SS Battlestar Australis

[JAWS MODELS]

Thanks you bunch of Tin Cans I appreciate the feedback. All the acrylic is cut by Laser Cutter. The modifications to them are done with a Dremel with cutting wheel. It gets pretty messy & you have to keep a steady hand. The straight cuts can be done with a Stanley knife but you have to score the line many many times to ensure a clean snap. Acrylic is vertually glass & can break as such.

So are the patterns you used a but off with the parts your using why the adjustment with the Dremal tool. Thanks for the insight

Yeah their not perfect & just need a little work. I'll fix them as I go. So I captured one of your Raiders & am going to discect it for my Engine bottom. A Studio Scale Raider was used to detail the bottom of the Galctica Engine section. If you didn't already know. More Dremel action

AAAAAAAAAAAAK!
ME RAIDER!?

That is cool, I didn't know a Raider was used on the Galactica??? Oh man, those tricky prop makers

[Red Eye]

Didn't know that as well...

It's somehow strange they've used Cylon model parts for building a Colonial Battlestar...

[GoldCylon]

No wonder we almost wiped out the fleet. They bought from Cylon Motors.

Up in a cloud of resin dust. The Raider has been dissasembled for use on my Battlestar lower engine deck
Just remember when cutting resin or drilling it to do it outside. Always wear a mask & goggles at the least. It gets very messy & resin dust is very harmful....

[Cylon-Knight]

Oh my... I think you've voided your Imperial warrantee on that Raider. The Imperious Leader won't accept any more claims from you haha

GREAT WORK! I'm still not sure about working with resin... can it hold detail all that well? I've only seen a few resin parts myself in person.

[Red Eye]

Thanks for the update.

Can't wait to see the installed Raider parts!

[GoldCylon]

Man I would hate to see how you fix a flat tire....LoL....but it looks great once it is fitted back together. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the insight of the dangers of the resin dust...cough cough...no more fur balls from me anymore.

Ok the baody is asembled & after 9 ours of neck & eye breaking work have scribed all the panel lines. gave it a splash of primer to check the work & Im loikin it so watch out Tin Can another Battlestar in productiono!!!!!

[Cylon-Knight]

WOW! Love the update - amazing work! Thank you for letting us watch along as you build the Battlestar


P.S. I see you used the new "10 image limit" per post... that work out okay for you?

[Red Eye]

GREAT! It's really coming together now!

[JAWS MODELS]

Lovin the 10 picture load up & that I don't have to reduce all the pictures any further than I have. Good move on the upgrades.

Do you sell the pattern layouts or schematics of the build?
