Dirk's Paper Battlestar Berzerk Gunship

[SJPONeill]

Very clever....It's hard to see in the final picture - have you blocked off the sides in the new cutouts below the turrets? In addition to adding to this model's overall cool factor, your inserts will also add a lot of strength: I always worry about the integrity of this type of monocoque design when they don't have internal formers...

I had to cut out 20 of these little suckers and glue them in place.

You wait til you get to paper tracks with individual links!

Can't be as bad as a styrene kit with individual track links... haha

You reckon..?

Read down til you get to the bit where each track link has 7 parts to cut out, fold and glue...

Here is my finished Battlestar Berzerk from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. This kit finished off a a whopping 13.5 inches.































Thanks for looking

MOST awesome!!!! Those gun turrets really make it and I can't wait for you to build the miniature Viper fleet to come swarming from that hangar bay...

That is really great, Dirk ! Well done, especially the extra work you did on the guns and such.

You're lucky this is a family type forum and I can't post what I'm thinking of you right now.

Just kidding but come time to do the Monogram Battlestar I have ideas to make the viper thing happen.

Thanks for hosting this Simon.
