One of my 3D prints I'm working on. This was printed 24" in PLA. I was so happy I started working on a huge 3/4 Studio Scale Version.
I'll be detailing some of this on The BattleScale Collectica Show.

Thank you! So it does angle down! We were discussing the bridge in this thread on here and I was wondering why the 3D printed bridge replacement piece from Shapeways has the bridge pointed down like that.

Incidentally, I came across your YT channel maybe a half a year ago or whenever you had about 200 subscribers. I love the content. I, too, did not care for the reboot series and I was hoping for the show to have more of a neo-retro look to it, much like how Trek manages to do most of the time (like when DS9 redid the TOS Tribbles episode). When I was a kid, I wanted a brown Colonial Warrior's jacket so badly. The re-imagined Cylon ships look like car hood ornaments and turning them into androids felt cheap to me. My friend says, "Well, there is an episode that pays homage to BSG TOS with the old-style Cylons..." Yeah, I don't care! I wanted the whole show to be comfy.

Anyhow, I appreciate your channel.

It's a beautiful model - not quite as accurate but a lot less cheaper to make than the Mike Salvo resin cast kit (I think that's the bridge upgrade you were checking out on Shapeways - I know that designer).

My show was launched last month on Rumble - I think you're thinking of Battlestar Collectica on YouTube - its a great channel that talks about BSG specific toys and collectibles.

My show BattleScale Collectica covers more general model, custom figures & 3D prints, and I interview designers and modelers. We also feature a viewer showcase each episode:

Hope you check it out!

By Friday afternoon, I had decided to watch your videos over the weekend. Now the weekend has gone by, and I still haven't watched them. Nuts. Maybe this evening. I have an account on Rumble, but mentally I only associate it with socio-political commentary. I know that there is other content, but it seems that 99% of the content there is such. Do you have to pay Rumble to upload? What I don't like about Rumble is their notification system.

I rather prefer Odysee as a YouTube alternative because it has more of range of content, but they also have issues to resolve in order to improve. For one thing, their meta tags are completely useless. The search tool ONLY considers video titles. I recently contacted them about this, and they said they will address this with Odysee 2.0 when it launches.

Hi Steve not Steve. I appreciate you stopping by the channel and leaving a comment. Rumble has some advantages and disadvantages compared to YT...the biggest being it's banned in most Communist & Socialist GVT'S. It's free to host content, but you also won't make much (if any) streaming residuals. There are many great modeler channels on YT (you've got some great content too), but it's a personal decision not to post my content there or on FB.

Don't forget to email me a pic of one of your builds to enter the raffle for the Galactica! :)

Good for you. I respect that. I only upload about 80% of my content to YT while all of it goes to Odysee. Just earlier this month YouTube zorched yet another video of mine (the second this year) for "medical misinformation." Funny how things I said years ago keep coming true. It didn't come from "bat soup" you morons, it came from the virus lab up the street where it was intentionally developed. I said so back in February 2020 and caught flak for it, being called a "crazy conspiracy theorist" because I disregard the corporate propaganda media. Now it's undeniable. YouTube claims "it's our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all." No, they want a safe place for their flagrantly criminal, oligarch-controlled corporations which put profits before people, a place free from criticism which exposes how they knowingly harm people. It is disgusting. I mostly do hobby-related videos and yet I keep getting in trouble. Yet I refuse to take their stupid gulag re-education to remove my permanent warning.

I appreciate your support Greg. And email me a pic to enter the raffle !! :)
 
Your Galactica looks fantastic. Personally I prefer the new version, but also like the old ships.
Talk about space opera, wow.
It is timely to see this because just a few weeks ago I came across a site that had files available (for a price) which would allow you to print out some large models of various ships, such as TOS Enterprise, and I was very amazed by that. Sorry I can't remember the site but I could search for it if you want.

Welcome to the site Bendinggrass and thanks for the compliment! I'll be making a new thread soon on this topic.

Look forward to seeing some of your projects!
