Sorry toolslinger, I'm having a hard time finding a screenshot of that antique viper.  But the episode is #7, "The Long Patrol", the original series.  It's also the one where Starbuck has the speed-enhanced but unarmed Viper with an AI built into it.

Someone built one here:http://resinilluminati.com/showthread.php?t=315.  I'll have to bust out the DVD's and take a second look.  I think the one on the show was significantly different.

Like I said, yours is better.  And I'm not just butterin' you up. . . :thumbsup:

Thanks y'all   :wub: Nox Neato link. I actually remember that episode from when I was a little un but don't own TOS  :banghead: :banghead:
:banghead:
I figured this design out strictly on the basic shapes of a Viper. Open nose, 3 engines, cockpit right in front of a big ol intake in the middle /back third o the ship  :wacko:
I had the idea in my head since I decided to build Vipers :o :blink:
Blame Cthulhu for giving me the upper engine parts :thumbsup:

I looks like a Chris Foss version of the Viper, now you got it all painted up like that.  Sexy.
