Ships of the Fleet
From the begin I was hooked. Battlestar Galactica aired when I was ready to absorb any and all science fiction that they would put on the tellie. Battlestar was one of the best. It was unfortunate that the show only lasted one season. The was suppose to carry the last of the human race on 220 ships. As massive as the fleet looks on camera, we only really get to see little more than 20 ships. I’ve always wanted to see more ships. Deciding this to be a long term project, I have the opportunity to built my own rag tag fleet. If nothing else it’s an excuse to scratchbuild spaceships of varying shapes and even take some creative license and cross continuities. The only rule we will follow will be that of scale. Everything will be in scale, or as close as possible to the Galactica model.
- This was inspired by the Cylon Tanker featured in the pilot episode.
- S.S. Stubing?, Taurian Sundrift?
- The cockpit is from an AT-AT, the body from the MIR space station.
- The Agro Ship or to the Sci-Fi fanatic the Valley Forge. I always wanted to see Huey, Duey or Luey stashed in the backround.
- Part Red Dwarf, part Space Academy.
- The Rag Tag Fugitive Fleet
I just built this Valley Forge ship. It turned out so well . I made a few revisions to it such as a solar generator and landing pad for shuttles. You can see it on many of the star trek fan sites for models and model making.I would show you a pic but not sure how to upload it.
