Just a new little project I've started working on. Saw a video on YouTube on making a Battlestar Galactica launch tube. I decided to give it a go. I recently purchased a 3D resin printer and have been experimenting with it. Most of these parts were made from free 3D files that are available. It's also going to take a bit of scratch building.
Sorry for the poor quality pics. I do everything off my phone.
In the end, hopefully, it will have LED lighting in it.
Hope everyone enjoys!!

Re: Battlestar Galactica Launch Tube Diorama
So current progress on the launch tube....still have some pieces to print out, but did a quick mock-up of what I'm planning. Everything should fit in the display case, which is 15 inches x 3.5 inches x 3 inches. The idea is to have the Viper in take-off. Plan is to use LEDS to illuminate the exhaust plumes. The major thing is to decide on things prior to using epoxy/ cyano, or else it causes issues...lol

Seems a nice manageable size

Re: Battlestar Galactica Launch Tube Diorama
Do t look like much, but I used FreCad, designed an upper channel for LED lights, and just came up with something for a "launch pad)ready" spot...also using FreCad. I then used the files and 3d printed them on my Halot One resin 3d printer.
I'm enjoying using both the cad software, learning it...and printing said items.
