Galactica #1 (which was actually christened the Atlantia) was a save from a deficient build, it had to be extensively pulled apart and reworked, plumbed, hogged, refabbed, and adapted. Still, it came out pretty spectacular. Galactica #2 was more along the par of an aerospace project, with a groundwork design in the 3D-CAD realm from none other than the ace of space, Mr. Charles Adams. This one was assembled in a modular fashion, with nary a hitch. It is currently on an 18-month-long display at Seattle's Science Fiction Museum.
(And no, no plywood was used in either of these, as was in the original Galactica!)
The downside of building two Galacticas is that my wife now hears me shouting out in my sleep things like "Roco!", "Leopold!", and "Yamato!". And on a side note I'm thinking of officially changing my name to Karl Morser.
Yeah,i think building up G will do that to you.With all the different kit's/part's it really can scramble the brain.I guess it could have been worse,it could have been ya wife that was involved with the build and her shouting out them names? LOL
Yeah the first G which became Atlantia,from what i read elsewhere did become a bit messy situation.But in the end you guy's still managed to make it look PFG to my eyes anyway.THE second build though is definitely a betta build and it's great that she is on show for people to see one of these beasties for themselves.
I'm sure there will be plenty that have know idea just how big and detailed the SS model is.
Great job and again welcome!
