Quote HistoryQuoted: I got my Galactica when it was first released. None of that stuff was available when I got mine and built it. I have a bunch of fiddly bits that I bought for the Pegasus This is my second G. Built one when it first came out, too.  Tiny resin one. One of the first kits of it IIRC.I  |

I have decided that when I finally get to the painting stage of mine I'm going to Splash a little bit of aluminum into the paint to give it just a slight metallic sheen. I always thought based on the CGI model of the Pegasus that it looked like it had a little bit more of a metallic look to it than the Galactica did |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was thinking a mist coat before sealing and decaling. Pure metallic doesn't look right, but neither does straight grey. Yeah I agree I thought about running a light mist of maybe a chrome silver or a aluminum but then I think I might play around with adding it to the paint and see what happens |

I know I'd screw that paint job up.
 There's no way I could work around so many whatsits on the hull without making at least one look like it had a kB! or a elFire at some time in the past.  |

That's ok, Galactica and Pegasus had battle damage that couldn't be repaired. They both got in progressively worse shape(Galactica mostly) as the show went on. |

Thank you! I didn't know they made them prefinished. They did/do the MkII and MkVII and the new Raider, as well as the old series Viper and Raider. They also have the Galactica and Pegasus, but they're harder to find. They're not bad, but they don't fill seams and no weathering. ETA: MkII, in all it's seamy glory. All I did was apply a wash to bring out the details. They just do the basic paint with no washes or weathering at all.

The biggest issue is the right fuselage half is slightly higher than the left. Since I didn't build it, I don't know if it's a parts issue or an assembler issue, but I suspect the latter. |

I'll let you know about the fuselage I have one sitting on the bench getting ready to work on as soon as I get done with the decals and clear coat on the Mark 7 |

Finally knocking out the Eagle Transporter from Space 1999 that I started in 2019 and then ended up getting sick.
Base coat is on waiting for everything to dry that has been assembled and then I need to clear coat it, decals and seal it.

Random panels done in slightly different shades of the base coat. Decals on, once I get the crest to settle down over the detail, I'll seal and weather. It's going to take a lot of Micro Sol. The kit decals are very thick. The replacement registry decals snugged right down.

There are some really nice models in this thread. Here is a picture of an ancient Airfix 1/76 scale model of a British WW2 Humber armored car. It really looks better in person, as the magnified picture really shows the seams and lack of detail in this kit, compared to anything made in the past 20-30 years. I think the kit was old even by 1970's standards. I built this 45 years ago, entirely hand painted (an airbrush was an unimaginable luxury at that time). I had a number of models, but most did not survive my little brother while I was in the military.

Now 1/72 scale models cost as much as 1/35 stuff did back when I was growing up in the 80's. Of course now 1/72 scale stuff is as detailed as 1/35 stuff was back then. |

They were the nicest models I built for a long time. At least the US tanks, and the Long Tom 155mm gun - being all OD. The German ones not as much due to my attempt at painting the camo by hand. I bought a big stack one time probably for $20 total I built a Monogram 1/35 (or maybe 1/32) Stug IV that turned out amazingly nice for a 12 year old with no airbrush. |
