Very cool! I love it when our hobbies can be used to reach out to others. As an art teacher I interject Cylons in my lessons regularly!

As I have been working on BESSIE from CARS pretty extensively, I have left the Raider alone for awhile, but I did address another one of the things that bothers me about the kit decals. It may just be my bad red eye, but it seems the emblem on the side of the raider is supposed to be raised. Does anyone else agree? Anyway, here is the process of applying what is, to me, a better emblem.

I know I have been gone a heck of a long time, but I picked up where I left off with my raider. I had life issues, of course, and so near completion, I tended to let the building process go. Anyway, I am working towards final completion and thought I would post some new pics. Below are photos (sorry for image quality) of work I have done the past few days. I built this model way back when I was a child and just hated the seams. Older and more capable, I can finally deal with that awful flaw every modeler must deal with. LOL! Anyway, I hope this pleases the empire.

Here is a circuit I have built for my Viper model. I wish I had done it for the Raider!! It creates a vibrating, flickering effect so the propulsion is more than just the actual lighting. I am going to combine this and another circuit (with a 10mf of 50v capacitor) for the Galactica's propulsion units. I am working on the completed kit and hope to show pics very soon.

Very nice! Cool idea to have the lights flicker. Now, we need a video

And I want to actually complete the circuit, attach it to the LED mount and demonstrate it sometime over the weekend......
Oh...and I am LOVIN' Blood and Chrome, by the way!!! I hope the 1st Cylon War era Galactica comes out soon.....
