Battlestar Galactica Mod

[Boddaker]

"The details are details. They make the product.
The connections, the connections, the connections.
It will in the end be these details that give the product its life."

Another appropriate quote I found. This one is a bit more obscure, but see if you can get it. You are free to use Google too.

Here we go, more detail pieces. These will run along both edges of the top armor panel.
I cut a bunch of wedges off a piece of styrene, then a bunch of smaller wedges from a tiny piece
of scrap .040 sheet.
It looks tedious, but once I got going, it didnt' take long. I had to make 28 of them.

Gluing the small wedge onto the big wedge.

I used a piece of tape to keep all the small wedges in place until it was time to use them.

All 28.

Gluing them to the top panel.

I had this package of detail pieces lying around, so I thought I would throw some onto the armor.
I will be doing some kit-bashing later.

Glued in place.

...And primed.

Here's a few shots of the landing bay on the case.

The top being pretty much done (other than final paint), I started on the interior panels, which will include support beams with lighting.



Oh, and the answer to the previous quote quiz is: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

That is actually a good question. I am not modeling this from any specific part of the actual ship. I'm basically creating the mod "in the style of" the galactica, taking cues from different parts (disk array and some armor panels is from the main ship body, etc).
