PNW_Modeler Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Here is my Colonial Viper Mk. I. This is the recent Revell "30th Anniversary" re-release. Scrambled to get this weathered and finished before my vacation... I have left off the clear pieces for the thrusters right now....I am searching for the right shade of blue and then I will paint the interiors of them and attach them. I am debating whether this one would look better on the stand sitting on my desk or if it should hang from the ceiling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ro-Gar Hobbies Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Look great, I am in the process of painting my Cylon Raider from Revell. Hope to have it weathered and completed before Sunday. I will post some pics as well. Regards, Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

niart17 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Great job! this is one of my all time favorite spacecraft, great design. so how does the kit go together? does it show that it's pretty old molds or is it a decent fit? oh, and i vote for the desktop display btw.

GreyGhost Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Nice work Paul ... I still prefer that Viper to the new show's Viper ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Docf225 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Looks great Paul. I like the Mk I Viper vs the new "pretty" Vipers too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Awesome! The Viper has always been one of my favorite spacecraft as well....obviously... :) I like the weathered look of the decals. You did a great job. Defintely going to have to add one of these to the stash... :) Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Fanatic Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 The funny thing is that if you look closely, on the desk in Cdr. Adama's quarters (new series, played by Eddie Olmos), There's a picture of young Adama (played by his son, Bodie Olmos, who also plays "Hot Dog") standing in front of a Viper with his two sons. The funny thing is that it's not a Mk. II Viper, but an F-16C Viper! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxtype Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Paul,awesome job on your Viper! . Because of your inspiration,I bought one of these plus some resin upgrade (landing gear) and a Female-type Viper Pilot............... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) I like the weathered look of the decals. Those decals were an absolute P-I-T-A to weather and scratch like that....they were so thick...in fact, MicroSol had virtually no effect on them at all Because of your inspiration,I bought one of these plus some resin upgrade (landing gear) and a Female-type Viper Pilot............... B) Right on....you gonna make Sheba's Viper? so how does the kit go together? does it show that it's pretty old molds or is it a decent fit? Bill, it actually goes together very nice.....I couldn't tell that it came from 30 year old molds. I am going to spruce up the stand for desktop display.... Thanks all for the kind words...glad you like it! Edited April 20, 2008 by paul.nortness Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks all for the kind words...glad you like it! Actually Paul,I'm thinking of something a bit different.Like maybe 5-10 years after the original,ignore Galactica:1980 ( :) ) so these will be new pilots in a new Squdron. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) maybe Sheba and Apollo's kid? Oh scratch that.....wasn't that Boxey? Wel...that kid was pretty girly, so it could work! Edited April 20, 2008 by paul.nortness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
