Thanks, Dude!

Itīs done, itīs again on first place. This feels better now. :)

I think your Battlestar should be on first place in your ranking of your best creations.

Thanks!

Congrats on MOTD!

Thanks, Chief!

Second, actually. The first was about four years ago, I think. Thanks for the kind words!

It was a shock! Thanks, Clayton!

Why thank you, Topsy!

That's what SHE said! Thanks, Matt!

Thanks!

: )

Thanks, Firas!

So say we all!

Thanks! It's been years!

Thanks for the great comment!

Thanks, Dude! Funny, I almost missed it, since I'm not getting the email notifications for some reason.

Congratz to this awesome motd!

Congratulations on your first MOTD, El Barto. I'm sorry for not being able to see more of your works lately, but with a girlfriend, trying to maintain my business in the real world, and some other things, I haven't had the time to take a look at all of your work, so keep up the good work and never forget to always improve your work when you build, sir.

Congratulations El Barto on MOTD! It's great to see the Galactica on the home page!

Always wonderous to behold! Congratulations on this MOTD! :)

It just keeps getting better every time I see it. Frakking awesome!

Awesome Battlestar.

Congrats on MotD!

That's the kind of MOCS I'd like to see on the front page. Congrats on MOTD!

...and so the epic saga begins...

MOTD! Congratz Barto, a very nice view on the homepage :)

Congrats on a very well deserved MOTD. The design, building technique, detailing, and photographic artistry make this a museum quality masterpiece. Kudos to you and your 200+ likes, every one richly deserved. Bravo and well done.

Now this is a MOTD! And power into the 200's!

Thanks for checking it out! I'm afraid there are no instructions. In fact, my memory of the construction is pretty vague, other than a technic skeleton with plate panels. Commission, eh? Well, that's a whole other topic. How much are you willing to spend? ; ) I would guess on parts somewhere around $4K.

El Barto, is there any way to purchase the build instructions or commission one of these?

Thanks for the kind words! Wow, five years...

Great work of Lego "Battlestar Galactica" creationism! I second all the positive comments you have received, over 200 Likes, and even though I am a little late: Happy 5 Year MOCiversary!

Two hundred likes, whoohooo!

Thanks for the kind words! Hey, since you're done with the show, you should read my BSG The Next Chapter series. Picks up where the show left off!

I didn't watch Galactica when I first saw this so I was like "cool, I guess" Fast forward to today where I have binged BSG and built my own plastic model This is one of the greatest creations on MOCpages and I'm really not joking.

Thanks!

Fantastic presentation, and superb BGS!

Thanks, Tirrell!

Amazing!

Thanks for the comment, Dude! It certainly was a challenge with the multiple angle planes. I use Gimp for photoediting. I started a group a couple of years ago if you're interested in starting.

This ship is a great example of angle and detail! I'm amazed to see so much detail and characterization in a LEGO MOC. This definitely deserves to be MOTD! Keep up the fantastic work! . . also what program did you use for the green screening?

Thanks for the great comment! Lots of trial and error, for sure, to get those angles.

Awesome!! The level of detail is astounding! It's amazing how you have everything angled so perfectly! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Dude!

This rocks! Brilliant bricking.

I revisit it from time to time, too. Thanks again, Dude!

Revisiting this masterpiece, stunning work!

Thanks, Dude! This is where it all started!

Super cool. I love the show, and this is just epic.

Thanks! Got plenty of those in the Next Chapter series, Chief! Hangar deck, CIC, crew quarters, med lab, you name it.

Very nice ship could use some interior shots though.

About 1500 meters, in fact (140 studs +/-). Thanks for checking it out!

Wow,it Looks like a very big ship with many armament

Thanks, Dude!

WOW! Thats Amazing :)

Thanks for checking out the Galactica! It's fun looking around the pages to see what other people are into, so it's my pleasure to comment on your creations.

El Barto, wow. I know i've looked at all of your creations, and even though it's been said many times, "WOW!" Thank you for gracing my humble creations. It means a lot.

Exactly. I really liked the first episode.

Yep, that's where it all begins! "You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question, why? Why are we as a people worth saving?"

I'm watching the one where it is after the war with the Cylons and the Galactica is being turned into a museum, when suddenly the Cylons attack again.

Thanks, Dude! Are you watching the pilot miniseries?

I recently watched some Battlestar Galactica last night, and this looks so realistic. Great job!

Thanks!

Awesome galatica !

Thanks!

Nice work, made more glaktyc ships

Thanks for the great comment, Nathan! It might be awhile until the next post, though. But I'm working on it!

Wow. you have made a bsg fan out of me, spectacular, your comics are awesome as well. you have me checking my Email EVERY day for your bsg posts!!

Thanks, Dude!

Looks massive! Awesome job :D

Thanks! Take a look around, you may change your mind ;)

I`m not a BSG fan, But that is AWESOME!

I thought it was pretty awesome, and it will air on TV in February. Depending on how it does in the ratings, it may become a series, who knows... Instructions? You mean it's not obvious from the pics?

I have seen on Youtube Blood & Chrome. I like it really, I hope there's a complete show, but it looks bad, right? When do you make an instruction for your Galactica? :)

Yeah, the eye roll, I get that a lot... But she watches the Hallmark Channel, so that makes us even... Thanks for the comment, Dude!

Everytime I get the bug to build, I come here. This is just aw inspiring. My wife rolls her eyes, but she knows someday i'll get there.

Good to hear from another BSG fan! If you've got the time, check out my series that picks up where the show left off. And when you're done your Raider, post it in this group: http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/13658 Thanks for the comment!

I love this. You're entire spin on BSG is amazing! I am currently tweaking a cylon raider, I will let you know when it's done. I am glad I started making it before I saw your raiders....I probably would have copied you too much!

Ah yes, the one with the Senator from X-Men. Season 3 has some slow points, but not to worry, season 4 picks right up, back into the action!

I will, I will. Oh and I've started watching the reimagined series from the pilot to the end, im on The Woman King in series 3.

I agree all the way! Yes, I do remember that tidbit of information. In fact I actually still have an original warriors jacket from back in the day! I was a big fan back then, but the 2003 series is far superior, not only in set/tech but in the acting/scripts. The show floundered, especially as it reached it's end in the 1980 fiasco. But many were disappointed with how the reimagined series ended. That's why I started my own series in Lego. It's got its own folder, and they're all linked in order. You should check it out!

amazing, i am a big fan of BSG, though i do have a preference about the era. I think that in my pinion the most recent series is brilliant. Not to be rude but the series from the 70's was a little camp for my tastes. Did you know that the person who plays Tom Zarek in the recent series actually played apollo in the 70's series? well, there you go fact fans.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! It's really not that difficult. I invited you to a photo editing group. If you don't already have a program, I suggest GIMP, it's free. Check out the conversation threads, a few brief tutorials. Any questions, just ask, the group is pretty helpful. Have fun!

Superb creation! I'm very envious of your photoshop skills too, I'd love to be able to do a nice background like those for The Black Widow;) fantastic build!

Don't get fresh now!

Dimpled for her pleasure? ... wait ...

Why thank you!

Studs! How appropriate! Hee, hee! :)

Thanks!

Wow! very impressive.

And 100% Lego! Thanks for checking it out!

Big! Its huge! 5/5

Thanks, Tomi!

Watch it all!!!Great stuff!!I would give 10/10!!!!

Thanks!

Dude! Thats awsome! I actually like the look of studs. :D

Hooray! It's up! take a look ;)

Hey, I finished making my battlestar, but I'd like to touch up the photo's a bit, any way you'd be willing to help me with that? Or supply some tips?

I see you're already in the Rocket Surgery Group. All you need is to download Gimp, it's free. Read the First Victim thread, and the Gimp thread, and you should be all set to get started. Feel free to ask questions in the group, too, if you have any problems. Have fun!

Thanks for the comment!

Absolutely glorious! An amazing replica in all respects.

Oh yes! I don't know much about BSG but after reading your series I have become quite interested, and it's got me to start to build my own battlestar, I'll have to do it mini since thats what i'm good at, but I wanted to give thanks for you inspiring me to get involved in BSG it's very wonderful!

Sounds good, also, when I do load it up, would you mind if I call it the "Maverick" after your callsign?

It's you ship, Dude! But they do tend to use the Greek gods' names, just so you know.

Glad to have steered you in the BSG direction! I suggest you watch the 2003 Miniseries, it kicks off the first of four seasons. I'll keep an eye out for your project!

Sounds good!

Don't worry dude, I have something cool I'm going to post very soon. I've spent all my actual Mocing time on this one project but it will be worth it. You will just have to be patient my friend.

Thanks for checking it out!

This is so grate.I love it.

Thanks, Dude!

Holy Shizu that's big! All... All the details... It's just amazing... *Jaw hits the floor*

And heavy! Almost 25 lbs. Thanks for checking it out!

This is frakking huge.

I thought it needed that texture. Thanks!

thought i've commented on this for a long while ago... A really beautiful ship! Especially the way you used the studs outside for it's extraordinary look!

Thanks, JW!

Very nice work mate keep it up!

I've still got some of the toys from back in the day, even a warrior's jacket! Thanks, Dude!

Wow! Excellent work! I've been a BSG fan since the 70's. I love your work.

Thanks!

Wow, that's a great model. The curves are spot on - very, very nice indeed.

Lots of trial and error over the course of the year it took me to finish this. She's about 140 studs long, 24 lbs, give or take. I've got three other sets of pics, check 'em out! Thanks for the comment!

WOW, photoshop really gives you an edge, doesn't it? Amazing ship, how long is it in studs? This must have been a hard design, with all the curves and such, this deserves more likes!

Probably the better part of a year, give or take, ordering parts along the way. Thanks for stopping by!

This is extreme man!! How long did it take for you to make this masterpiece?

Thanks, Paula!

This is an Awesome build!

You know, I loved that show when I was a kid, still have the toys, and even a jacket! But watching the re-runs of the old show, they really pale in comparison to the new series. Can't wait for Blood and Chrome!

My better half has only seen the recent incarnation, I must try and get hold of the original series, she'd love it - if I can drag her out of the LEGO room for long enough to watch it...

Thanks, Jon! Almost finished watching the series, again. I just don't get tired of it!

About time I commented on this, been seeing it on and off for a while now! Brilliant build, you captured Galactica perfectly in shape and texture - really brings back happy memories of a great show!

Thanks, Chief! Feel free to look around, we're open all day!

The ship itself is just amazing!!

Glad you liked it!

Very very good!

Thanks!

SWEET!!! Battlestar, very accurate & your backgrounds really bring your MOC alive. [MAY THE BRICKS BE WITH YOU]

Thanks again for the kind words! Over the past couple of years, I've added some bits, and redone some others, but more or less the same. Those angles in the head section really confounded me for a long time. Have a great New Year!

It's a crime that I haven't commented on this yet. Your ridiculous skills are evident in this build, and strange angles are everywhere. The small details and greeblework make this stand out, while the innovative techniques truly make it pop. Great work!

Beautiful work, a perfect recreation of an iconic Battleship!

Thanks for the kind words!

No time for that anyway, but thanks for letting me know! I would think a simple Viper virtual pilot would be fun, target practice maybe.

woops, i'm back, I ended up trying that online game, not really good, in fact, it really sucks. So your lucky you have not played it, bad game, just wanted to warn you against checking it out.

I am looking for 1, 2, 3 or four nice pics for introducing the Titan... I would obviously provide you hi-res pictures with nice angles! I'm sorry to ask you that, but... when I see your pics! =)

Thanks again for the comment! Not a big deal, what are you after?

by far your best MOC! My friend, would you help me? Would you show me your talent on photoshopping on the Titan? I want to ask you to make a good main pic for Titan. I know I'm asking a lot! See ya, dude!

Nope, never have...No time with the production schedule and all...Thanks for the comment!

Thanks! That's a good one with the Cylon, too. Even toaster need to eat, right?

I don't think I've rated/commented on this so,good-no,great job on this!Anyways,here's something I thought you would like/find funny: http://black-frames.net/i-skyg0

Thanks a lot, Justin! Feel free to look around, take your time, there's lots to see.

WOW...this is AMAZING:D I can't belive i'm just hearing if you!!! Your for sure one of my favorite builders;)

Truly Phenomenal !!>....your space lego collection must be second to none !.....

Nope, no interior details other than just inside the flight pods. Mostly hollow, actually, but solid around the flight pod arms. Thanks for the comment!

That is an epic ship!Does it have interior details or is it solid???

Too kind! Not true, but it's nice of you to say!

Awesome! Thanks, Dude!

Thought I would get the WAGON"'s rating to 100 for you. Congratulations for your New Posting on MMM.

Thanks for the great comment, Paul! Looking forward to more episodes of your story, too!

This is really stunning work! I'm not really a big Battlestar fan, but to not-like this would be criminal! Your storytelling is absolutely top-notch, and frankly, doesn't get the credit it deserves. Thanks for your support, and here's my contribution to getting 100 likes:)

Thanks, Zack! I built and rebuilt so many parts of this to get the right proportions. In some of the shots, due to the macro setting I guess, it looks kind of stretched. Glad you liked it!

Outstanding job on getting the shape of this creation. It has many really nice slants and curves very good job on this ship.

Glad you liked it!

Breathtaking.

Thanks, Dude!

Wow! Excellent! This is fantastic!

Thanks!

You've got a real talent for space fantasy! Great build!

Thanks for checking it out! Good luck!

Epic is an over used word on this site but this is truly Epic. Fantastic details throughout. I love the guns and lazer cannons. Thank you for your kind words on my Firebird. Round 2 will be an even bigger challenge :)

Heard a lot about BSG over the years but have never seen it. After seeing your MOC's I decided to start watching it. I am now on season 2 and my wife is hooked. It is a good source for inspiration on some future MOC's of my own. I have been playing around with photo editing a bit more but still getting used to it. Need to work on lighting and shading. My brother is in the visual effects industry so I might recruit him for help. I have been going to my brother for advice. He has worked on movies like, Thor, X-Men First Class, and the Underworld series. If yoyu get a chance check out: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/286925 I pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I sure will, smiley face - :). I will take some days before all the content is downloaded though... sad face - :(

My wife finally admitted that BSG was superior to Sx in the City after sitting through both shows on DVD. I bet your brother will come in real handy!

You won't be disappointed! Let me know what you think of it.

Thanks El Barto, I just started downloading the content. I'm a huge fan of Sci-Fi, especially Star Wars. But also the Alien movies and similar stuff.

I suggest watching the Reimagined TV Series from 2003. It starts with a two hour 'movie', and the show progresses from there; four seasons and several specials. The Original Series is certainly nostalgic for those of us who watched it as children back in the 70's, but really pales in comparison to the new show. Thanks for the comment!

Hello El Barto, I've never actually seen the Battlestar Galactica TV-series or films, but I really want to, because then I will probably better understand what all the amazing MOC's are you've built here. Should I just start watching the TV-series? Or better something else?

Thanks, Eric! It certainly was a challenge with the texture and angles. It took a lot of experimenting!

Stunning, breathtaking, jaw dropping, etc.!!! :D This is an amazing moc. I really love the creativness in the techniques you used to build this. I looked at official pictures and you pulled this off perfectly!

Glad you like it!

Looks just like it!

Much appreciated!

Thanks, Chief!

Congratulations for your Award dude!

It is never to late but congrates dude !!! I told you that you deserve it !!!

Thanks, Chief! And thanks for the support!

Congratulations on the award, buddy. Your storyline just had to win the category! ~M

Thanks, Ced! It's pretty exciting!

Congratulations on your recent EPIC win!

Thanks for the great comment! It took a lot of building and rebuilding to get it where I wanted it. Glad you like it!

Did I never rate and comment on this!? :O This is truly one of the most amazing ships I've ever seen! Perfectly detailed and especially the overall shape is perfect!

Thanks, Dude! It was a bugger, that's for sure.

Interesting solution to some complicated design elements. I had thought of building the BSG at one point, but was stymied by how to build the ridges in the scale I was thinking. Lovely job. Lee.

Thanks! Master of MY domain, at least I like to think so... ; )

nice! the ship's awesomeness is tripled by the addition of that background; you're a master!

I suggest renting the miniseries, or netflix or whatever. I bet you'll be hooked. The ship is more like a submarine in space than it is anything like Trek ship. That's right up your alley, eh?

Very nice vaisseil though I didn't see the serie at all!

Thanks! It took me forever to figure out how to get all those different angles in the bow section. Glad you liked it!

Wow! this is very cool especially how you used the plates for the hull, you really got a excellent design. Love the turrets on top and the naccels as well, 10/5

Thanks!

Really nice!

The whole rib thing was quite a challenge. Thanks!

That is just stunning! The best BSG I've seen on MOC. I love how you managed the ribs all along the top and side. Extremely cool.

Thank you so much for the comment!

WOW- amazing MOC! This is an inspiring piece to all the young builders.

Thanks, Jay!

You always had support for my sub, and you have big and awesome constructions too! This is a pleasure to give you the 5! :-)

I actually went back and revised them. Thanks!

I always liked the big guns on the top, and you nailed em! Great work!

'Bout 140 X 56, give or take, and around 24lbs. Thanks for checkin' it out!

Sick nasty awesome! What is it's total length? In studs I mean.

Thanks for the comment! Talk more, on it!

wow! nice work! I've never watched the series but the ship seems pretty design accurate! By the way, could you talk a little more in the group "Elite Starship Designers"? You're a moderator so if you could talk some more I would sure appreciate it!

Yes, I updated the Main Batteries a month or two ago. More accurate, I think, although not as smooth. Close ups, old and new, are in this series: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/185807 No plans to take her apart. Glad you like it, and thanks for the kind words!

Did you refit those gun turrets? They look different from the last time I spent countless hours lusting after this fracking incredible creation. If I'm not imagining things, think I like the old style better, at least on a 2-d internets image. It took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at; thought at first the Cylons might have snuck in an extra attack when I wasn't looking. In any case, I'm STILL frackin' stunned by this thing. If you ever disassemble it (gods forbid!) take pictures and detailed notes - you'll get HUGE $$$ for the plans. From me alone.

Thanks for the comment-- Just the reaction I was looking for!

Ummmmm may I just start my comment off with the following: "Holy crud this thing is fricking amazing!!" And now on to what I like: the engine design is brilliant, the shaping is exactly right, and the background editing fits perfectly to boot! well done mate, this is sheer brilliance!

Approximating those curves was tough. At a slightly larger scale it might be easier, but that ain't gonna happen. Thanks, Dude!

Very nicely done. Excellent work on teasing out the curves and hangar entrances.

Thanks! Go and check out the Miniseries!

This is definitely incredible, and although i don't watch Battle star Galactica or even know much about it, i can see this ship is A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y Amazing!

Yes, yes, after this was done, I was hooked!

Ah... so this is where it started. Nice SHIP!

OK!

As long as you aren't a Cylon, it's cool.

I love the use of bionicle parts in the greeblies.. wanna be allies?? if not thats ok.

excellent, amazing detail and greebles as well.

Thanks! More greebles, more fun!

Thanks!

Wicked cool!!

It's about 140 by 56 or so at the widest. About 24 lbs, so it's pretty solid, especially for being quite hollow! Good luck with your project!

What are the stud and brick dimensions of your Galactica? It seems to be a good scale for a ship of its sizes and I am thinking of making the Battlestar Valkyrie in the same scale but i need to know your measurements to determine the scale. Thanks

Thanks! I think it required a total of two birthdays, a Christmas, and a Fathers' Day!

Great detail, love the ship! If only I could have one of THOSE for my birthday...

wow, that has heaps of detail! - Mountain Boy

Thanks, Dude!

Thanks!

Thanks, Marc! I don't know about all that, but your Ex has plenty of Wow factor. But now you need to get into the BSG theme!

Congrats man, on the win of the 'The Space and Sci-fi lego Fan Club' contest. Although there was as good as no competition, due to a lack of participation, your beauty here is the deserved winner. As you entered the contest, I knew my Excelsior had no chance, the Galactica is just too awesome! Hats off, my firend!

There's an anti-stud faction out there, but I'm cool with it. Thanks for the kind words!

Good lord this is epic. Now I'm starting to hum the theme song, which is going to be a problem soon, as I head to dinner. Now why would it even come up to hide the studs on a beauty like this? I'm not much for pic backgrounds, but if there is a place it works, it's here.

Thanks! Yes, insane amount of time, in fact. Multiple rebuilds and all that kinda stuff. I suggest renting the miniseries!

Nice job on this one. I haven't seen the show but I'm sure you nailed the look and it looks like a ton of time went into the project. Great job on this one and all your stuff, the photoshopping puts it over the edge. Nice

Be patient my friend.... The final part will surely be the twice size than the rear part.....so a lot of money and time for finishing it..... But be sure that I really want to finish it !!!!!

Hmmm...No clue either. At least you have the final configuration planned out. The end is in sight!

That's a good question..... which movie ???? Have no idea about what he's talking about... I imagine "star trek".....

Wooooow that's very cool of you..... but do you know the weight of this stuff ??!!! Anyway, I'd thougt to try to maybe sell it..... I don't know :-((( It is true that the storage become a big problem because i absoluty don't want to decommission it.... Well !! I'm lost in a certain way....

Ooooo Pretty... I want it :)

Thanks again, my friend. Yes, most people seem to like it rough, I mean, with the studs showing and all...

I could have thought I left a comment before ... Anyway, the studs actually gives the ship a nice, rough texture coupled with the greebles. Excellent work!

Thank you for the kind words!

Excellent! This is some top notch stuff, not to mention how huge it is. Well done!

Hey, don't let BSG distract you from your Vulcan ship!!! I mean, if you're waiting for parts, fine, but you have a lot of work to do. What's your girlfriend think of the show?

No problems !!!! see you in 4 weeks ;-))

Good move, my friend! I've always looked back fondly at the original show, but the production value and acting quality of the new one is so far beyond it. Check out my Scenes Folder, it covers several of the early parts of the miniseries. Let me know how you think it compares!

El barto !!!! do you know (because of you), I bought "battlestar galactica" today just to see how it looks like ???!!!! because I remember the 70's one of course but not know the new one... I watched two minutes of movie a minute ago and it looks supercoolgreatterrificintensehypermegacoooool!!!!!

oh yeah, thats totally great!!! thanks for the comment ... besides, nice backgrounds ...

Danke!

wow, ein echt gutes schiff. sehr detailreich. gefällt mir echt gut!!! gruß enyri

Thanks, man!

frakin awesome!

Thanks for checking it out!

wow i can't belive how good that is i mean just.....wow

wow i can't belive how good that is i mean just.....wow

AMAZING.....!

WOW check out my air craft there not as brillant as yours

Thanks for the comments! Feel free to borrow the turrets. There are some shots of the underneath in the other folders. I used a mix of the regular grays, the dark gray, and dark greenish gray. Its about 44 inches I think, (145 studs?) weighing in at about 22 lbs. I built it in three sections, but now all one structure, with the pods separate for transport. Easier to move and put on the stand, but it's not exactly 'wooshable'. Thanks again!

Wow man! Fantastic job. Seriously. I think you may have outdone me. I was wondering when someone would dethrone me, lol. A couple questions? do u mine if I steal ur binoculars for the turret idea? I like it a lot better than the lever I used. Did u use the old and new grays to create a contrast? Can we get a view of the bottom? How long is it? It looks huge!

Yeah, a little something you threw together...Gorgeous ship, I will have to check out the updated pics.~H

Thanks, just a little something I threw together...

Thats a beautiful little ship. ;)

I used the smooth pieces where there's armor plates, and studs in all the other areas to give it texture. Plus I didn't have the $400 to buy enough smoothies to cover the whole thing. Thanks!

I don't get it? You should deserve more attention from MOCers out there, this is awesome! From my point of view, you should make this beauty SNOT (Not-Studs-On-Top). I mean covering the studs with tiles (Which are kinda hard to get). I don't see that Battlestar Galactica thing, but is just too awesome. Cheers man.

I've posted a few shots of the Galactica's belly, finally completing a stand for it. Been working on my color and lighting, too, at your suggestion. I'm using Gimp. It has a lot of features that I'm still trying to figure out. But then again, I'm a dentist, not a graphic designer.

Thanks! Sorry, no plans...In fact, I hardly remember how I built it, I took it apart and rebuilt sections so many times to get the proportions the way I wanted. But basically, its built in three main sections (bow, middle, stern), each with two sets of technic/plate sandwiches, upper and lower connected at the ends of each third. Except for the supports for the pods, it's hollow with detachable panels for access. The bow section was the most challenging due to the angles, with twelve or so separate panels on both sides, each attached to a central spine with a hinge on each. And the pods are removable, too. That's probably more than you wanted to know. Thanks again!

excellent work, do you have plans for this

Live long and prosper, my friend. But, I'm a dentist, not a poet. Thanks for the comments!

Much appreciated! Yes, studs out on the bottom, except under the nose. I'm working on a stand to support it to get a better view underneath, although surface details are incomplete at the moment. The thing is frakin' heavy, so getting is situated might take me a while, especially if I spend more time with the photo editing. Thanks again.

Very cool model of BSG!!! and itīs the best tv-series ever be!. Iīm thinking about, to build Viper Lego Mocīs, you give me more motivation to do this. Iīm from Germany, i hope my english is not to bad. May the force with you, or: this all we hope ;)

This is one of those ships I DREAM of tackling in Lego some day. Now I'm wondering if I should even bother...beautiful work! I admit it's a bit disappointing to see that it hasn't gotten more attention. But regardless, you've done some very nice work. I'm curious, did you go studs out on the bottom?

I'm glad you like it. I printed as many pictures from the show as I could find online for reference. And I even paused the DVD a few times to get a look at some more details. Thanks!

Good gods, man, are you kidding me? It looks like THIS is what the shows Galactica was based on, not the other way around. Too much. I'm going to go fall over now.

Thanks. You ought to rent the pilot movie--you'll be hooked!

Never seen the show, but this ship is epic! Wish I could make something of this grandeur. Nice work.

It's about 140 studs long by about 56 or so at its widest. It's made of three main sections. Each has a base that's a sandwich of plates and tech pieces. Then an upper deck of the same construction. So most of is hollow, with just a few magnetic attachments. Around the pods, though, it's almost solid to support the weight of the pods which can be inserted one at a time if necessary. Thanks for the kind words!

Good to see more Galactica fans! Very impressive model, already a lot of details there, looks great. Do you have some data about dimensions?

This Battlestar is much harder to create than the old wagon. Have to say I'm overly impressed. Congratulation

Well, I do try and spend time with it when I can...Thanks

Awesome ship! This creation needs more attention.

Yes, ok the photography could be a little bit better, but the ship is PERFECT.

High praise, but it's still got a ways to go. Bricks for more detail are being shipped--ran out of smooth pieces. Photography needs some improvement, too. Thanks.

Brilliant work! It's perfect.

That's what my wife said...

woah, that's... that's... woah. yeah!

Thanks--It took forever.

This thing is massive! Great detail and awesome build. -Sam
