Blood & Chrome, Gold & Silver

Colonials!

I hope the week has been treating all well.

A huge welcome & thank you to all of our new members as well, welcome aboard...gather 'round the fire & take a moment to talk story and meet your fellow constiuents at the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club.

Some news to share with all of you...and without tipping my hat too much on this...there is some Galacticon 3 news to share with you...the first thing is that we have SOLD OUT on our Gold memberships!

But not to worry, we have great plans still available...our Silver membership option is currently at the attractive price of $87.00....and that gets you in for the full weekend tour (and we do count that Friday as part of the weekend!)...what's more is that when you buy a G3 membership of any flavor, you also get a pass into ComicPalooza our sister Con...for the duration of you G3 pass!

Won't cost you a cent extra, gratis in other words.

That is two Cons for the price of one..!

Can't make it for the full weekend? No problem, we have daily memberships as well...(see, we have it covered!).

For ALL who don't know...we just announced Rehka Sharma as our newest guest...you knew that right?...so our news right now is that we are winding up for another BIG announcement very, very soon to compliment that one...here's where I don't tip my hat too much....I can't tell you the details yet!

Got your attention I bet...:-)

Keep watching...keep waiting...I promise very, very soon...

Other news of note...Richard Hatch will be appearing at Anaheim WonderCon March 29th-31st in of course Anaheim California...and will be conducting a Battlestar Galactica 35th Anniversary Special Panel on the Friday the 29th at 1230pm...so don't miss it.

Richard will be signing autographs of course & will be offereing his "Apollo to Zarek" CD for the discerning fan.

You can find the link to Richard's CD on the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club site & also on BattlestarGalactica.com so check it out!

OK, on to the festivities...for all you new members...every week we select a Hero of Battlestar Galactica & like the stars in the skies, they never end...and this being no exception to the rule, we are this week making note of a most gracious actress who played a VERY pivotal role in the re-imagined series....it's a testament to her acting skills that she had everyone talking about her character...some hated her, some loved her and plenty thought she was just misunderstood....having played a variety of characters from Star Trek to True Blood...she became the brooding Admiral Helena Cain...this weeks award goes to Michelle Forbes!

So Say We All!

Hi, gang... 

                         Yeah, before anyone says anything, I've been MIA for quite a bit... I know.  Been involved in a lot of frakkin' legal felgercarb as of late.  My last entry mentioned my attempt to put a fence around my property due to stray dogs bothering my own dog... well, gods damn it, I wasn't fast enough.  My dog was attacked quite badly, and by a neighbor's dog that had gotten loose. He was bitten badly in 5 places... Once on the throat, twice on the chest, once on his right front leg, and once at the base of his tail. When Animal Control trapped the dog after a week, the bastard (excuse my French) had the brazen pogees to say that it wasn't HIS dog!!  When his frakking NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER WERE ON THE DOG'S ID TAG!!!  I just spent 2 weeks in court suing the jackass to make him pay for my dog's medical bills!!  I swear... I don't normally like to use the word, but sometimes I really HATE people.  Plus, if you add in the fact that my hours at work are all screwed up and nobody in Management can agree on a set shift schedule... and this last month has been HELL ON EARTH for me.  So I hope you can understand my absence, guys.  I hope to be around more often real soon, so, thanks for being patient with me.

Hi Everyone in the BFC Universe,

 

I built my first Moebius Viper Mk-II almost a year and a half ago. Now that I have become the Flying Tiger's Squadron Leader I'm building a couple more Mk-II's to resemble the awesome Group Emblem created by none other than Dragon Lady, Actual of the Battlestar Raven.

Flying Tigers Squadron

I am using the shark mouth and flying tiger decals from Revell's 1/48 scale P-40B Tiger Shark model kit. I plan on using Testors clear decal paper to make my own call sign, tail number and the Battlestar's name "Raven" for my new Viper's

Does anyone know the correct Font used to create the decals I need to make? Here are a couple photos of my first Mk-II showing the decals I need to duplicate: Raven in place of Galactica

Thanks,

Hi Everyone in the BFC Universe,

I recently read a post asking how to send Viper test answers to Admiral Rivera. Those of you curently training as Viper and Raptor pilots know that both manuals contain 9 chapters. The test is broken down in 9 sections as well. I guess the problem is that each section in the test starts off at number 1. This is how I submitted my answers.

 

First, in your E-mail, greet Admiral Rivera and tell him which test you have completed, the Battlestar and Squadron you serve with. Next, the heading for each training manual is either VTM for Viper and RTM for Raptor. I simply used this format in my E-mail to the Admiral: 

 

VTM Test Answers:

VT-101 (this is the first chapter title)

1. A       Note: A is not the correct answer for the questions! ! ! ! You need to figure it out yourself! ! ! !

2. A

3. A

4. A

5. A

6. A

7. A

8. A

9. A

10. A

 

VT-102

1.

2.

And so on for each chapter of the test. Some chapters have less than 10 questions to answer and a couple chapters omit some of the numbered questions; don't ask why, I don't know.

Remember, the prize if you have a perfect score is "Top Gun" and you earned your "Senior Wings." Make your commander proud and achieve the coveted "Top Gun" status. SO SAY WE ALL! ! ! ! ! !

The 13Th Colony wants Richard Hatch at their con!  A group of Classic Colonial Warriors would be at Vancouver Fan Expo reporting for duty to the original Apollo!   And I heard also a nice group of Reimagined BSG fans will be jogging around the con wearing double-tank tops and trek pants.  "Make a hole!"

Valorie Hoye fan club president's quote :

"We did a poll over at 13th Colony's Facebook page and (Vancouver's BSG Fan Club) and the clear winner for "Which guest would you like to see at FanExpo?" was Richard Hatch. We're thrilled Michael Hogan is lined up this year, but since we celebrate BSG in all its incarnations, we thought we'd ask. Thanks!"
