Posted August 31, 201113 yr Hey folks, With a new Battlestar Galactica series being done at the moment, I thought I would love to see some licenced Lego sets of BSG. As this is likely not to be happening (as the BSG-reboot is a very brutal and scary place), I decided to make my own. I tried to make MOCs that could be used as real Lego models and created two ships. The first one is a Viper MK I that would be used in the first days of the Cylon War. This model is an intermediate step between the MK-II fighters of "Battlestar Galactica" and the airborne fighters of "Caprica" The second one is an orbital shuttle that ferries people of the planet an onto their ships in orbit. So, here are the pictures. Comments and criticism are appreciated, as always!

August 31, 201113 yr Being a big fan of BSG, I'm always eager to see MOC on that theme. And I like yours, the shape of the Viper's nose is an interesting build. But the viper should have 3 engines and if you want to make your MOCs look like they could be real Lego sets you shouldn't mix new parts like the landing gear with out of production parts like old hinges and the canopy. But again nice work.
August 31, 201113 yr Lovely aft thrusters on that viper and Bill Adama made my day! Though I have to agree with Lutin on that landing gear, maybe you should give it another look.
September 2, 201113 yr Author Thank you both. I agree on the landing gear and have redone it. This one is a bit less annoying, I think. Gear 1 von HMSCentaur auf Flickr working von HMSCentaur auf Flickr @ Lutin I know what you mean but I wanted to do an transition from the air-jets from "Caprica" that use two engines (like here) and the classic three-engine Vipers from BSG. Hence there is also not a single Empenage but a V-Tail on this model.
