The beer keg is to keep it from rolling around. Each end is support 4 ft off the ground by a 2 inch metal pipe 16 feet long going down the center of the frame.

Re: My full scale Viper build.
Clear the decks. The Viper is about to be fueled for full on attack, and I need your help. In the past recent purchases the cost of materials has risen to points that have almost double since this project as begun. So I am reaching out to help counterbalance the financial attack with a donation drive. Feel free to ask questions, or just go over and check it out, and make a donation.
Thank you all in advance for your support, and help.

Doug come on back over next time you are in town, and take a look.

Re: My full scale Viper build.
Sorry nothing new. I was expecting a production company to help, but they back out and delayed my progress. I might get this back up and running soon.

Re: My full scale Viper build.
My house isn't for sale, but I have been asked to sell it twice in the past 10 days. One of the offers is coming by tomorrow to take a look. I am motivated to sell with a generous offer. That can be used to finish this project off for G4.

Re: My full scale Viper build.
OK back on track, and an all new build. Using my cockpit from Space Above and Beyond (SAAB) and a all new front end the work has begun.

Re: My full scale Viper build.
As I mentioned before, I'm happy you are taking a new look at this. Although not 100% accurate the 'inspired' version should fit right in with the type of fan base that is BSG. Cylons and Colonials are a supportive bunch.
Glad you are getting some heavy duty welding going. Something that size needs strength and a good frame.
