Battlestar Tigershark (kitbash inspired by Galactica TV show)

[YOULI]

Here is a Kitbash made in 10 days or less with, essentially, Runabout kit parts 2 years ago.

I made it after some inspiration catching some details ont the Runabout kit, checking, cuting, glueing... The result amazed me, and I do developped some taste for kitbashing for sure...

Some pictures in natural light...



Macro pictures, but with less light in my room...




Will share a WIP with you guys later. A lot of pictures to gather...

Thanks everyone... It's one of my favorite Kitbash. Did it really quick, for a contest. Didn't participate though, my grand mother passed away the very same day I was supposed to deposit the kit.
Therefore, I decided to name the class ship after her name, my family name : West. So the name of this Battlestar, West Class, is Tigershark.

Two more pictures shot at Pringy in 2011, different lighting, different eye, same kit.
(Do you see that it's done from a Runabout ?)

That's really cool looking. Great modelling work as well.

I actually prefer that type of look to the new BSG Battlestar. Looks like a hybrid of the old and new, yet made from a star trek kit of all things. Go figure

This is an exceptional build Y, Mad skillz buddy, great paint also.

BSG from TREK, you gotta love that ;D

Gag

 

[YOULI]

Thanks Guys ;D

You may know that I've done numerous kitbashes inspired by Vipers, Cylon raider and... Star Trek Starships.

Brilliant work!!! I'm truly amazed at the amount of parts you used from the Runabout to make it! I thought I spotted them all, but I was wrong!! Inspiring!!!
