watched the night the cylons landed and at the end when troy and Dillon were shooting at our heroes they were taking cover
behind the large cylinder thing they used in the return of starbuck as part of the escape pod.

Nice work rusty! I'll be rewatching the show now to see the reuse. Too cool.

I think the same cylinder thingy was reused in several episodes of "Buck Rogers" as well...

Just made a screencap of the reused cylinders:

there is also one cylinder in front of the crashed cylon raider.

You're correct. Looks like it was a multi-purpose item...

was that crashed raider built especially for the episode?.

Yes it was.

Before that, only the cockpit existed as full-sized set piece:

They clearly saved the best for last, but unfortunately they just didn't know how to park it.

Such a shame all that time and money building a full size raider and they only got to use it once in one episode

got the pod on my trailer

Nice!

Are you going to display it anywhere else?

possibly next year.

Very cool!

A trailer pod....oh yeah.
