Truly amazing models!
I'm currently on a galactica marathon, watching all episodes. I may just try my hand at these! Good job Stephen!

This is the last model Gearz has designed for me so this will probably be my last mini for a little while. I'm gona try my hand at designing and make my own tiny heavy raider to finish off the set. Maybe even a tiny Galactica (have to learn to design first though). There doesn't seem to be many tiny models out there. Anyone know where I can find more?

Anyway, as I said, The Raptor is the last one for now. Thank you again to Gearz for designing these. He's been really great :thumb:

Very nice builds TC :thumb:

All we need now is bunch of 1/450 Galactica builds to give them all a home.sign1

ThunderChild's BSG Shuttle, in the picture above, is now included in the BSG Mini Model Pack available HERE

Great work on these guys :thumb::mrgreen::thumb:

Thanks

I continue to be amazed and greatful for the work you guys put into these. :eek:

Unfortunately, Ive done a rotator cuff and cant even make any of my favourite hoby subjects at the moment, (doctor is saying up to a year!!!!wall1) Just when I had finally started the 3-foot galactica too. Anf Gearz, your original big G is fantastic, she graces my wall at home and I have made several for my son and my nephews. thanks again guys:wave::thumb:

Thanks grifco, glad you liked the tos bigG. Its always good to hear a model has made a fun build. Sorry to hear about the rotator cuff mate, that would suc big time. I'd gladly swap a broken leg, rather than loose the use of an arm + hand. Hope you heal up soon cousin. :wave:

Hey Jeff, K'Jev has a really nice ISSAPC already done, I'm not sure if it could be reduced to 1-450 though..? I'll scope it out.

Hmmmm... It was drawn in Illustrator, and all the master files were on my old PC which more or less went kaboom.

All that exists now is the PDF file. BUT, I think I could redraw it, and I planned on adding a few more options for the cargo section (gunship, missile boat, Heavy Lifter, Bomber, etc.). I also planned on doing a smaller version eventually, and re-skinning it for a Battletech dropship (1:285). If anyone wants to tackle the reduction process, feel free. I'd like a copy though!:mrgreen:

I'll take a look at what I've got and see what I can do about those extra options, too.

Cool. Mini shuttle. Thanks Gearz and Thunderchild for making this one available :wave:. Another one for the collection. Good work on your collection Thunderchild. They look great.

I watched most of the original shows when they were broadcast the first time. I don't remember which episode it was; but there was one were a squad of older (yes, even older) Vipers showed up that had flatter and longer wings and a slightly different nose config. Also I seem to recall a 2-seat viper with a longer canopy in one or two episodes. Maybe some other options for ya.

Oh and the complete "epic series" or original series if you will, is available on netflix. I guess I know what I'll be doing this week...

Any chance of taking the principles of the tiny models and using them in say 1:60th scale or similar war gaming size? While I love constructing a challenging model, I also have need of 'quick' builds that are not as detailed but still hold up to basic design. the Raider and the Viper MK 2 from the new series being two such items I would whole heatedly enjoy simpler versions of. Regardless, amazing work. Very very nice.

And now, my first "experiment" with tiny models :mrgreen:

First of all, many thanks to ThunderChild for the model :thumb:

About the building, i have to do some fixes in the print size and about the assembly. This is the second paper model i have built (the first with tiny dimensions).. and i need to improve my skills. Anyway, make this tiny model is a great method to make pratice :thumb:

With paper, all you need to do is rescale the parts to the size you want. When increasing size you may lose detail on any textures, though. In this specific case, there are larger paper models of the vipers/etc. out there that you can build (or reduce to the size you need).
