I am sure that's an honest mistake Jase. Charles and mine were completely seperate, and I admit I was equally impressed with Charles and Jim's work. I honestly cannot remember when i statred my Mark 1 Galactica, way back in the mists of time. I do remember tracking down Mark Bradley through Universal Studios Florida, all via the phone in those days after seeing the article in Starlog and Mark being extremely helpful.
I then became aquainted with Chris Papas who was also very helpful, then started trying to identify kits way back. Nothing like the work that has been done to date though.
When i visited Boston in about 2003 (I think), Chris arranged for me to meet Gary Canavo and was actually able to look at the old girl in the fles, so to speak. Wish i could have taken some photos.
My Mark 1 was eventually scrapped and i then started my second version and thought why not build 2 at once (I know what was I thinking)
Well one of mine eventually got shipped to the US in a trade with a well know SFX guy in LA, Greg Nicotero.
Now mine is sitting with Jase who has been kind enough to store it for me, but I must admit I am really getting the itch to get into it again. I can't believe how much kit prices have gone up though. Damm those Rocos are expensive.
