The Galactica Bridge miniature
I recently decided after seeing a few awesome bridge builds I would make my own study model. This is a on going project that has spanned more than a few years. With the purchased I have enough to build 3 stations for Con photo ops of the original style of the Galactica Bridge. I also am seriously thinking about building a larger section if not the complete bridge for a few reasons. First in all large projects building a study model helps a lot to learn the ups, and down of building a full scale project. So building a 1/29th scale model ins the current task. Attached are a few varies stages of the build. A minor adjustment is visible in a few areas, and most notable to me is the upper floor section needed to be lowered to be correct scale. I have 10 man hours into this so far.

I want to know where the studio got a giant yogurt cup to support the main viewer deck? I think in early script drafts Adama was going to say, "Positive graham cracker box, now!"
All joking aside, awesome work!

Nice catch on the cups, but these are cottage cheese w/pineapple cups 16 oz size.
Now a bit of a change up. The cups were the wrong height so I had to make some adjustments to the next section, and the rotation platform, and the stairs down.

That little bridge needs some little Warriors!

Still working on this project, but moved onto a LARGER version. I almost doubled the size, and I thought it would be easier. Wrong this is a lot slower, and the cost for the larger off the shelf parts cost has climbed up also. I am still real happy with the results.
