Doesn't matter what scheme you paint a Wyvern, it ALWAYS looks awesome!

Especially if you make it the conjectured jet version...

Clearly NAA was involved.

That looks cool. What scale is this? I recognize the rear end, but cannot name it... from Ultraman?

Does look good

An excellent looking device, and well kit-bashed too.

No idea.  I was googling for a gag NatGeo cover featuring a nBSG Raptor "found on Mars" when this popped up on Pintrest

Very cool indeed!!

Not knowing anything about Ultraman, the rear end does look a bit like a scale-o-rama'd Draken to me.

Regarding nBSG, the original intent for the series finale was the Galactica to have crashed accidentally on Earth due to damage suffered in the final battle (instead of being piloted to the Sun by vegetative Anders), and the "200,000 years later" segment would have included archeologists finding the wreck of a Raptor. As filmed, the ending really stretches the logic - as if the nonexistent Plan and an entire episode of talking heads exposition retconning the entire previous series already didn't - since the colonists simply accept Apollo's plan of slow mass suicide by "abandoning technology" without qualms. When they encounter a cave lion or flat-nosed bear without firearms, when the first child dies of tetanus, when it's winter and the tinder and flintstones can't light a fire, etc. they might have second thoughts about dropping all that eevul tech. Oh well. Dropping the series halfway in Season 4 (after the discover Earth and we learn what happened to Ms. Tigh), where it would have ended had the Writers' Guild strike continued at the time, is always an option when rewatching it, that way it remains almost flawless.

And I would say that's exactly what you found!

Ah, I have found the donor basis for the rear end: an "Ultra Hawk" from Ultraman, a modular, Gerry-Anderson-esque design/thing/mecha from a classic kaiju TV series:






There are several Ultrahawk kits around, including a 1:144 Hasegawa kit of the whole thing and kits of the single modules. There's even a massive 1:72 from Fujimi around (57cm long!) - and mating it with a B-70 is almost a natural choice.

Excellent bit of Photoshopping there. (I think..........)

Found this while looking for pics of the 'normal' Seamaster'.



And an excellent backstory and build article to go with it here :-

Another theft from Pintrest.  This one, I think, needs no explanation
