Thanks y'all

Major modifications today

Most major mod is that I have been trying to find somewhere to use this piece for years... so she has a new nose

Here is the mockup of the engines

And new lower greeblies

And, of course, major putty fu

Oh yeah I made both wings and tail bigger

What is this? It's clearly two wide to fit in the Galactica's launch tubes! You obviously have no idea of what you're doing! Read the BSG flight manual!

I love the nose, and the pincer wings! The engines are great, too - what are they from?

arkon · « **Reply #17 on:** October 27, 2012, 06:47:02 AM »

that new nose looks like a naboo starfigher,is it?
looks great!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #18 on:** October 27, 2012, 06:56:32 AM »

That wonderful nose modification demonstrates the amazing innovating thinking you're known for!

Things like this make me feel I'm in the presence of greatness.

Thanks all y'all I must admit that both the engines and the nose are from some various Japanimation models that I have collected over the years. I am embarrassed to admit that I don't remember which show or craft they are from

$:-\$

I am not a big Anime fan but will buy anything I think has a cool shape or detail I can scavenge

Yet another masterpiece in the making! :)

You should send a photo portfolio of your work to ILM.

Nice one Ron!

I recognise the nose and engines, in fact I even think I have the same kit, but I can't put a name to them off the top of my head.
