Name of Build: "Deactivated" Cylon Raider
Kit manufacturer: Revell
Scale: 1/48
Description
This has been one of the most challenging builds I have ever attempted, even though the kit has about 15 parts. This is the original Cylon Raider that has run into a hot shot Viper pilot. I started with full cockpit detail. I bought a resin cockpit and figures from "thetoyshop" on ebay. It was only the front half so I scratch built the back of the cockpit. I also modified the figures to make them DEAD. The cockpit canopy was a solid chunk of plastic, so, I had to scratchbuild a new one with damage. That was not easy. You can see that the viper got a hit on the canopy and one of the cylons got "spaced". The left engine blew up so I had to cut away that part of the ship, scratchbuild bulkheads, and what was left of the engine. Finally I lit the model with LED's two blue for the working engine, white for the headlamps and a red flashing for the alarm in the cockpit. (see video). Thanks for checkin' it out! VOTE for ME!!!
