Here's a couple of pics of the 1/72 Starship Modeler(!) Human Fighter Mk 2 built straight from the box with added RBF tags, it will eventually end up on a base with a couple of crew figures, anyone know how to do a 1/72 Starbuck?

Nice little viper you have there ! Some of the Italeri Nato pilot figures would work out well for you...

Gorgeous Viper. Where'd you get it?

From the Starship Modeler website store.

Yeah baby, I'd like to do Starbuck!

Oh wait, you said 72nd scale. Rats!

Nice laz! I like how you chipped the red stripes...very realistic weathering! I like your Viper. It brought back memories seeing it. Thanks for posting.

Very cool! I've got that same kit sitting right here in front of me on my computer desk. It's still in the box, with two old Comet Minis Galatica minis sitting on top of it. It is one small little model, too. I'll get to it eventually.

Great job!!

Ah, ah, ah!

Yes!

I have the resin kit from Replica Props Forum but am still way too chicken to attempt it so it is very exciting to see this done----great job!!!

Lazlo,
Thought the kit came with a pilot. Read in the forum that they didn't get them in the first batch but should have them now. Send John and Linda an email and maybe they got some spares.
Still gotta get this kit.

Thanks Philip, I got a pilot with it but just used the helmet which is perched on the front of the cockpit, at some point i might scratchbuild a boarding ladder and convert a couple of Preiser figures.

Being a fan of the original BSG, I find that very disturbing.

Why couldn't they have gender-changed Apollo. He was a bit of a girlie-man arleady ...

Sweet Viper BTW.

Great stuff, Brother Lazlo ! A nice addition to all the 'real world' WI stuff here. Very nicely done, indeed. Especially for a such a small little kit. The addition of the tags ( Ready, Beer, Fly ! ) and the helmet is a nice touch, and the ladder would just finish it off.

Cheers !

Starbuck's ok, but my favourite has to be Dee, the deck officer...
