This is a little off topic, but thought I would share pics of the Battlestar Galactica model my brother and I made around 1979. He came to visit last night for Christmas and we had rehab'ed it for him to see. It was a very fun project, but we were off on our scale a little. The only resource we had was a puzzle box picture and the biggest problem is the length of the engines. It is balsa wood and lots of model parts. Lee Attachments:

We used the wrapper/container from "Toffefay" candy for the engines. Attachments:

That is really something. I haven't had the patience to paint the last model I built.

Patience, I have. Now time is the thing that seems to always be in short supply.

Lee: Incredibly nice job. As a huge Battlestar Galactica fan, I have more than a passing appreciation for your custom model. Any other Galactica (classic series) fans out there that collect Galactica?
