This is part 1 of my build of the 72 scale Galactica Landing Bay kit by Cozmic Scale Models. This is a representation of the Viper Bay seen in the reimagined series. In this video I paint and detail the main walls and structures of the kit.

Ok. I’m starting mine after I finish the two cars I’m working on. Thanks for sharing

[@InterstellarModeler]

You’re welcome. Part 2 will be up in a few days. Lighting and assembly is complete. Will be moving onto the figures, equipment and Vipers next

[@ScaleModelGeek]

That's looking good and a decent size in 1/72nd scale.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks

[@rogerstephens2749]

Nice work, i bought two of these hangers i also have 8 vipers a raptor and the shuttle. Cozmic Scale Models detail is incredible. I can't wait to see your finished kit

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks…yes I’m very impressed with the kit too.

[@Marielcs]

Wowwww 👏👏👏

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thank u

[@Tim-57]

Hey Oggie Looks great so far. Shame you needed to cover gaps. See you on the next part. Take care 😊

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks Tim

[@tachi98lep]

Great work on the Battlestar hangers! Very nice detail for a 1/72 nd scale model!

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thank you

[@goforitpainting]

Looks cool. 👍

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks

[@conrailfan6277]

Great kit and build Oggie, that will look awesome next to the Moon base Alpha hanger you built awhile ago, now if they had a kit for the U.S.S. Enterprise shuttle bay in that scale you would have the Trifecta!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks.....and totally agree. A diorama of the TOS Enterprise hangar bay would be very cool.

[@paulgertsch7105]

Looking great. Can't wait to see it after the lighting is finished.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks

como gran entusiasta de BSG, esperando ver sus siguientes entregas Sr. que seguro nos dejara de nuevo con los dientes largos. Que sean exitosas sus ideas en este kit.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Gracias por tus amables elogios

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Excellent work so far O! Looking forward to the next one 😊

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks Kenny

[@JREone]

Awesome build a raptor and a few vipers will look incredible

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks…yep definitely have the 1/72 Vipers that will be added

[@Quaralane]

Thanks for doing this. I'm about to start doing something very similar with this kit. Yours will give me plenty of inspiration, and ideas

[@InterstellarModeler]

You’re welcome. Thanks for following along

[@richardcorwin1828]

Looking forward to the rest of the build. One question for you though, have you any updates on Boyd? Once again sir thank you for sharing.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks. Yes, Boyd unfortunately contracted pneumonia. It’s what kept him from posting anything over the last few weeks. He’s definitely on the mend from that now. I know we all of course continue to send our support and encouragement.

[@richardcorwin1828]

@@InterstellarModelerPlease let him know that we are keeping him and the family in our prayers. Thank you

[@Rabblewitz]

Nice!! I assume there was a good reason why you couldn't sand the wall ends a bit first, to get a better fit? An interesting side note, I've usually had pretty good luck with brush painting metallic paint.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks. The gaps were uneven at the top so that would’ve taken a lot of sanding and there are protrusions around the middle that are made to fit into the holes provided along the adjoining piece.

[@Rabblewitz]

@@InterstellarModeler I thought it might be something like that.

[@bobafett2243]

Kinda cool. Wish I could find some vipers, even raiders at a reasonable price. Is Mobias still making these? Any BG model kits out there?

[@InterstellarModeler]

No all those kits are out of production but you still can find the Mark VIIs at a reasonable price. Just check around. I found mine on a hobby store shelf still priced at $20 or so. Thanks for watching

[@delaunfifield3490]

Will the original Momogram kits fit this scale?

[@InterstellarModeler]

No those were 1/32 in scale. Cozmic scale models does sell huge a 1/32 version of this as well but also has a single bay for display (reimagined series). Take a look at their site. Lots of fun stuff there including items relating the original series.

[@plutoyaldnil4750]

Hhhhhhmmmm if ya used this as an empire bay.....wouldnt need those handrails lol

[@InterstellarModeler]

So true Lol
