@wm cheng real nice work on that MIGHTY DRAGON!! (That's how it sounds in my head all the time...) Looks like you got that shot you were going for. 

Great work @Papa Rat!

Looks like a Macross Christmas Special @Urashiman. Looks really cool.

I recently acquired this old Monogram Galactica dirt cheap, I didn't have the funds for the Moebius kit at roughly $150.00 and up plus shipping. 

This one had some missing parts and a few breaks to it, so definitely an ideal candidate for some customizing. The forward section had a panel missing and as well the front nose section is gone, so I'll have to make some new parts for that. They're in the rough stage but they ought to look really good when finished.

While I grew up with the original BSG, my biggest gripe with this design were the flight pods, they always looked under-sized to me, with the help of cardboard, glue, putty, eventually some photo-etch parts and paint, this Galactica eventually will have some beefier looking flight pods and an even more dominating appearance. 

Just some super quick pics for what I'm jabbering on about.

@505thAirborne Looks like a nice update coming for the old gal. Are they going to be thru-deck?

Thank you @Thom, yep, that deck will go all the way through. I'm 99% sure I'll be putting some fiber-optic lighting this one, so all the details can be seen.

@all Looking forward to see your exciting work in the new year!

Here's my output for 2025:

@505thAirborne Nice. 

On my desk, the Lighting-C's big wings are coming into their own.

And the seat is done.

One of the tasks to come is tinting the canopy a clear yellow. I have Alclad Transparent Yellow for that, but dipping in a test piece had it coming out a bit 'pebbled.' I was hoping it would be as easy as dipping it in Klear. I'll experiment a bit, more, thinning certainly as it is a darker yellow straight from the bottle. Time to look for a spare canopy as a mule...

Some great builds there @electric indigo!
