Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here is the next figurine. Yes, it is the (TOS) Colonial Warrior (Viper Pilot).
Now, these figurines are quite easy to put together and can be made within a couple of hours (this is why everything will be posted all at once).

I started with the legs. As you notice, there are straps on the boot. There will be (both) brown and black boots (as both are canon).

Moving on the the body.

Here I have added the "quilted bib" panel on the front of the shirt, to give it a more realistic look.

Torso is complete.

Legs are attached.

Next up are the arms and jacket.

I have made the arms for (both) the shirt and jacket (for added realistic effect).

On this arm, you can (clearly) see the "BLUE" Squadron patch on both the shirt and jacket sleeve.

Here is the body of the jacket (with all of the "piping" detail added).

Now, there is still quite a bit more work left to do. I will be making a Pegasus version as well. Revell-Fan is currently working on the piece for the helmet. Once all of the details are fixed, and I have made a female version as well, this packet will be sent to Tirick for review, approval, and upload to his site.

This is some fantastic work, I am in awe of what you have done with these. When I first designed them I wasn't certain how well received they would be, and I'm very happy to see you take the base design and actually do something with them. I've long moved away from actively working on them, although who can say if I'll go back. I've found it harder and harder of late to focus on modelling, even when presented with the time. But, as my kids get older, and start to (perhaps) take an interest, I might take up the mantle again. Until then, I'll just revel in your work.

Revell-Fan, that is some kind of awesome Viper helmet!

Thank you very much, Tirick! :) I printed mine on regular 160 gsm paper and assembled it without the flaps. Rhaven revised the eagle crest ;) . The front plates of the accessories are rescaled versions of the 1:1 scale props which can be found in the BSG resource section.

It means a lot to me and Rhaven that you like what we have done so far. We still have one or two ideas which we will test in the near future. :)

Amazing work, especially considering the small size.

These will be a nice touch to dioramas and cockpit models.

Keep 'em coming!

Best Regards,

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have now made the Female Viper Pilot. Here are the photos.

Starting with the boot. Yes, they are brown. Both brown and black boots were used through out the series. There will be the option (to either have brown or black boots) in both templates.

Now onto the main body.

As you can see, I have added the "quilted" bib on the chest.

Here I have added the neck, legs, and belt.

Now for the holster.

I have added the Languatron, the cartridges, and the main body of the jacket.

Now to continue on with the arms. Yes, this figurine is from the Pegasus. I have decided to include both in the templates. That way, you can make a pilot from the Galactica or the Pegasus (which ever you prefer).

Here I have attached the arms, shoulder pads, and head.

Here is the Coin Stand with the Pegasus logo on it.

IMAG4011.jpg IMAG4012.jpg IMAG4013.jpg IMAG4014.jpg

Here are both figurines together.

I still have some minor changes that i need to make to the templates, but once they are done, I will be sending everything to Tirick for review, approval and upload to his site.

Next up I will make the Bridge Crew Uniforms.

Please stay tuned to your local Colonial Broadcast Channels for further updates as they come in.

Thank you for watching and ENJOY!!!

Great work! There are some little things which have to be adapted but the overall look is astounding. I'll make the revisions and send them to you asap. :)

Just to let everyone know, I have sent the templates to Tirick for review, approval, and upload.
So hopefully, (within a couple of days) these will be available for everyone to download and enjoy!

I am now working on the Bridge Crew. I will post photos as they are available.

Please stay tuned to your local Colonial Broadcast Channels for further updates as they come in.
