I picked up three of these at WonderFest this year. The forward section is a base from a Konami or Furuta (I forget which) mini for the "UFO" satellite called "S.I.D.S". I've since added some superstructure to the top of the main engine section, as well as some girder-like structure to the sides of the "arms". Each of the three modules is capable of being detached from the superstructure and maneuvering in Zero-G on their own as part of a sort of asteroid mining and manufacturing facility or the whole ship can land on a planet and drop off the modules near the processing/refining facilities as needed. Upper left: a manufacturing ship (or maybe a refinery ship?). Next up are three that I've got in limbo right now, too: BSG 'Bashes. I'll also be adding a pair of arms back on so that the entire mounting of the flight bays isn't just sort of dangling by one support each. I've not yet cut down the bays, but will try and do so later tonight and tomorrow. However, I decided to forego that and went for the cut-down flight bays. Originally, I was going to cut off the remaining pair of arms and build the center section as a landing bay. Basically, all I did was to cut out most of the middle section of the main hull, cut some rough sheet stock shapes to fill in the holes, then glued the engine section to what was left of the middle hull section. Not terribly creative, but fun for me to do, none-the-less. Basically, my idea is that this battlecruiser was designed specifically to go against basestars and doesn't have a lot of versatility in her design. I plan to include cut down versions of the flight pods and modifying the forward end to have some big-honkin' barrells pokin' out the front. She was originally to be called the Achilles, but I decided to go with Agamemnon in a nod to Babylon5. I plan to do not only the warships, but to scratchbuild some civilian ships, too.īattleCruiser Agamemnon - Pic One - very based loosely off the Tiger-Class Colonial Destroyer, as seen at "Battlestar Galactica: Tech-Manual" websites Starships page. I'm slowly experimenting w/adding some extra detail that was never there on the original captial ships, such as some gun barrels and the like. Will update them eventually.īasic back-story for my models is this: I'm doing a bit of reimagining of my own with the TOS BSG universe. However, the images below are somewhat old and I've done more work then is included. Things have been chaotic and stressful the last couple weeks, tho, so I've not done much with these. Some tinkering around I've got and trying to work on.
