'Battlestar Galactica' fan builds replica viper

Most people park cars or trucks in their driveway. One homeowner in Conroe sometimes has a spaceship.

I am about the same age as that guy. I was ten years old when the TV series started. I couldn't wait to see it every Sunday night at 8 O'clock. I built my replica of the Colonial Viper with cardboard, glue and the toilet paper center rolls. My version was so good it was stolen when I brought it to school. I cried so hard because I spent countless hours building it. I didn't even take a picture of it, and should have.

I love you. You are a living the dream in this below light speed time.

[@TheTferrer]

This guy is fortunate to build a big toy like this one on his driveway. Cannot do this fun projects anywhere else due to HOAs. Thank you for sharing - it looks so mu fun!!!!!

[@lsakk]

Dude you guys rock ! How fracken awesome! I want one to play with in my back yard. I watched the original up to the the latest remake. I love it all thanks for sharing and being so COOL

[@robertcieslak1861]

A job well done! I wanted to build one 20 years ago but was hampered by space restrictions.

[@gordendavis3585]

If I was a billionaire I would build a flying version..40 million should be enough to get it to fly at half its expected proformance

[@smurfjeep]

Awesome build

[@cottoncandy5113]

Except you excluded all of the other people who worked on this project. It was a TEAM of people who built this. A TEAM. Not just one man. You can imagine our disappointment when you excluded all of the hard work everyone did when you gave all of the credit to just one person.

My kind of neighbors ❤👍

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

BRILLIANT! THIS IS GREAT! 👍👍

[@argonwheatbelly637]

The trick is to use Constellation vacuum cleaners as the sound effect for the engines. ;-)

[@theamazinggoldfish8713]

Thank you. I still like the Lazer sounds better than the standard gun sounds. 🏹🤠👍

[@simonvance8054]

Yeeaaah I can totally relate to that guy! I’d love to build a full scale Viper and I don’t care who knows it!..

[@richardgarcia9898]

Dang it is awesome. Now if he can it to fly and engineers were to join him and make it happen. Damn it would be awesome to see it fly.

[@ScoopDogg]

Iranian airforce just ordered 100 from him lol

[@bernardtaylor7768]

And they out performed the F35

[@hyfy-tr2jy]

Someone needs to build AND race a Viper dragster

[@strikerdelit2649]

So say we all

[@jamieolberding7731]

Is is going to be able to fly?

[@claudiorivera9162]

De lo poco . .... EXCELENTE🖒.

[@simonvance8054]

Yeeaaah I can totally relate to that guy! I’d build one for fun if I could and I don’t care who knows it!..

[@MrTAGARON]

The layout, and for what?I understand that you can blow through the aerodinomic pipe,even slightly change the wings,make not a model but a single-seat plane, there are now a shaft of engines, you can also put jet engines,or you can make a propeller-driven cockpit in the front, because it's better to fly,it's better to sit on the ground in a cardboard box.(translated through a translator)

[@rudyolivarez3564]

I always wanted to that

[@robdcollector2808]

.did he finish painting it all? It looked incomplete on the driveway

[@anthonygibbs9245]

Anyone have a link to the finished ship?

[@frakmaster69master11]

Set condtion one throughout the fleet and launch alert Vipers now!

[@abbaszaidi8371]

Awww its a Mk I! Still beautiful work but gotta see a Mk II or VII

[@kdrapertrucker]

No mark II or Mark IV in the real Battlestar Galactica. You know, where Humans are Humans, ceylons are machines. I mean the Moore Battlestar was pretty good, but by the third episode I knew that all humans were going to be ceylons by the end of it. In the original series it was a drama warning of the pitfalls of wreckless development of technology. The Ceylon race built smart machine that genocides them and then proceeded to try to eliminate all biological lifethey encountered.

[@bxpress6507]

I seen Australian built a MkII..looks very cool..and another Australian who has built a Mk I out of metal! His Viper almost done and documented build👍

[@Isotec1]

still a fan of the original

[@andrewmcandrew7642]

Admiral adamma wants to know your location.

[@davemarx7856]

So... it's 2018 now.

[@aiosquadron]

That's the Mk1 viper, right?

[@VegetaLF7]

Technically speaking it's just the Viper if you're only looking at the original TOS. In the re-imagined timeline it would be the Mk1 Viper. The ones we see flying in the reimagined show are the Mk2 and MkVII Vipers, but we do see a brief glimpse of a Mk1 in the museum during the pilot miniseries.

[@johnsondelvetto4387]

Now just to make a version that can fly

[@sci-figuy6668]

I did. I built a scratch-built colonial viper model rocket. 😂

[@johnsondelvetto4387]

Rob Fisher damn

[@valtito9297]

home owners association problems?

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

As long as he keeps his lawn green I reckon he’ll get away with it.

[@alzeNL]

Then dress ya kid up as a dagget for halloween

[@rialastral1119]

you do realize it was more than one person right? if you can't get your stories straight, stick to actually news, like the water being toxic undrinkable.

[@orehldmanguz7013]

destroy colonial viper by your command 🤖 🚀

[@donjorge8329]

Tscha...Menschlein sind schon komisch, manchmal.

[@jhopkins213]

Beets. Bears. Battlestar Galactica.
