silvascoob Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Starship modeller has a poll running. What subjects from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series would you like to see produced as new kits from a mainstream manufacturer. From the buzz over there, it sounds like one of the big model companies is very interested in our input. You can choose 4 subjects from a list of ships, but you can only vote once.

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Any thoughts as to what the four winners will be? I'd LOVE to see the Pegasus but I'm not holding out for it.... Edited January 25, 2007 by Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silvascoob Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Well this has just been posted in the thread over there. Quote:"A little birdie tells me that it is unlikely (extremely unlikely) that Revell will devote the necessary tooling to do a Pegasus - in any scale- in the first run of kits. They're not going to get bitten by another 'one episode wonder' (OK- so it was a few more than that, but you get the point) like the Kazon Torpedo and Maquis Fighter. If the first run is profitable enough to encourage them to continue the license, then a smaller multi-ship set with Galactica and Pegasus, and maybe a Base star (or 2?) is a distinct possibility."

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'm with you, Mike! Always loved the Pegasus...even back in the old days. Loved her even more when she came into view for the first time in the new ones.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmike Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 As an aside. I just listened to the BSG season 2 soundtrack. The Colonial Anthem is simply the best piece of music I have heard in quite a while! What a wonderful tribute to the old series :wub: MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yeah, almost brought tears to the eyes to hear that layered into the whole thing...very, very nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 When I was first getting into music/composition/arranging in college, I wrote the theme for the marching band (didn't actually march it on the field, just played it sitting in the stands). Loved it. Really did the brass section up a treat.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathan Mock Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'd have to vote for the Pegasus as well, its a sweet looking ship. One of the best TV dramas in a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedHeadKevin Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Viper Mk2 for me, followed by the Raptor, then the Galactica, then the Viper Mk 7. I'd rather see the 4 main Colonial ships than the Peg, at least in the first run of the kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan Mock Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Seeing as a Firefly class transporter is seen in the opening episode on Caprica, is this a way of getting a kit of Serenity? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I think a figure model of the cylon warriors would be pretty cool. But unfortunately that wasn't a choice. Well that's my two cents. Another off subject kinda thing. I love the new BSG, but I'm a little concerned in the path the story is taking. It's getting really close to being too soap opera-ish IMHO (please don't tar & feather me for saying so) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Interesting...a figure of the new mechanical cylons...that would sell well in some circles, I'm sure.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All things considered BSG is still the best show on (or off in Australia) TV. Just hope that it continues through to the end without a hinderance. Too many great Sci-Fi shows get canned before there finished..... Here's hoping that those kits that were voting for do come into being, that would be great :lol: Edited February 2, 2007 by nimrod77 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gervasius Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Am I the only one here who voted for the bad guys? My first choice was a Cylon Basestar. Also, a heavy raider would be sweet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too many great Sci-Fi shows get canned before there finished. Amen to that. Watching the reruns of "Space 1999" on ITV4, I'm struck just how dark and pessimistic the first season was, the stories often exploring really interesting themes and ideas ("Black Sun" is a classic). Plus there are a few really icky moments that must have given the schedulers kittens, like Brian Blessed's smoking, bloody skeleton in "Where Death Has No Domain". It always amused how Trek fan-boys like Asimov and Ellison slagged the show off for "scientific inaccuracies" as if Trek was somehow rooted in real science. Besides, at least they had seat belts on the Eagles - in every Trek series up to and including Enterprise people were still flailing around the cockpits in swivel chairs! The less said about season 2 of S1999 the better though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
