Sci-fi Modelling & Other Randomness
1/32 Mk II Viper from Battlestar Galactica
Even though I liked the 70s Battlestar Galactica, the re-imagined series blew me away. The gritty “realism”, internal politics and obvious desperation of a persecuted species drew me in and kept me watching week after week. Of all the Sci-Fi series I loved watching, this is the only one that I actually own in full on DVD. So, as I had a bit of a break from my current MSc, I decided to build the recently released 1/32 Mk II Viper model kit from Moebius.
In all it took two weeks of detailing and some modifications to the basic kit to finish. The full build diary can be found on SFM:uk, so I won’t repeat it here — it’s enough to say that this was a very enjoyable build and I’m very happy with the finished product.

It’s been a while since I posted anything and I have now completed three different builds that have been ongoing for a while! First up is the 1/20 Maschinen Krieger Krupp Kröte: Although the Kröte itself is finished, I still have to get around to completing the base and a figure to go with it. Next off the conveyor belt was the
1-hour Ma.K build!

Given my usual glacial building pace, this was an extreme challenge! The idea, devised by Homo Ferratus, had only three rules: You must use 1 Ping Pong ball! You must build it within 1 hour! Don’t cheat, watch the time! So, I ploughed through my sprues and bits and gathered a few things that might come in useful … After a manic

Playing around with Phởtoshop tonight using directions from www.myinkblog.com. A very nice effect that I think I’ll use again on some of my other model phởtos when they’re done. Tweet
