Murphyaa's (TOS) Cylon Raider

**Rhaven Blaack** · #1 01-10-2020, 02:45 PM

I was wondering if anyone has posted a build thread of Muphyaa's (TOS) Cylon Raider? Here is the link to the download: http://jleslie48.com/bg/index.html

Murphyaa's (TOS) Cylon Raider-battlestar-galactica-cylon-raider-fighter-paper-model.jpg

I am wanting to build it, However, I am curious to see if anyone else has and look how they did it.
Thank you!

Wow, I haven't seen that one in a long time.

Thank you for designing it!
During a round of research that I had done, I realised that there is this and one other model of this ship available. I am thinking about building it and I was curious if anyone else has built it and I wanted to see a build thread of it.

I haven't seen one. I was thinking of re-painting it, and updating it. It appears to be a pretty good kit.

You can be the first build thread, it would definitely help me.

I have a few other projects in the queue, currently. However, once I start the build, I will post a build thread.

I never knew Aaron did these. When??

These were the first models I ever designed. Way back in the days of pencil and paper. I wanna say 2004 or 2005.

I've been giving thought to doing a refresh of them. They were originally hand drawn on paper, then scanned into MSPaint for cleanup and coloring.

If you do redesign both the Viper (as well as the Scarlet Viper) and the Raider, I would be willing to beta build it for you!

Despite age they don't really look bad.If everything fits I'm sure those kits can produce some cool models.I'm sure Aaron did a lot more models that we know of,they just went down memory black hole.I'm sure some of them can be interesting subjects even after 20 years. I build some models much older that that with a lot of satisfaction.

Looking at that Raider I would strongly suggest turning all parts 90 deg on all pages before printing.It will make for much easier build and much smoother bending of parts.

I don't think I have ever seen original Galactica.Newer one was really good (except some sub plots).

Thank you for making these available Aaron. I build the Cylon raider a couple of months ago but at some very critical points in putting it together, I was building while talking part in company web calls....ending up in adding some of the parts backwards!!! Specifically, the ending wing parts and the whole bottom...even so, the model was beautiful and still kept the general "image" of the show raider.....I am going to build a newlly printed one soon with the proper alignment.
