ichwillauch's build something entry - colonial shuttle
« on: January 06, 2017, 07:27:02 PM »
Hi all,

thought about a small spaceship for an upcoming rogue star game. After some research I would like to go for a colonial shuttle from the Battlestar Galactica series.

Ok, you've got my full attention.

Original series or reimagined? What scale?

Assuming you mean the Raptor, the top-left entry on this page should be of interest for inspiration and a design resource...

Ah, the original series shuttle - one of my favourites.

What scale are you thinking? In 1/48 it's massive, something like 20"

Great - you've definitely got my attention now, been meaning to make one of these for a long time so will be taking notes.

Interesting approach. I don't know BSG but a 21" model is a massive undertaking  :o  8)
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2024 = 32
(2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)

Step four: starting detailing the surface of the shuttle. The armor plates are looking wild at the moment.
