Myersjessee Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hey all! I just wanted to share some pictures of Captain America's latest work. A while back I started bugging him about mastering a Raptor from the new BSG for me. After much arm twisting John relented to take on the project. (he knew, I think, I was not going to stop bugging him! ) She will be in 1/24th scale (scale with my TOS Studio Viper) with a fully detailed cockpit, pilots, the works. These are the latest pictures and I thought some of the BSG fans would enjoy her. She is still about a month away from completion, but the Captains work always floors me! Such talent!!!! Hope you like! http://home.comcast.net/~emyers20/RCN/Rapt...ress/82005a.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~emyers20/RCN/Rapt...ress/82005b.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~emyers20/RCN/Rapt...ress/82005c.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~emyers20/RCN/Rapt...ress/82005d.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~emyers20/RCN/Rapt...ress/82005g.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~emyers20/RCN/Rapt...ress/82005j.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~emyers20/RCN/Rapt...ress/82005l.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~emyers20/RCN/Rapt...ress/82005m.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Tell him I say it's nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 You know what floors me? The fact that Moscato got so tired of you bugging him for one that he whipped one of these puppies out just to shut you up. The man's skill amazes me. I wish I had the ability to do something like that just because a friend wanted one. Wow. I still cry when I think of the Legioss project. HG really stabbed themselves in the foot when they effectively killed that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Wow! I thought I was the only one that love the Raptor. I actually prefer it over the Vipers. Awesome work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwmwww Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 WOW!!! One of these days I have to hit him up for a model of the LandMaster. But I'm also hoping to someday see his Legioss completed (even if just for himself). And then I want to see a Tread built for it. Ok... I'm dreaming again. No need to be in a rush to wake me up guys, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Dag but that is nice, too bad it's delaying the 1:48 VF-1D conversion though, lol. Seriously that is beautiful, I hope he sends it to production company and can get it liscenced, make some money on it, he deserves it.

EXO Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Where'd you guys get schematics for this? Was there blueprints available or just from watching the show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobywan Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Jesse got the orthogravic renderings from a Zoic guy and I made the blueprints and plotted out the flats for the wings. John did all of the figuring out from there. A LOT of figuring out. That interior really floored me. I had no idea that he was holding back on us for so long.

He always does that...I always notice his builds go like this: 1st update - oh...yeah...neat idea 2nd update - hoo-humm...looks like chunks of that funky balsa he uses and some styrene.. 3rd update - yeah...I can kinda see the shape...neat 4th update (queue eairy music from the heavens and beams of sunshine! ) Thanks again for the work with the blueprints Coby! It would not have been possible without you!!!! (now if only I could get Anasazi to agree to do decals!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
