trying to resist the urge to pick up one from Bad-Azz models/jt-graphics.com but I…</p>

<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>So for about 2 weeks now I've been working on a design of the Osiris, an Orion class 'Pocket Battlestar' in a game called "Starmade" (Think Minecraft set in space). It's coming along very nicely, and I'm real proud of it. It's going to be fully armed and mobile, complete with screen-accurate everything except the addition of an energy shield matrix.
