Number of filming Raiders?

Post by Cylon-Knight » Sat Nov 21, 2009 9:04 pm

Anyone know - or - hear of any guesses at how many filming Raiders there were? (Classic BSG - OF COURSE)

I would think there were at least three (if not more) - so they could do the classic three Raider formation/roll... the rest of the Raiders in attacks were probably just the same ones thanks to special effect tricks.

Any thoughts? What do you other Cylons think/know???

Just read this article...

It contains the best and most detailed informations about the original series' filming miniatures I've ever seen...

No problem. The article was originally posted by Bishop37 on the forums at Colonial Fleets.

I haven't read over the posted pages, but if I recall there were 6 Raiders. Not sure if that is in the article or not.

I read it just now - they mention to their knowledge only 4 Raiders were made. (Vipers, there were 7.)

They note the Monogram Basestar model was a reduced copy of the original Basestar... and is very accurate.... hummmm makes me want to get one more!
