LSP_K2 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 A bit of a crude effort in Photoshop that will tide me over until I can take better photos. Kev Crude? Looks great to me K1. (I have Photoshop 7.0 with about 150 plug-ins, and can't figure out any of it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks guys! Still waiting for time and weather to allow me to take some better photos. Maybe on the weekend. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hey Kev..now look what you've done !... Can you spot the Viper ? LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hey, that's cool Vaughn! I built the original Viper kit back when they were new. Would love to knock out another one. Where did the Star Fury drawings come from? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hold onto your hat Kev, Moebius is releasing all new tool original series BSG kits ! The Viper should be out by mid summer, the Raider by fall and the Big G by Christmas. The drawings are blowups from the B-5 Security Manual. From talking with people who worked on the meshes used for the show, the drawings are about as close as you will get to what was seen on screen. I did them up to 1/32 size ...can you guess why ?

Guest Peterpools Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Kev Tremendous finish ... just love it and the best way I know of to keep the juices flowing. :thumbsup: BTW, nice photoshop work ... it sure is the way to go for posting the final images. Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Edited April 17, 2013 by Peterpools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Viper should be out by mid summer, the Raider by fall and the Big G by Christmas. That's cool! I won't likely be able to afford them unfortunately, and I have to confess to a strong nostalgic hankering for the old Revellogram kits! The drawings are blowups from the B-5 Security Manual. From talking with people who worked on the meshes used for the show, the drawings are about as close as you will get to what was seen on screen. I did them up to 1/32 size ...can you guess why ? Hey, that's even cooler! I hope you'll share it with us when it happens! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 OK fellas, I finally got a chance to take some better photos today, and here are the results after a bit of processing in Photoshop:And my favourite:Thanks everyone for looking in!Kev Gazzas and Hogzilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Beautiful work ! I'd be proud to have that sitting on my display shelf. Vaughn LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks Vaughn! I now have to decide what my next sci-fi project will be. I don't really have much to choose from at the moment though: an old AMT X-Wing and a couple of 1/1000 Enterprise kits (NCC-1701) from Polar Lights. My wife has all the cool sci-fi kits! In any case, I've got a few other builds to crack on with, so they can wait. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Kev Just love it. Some really wonderful work and the finish is fantastic. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage the Owl Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Kev, You asked if there are any really great SF kits out there. Either of the Polar Lights 1/350 Enterprise kits (the refit is my favourite) are very good & accurate as are the Moebius BSG stuff as well as their Seaview & Jupiter II models. The really good stuff though tends to come from the garage producers so unfortunately can be a bit pricey. One of my favourites is Cassini designs Skydiver model from Gerry Anderson's UFO, a real beauty! http://www.cassinidesign.com.au/Models%20Index.html Nice build of the Babylon station, i've one in the stash but better kits keep pushing it to the bottom of the pile, literally!

LSP_Kevin Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks again fellas. Sage, I've heard good things about the Polar Lights 1/350 Enterprise kits, though I wouldn't know where to put one. Thanks for the link too. Pricey indeed! But I was pleasantly surprised to see that Cassini is an Australian endeavour. Cool! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
