This looks real cool. Someone on eBay is offering them up for $250.

It is real cool, but I don't think it is the correct scale for a S.S. scale. That Viper in the photos just look right on the scale. I see a note book ring in one of the images so that is how I figured the scale.

thats not a note book ring, its a shower curtain ring unless you see something that i didnt but i am assuming its that gold ring on the bottom...correct?

That does seem a bit more of a shower curtain ring more than a binder type. That would scale it up a bit then.

I am the one who makes these kits. These pictures were taken at Wonderfest. What you all are referring to is a Grommit for my sign. The viper is a moebius kit. If you guys check out the wonderfest web site I actually gave a lecture with Frank Winspur from Moebius Models and The guys from Moebius gave them a thumbs up. The kits are fairly large and detailed so please feel free to ask any questions.

TundraYeti - welcome to the site! And the kit rocks! Are there any lights in it? I see some blue lights in the center image, but I'm not sure they are part of the kit.... ?

Thanks for the welcome.
I designed the kit to make it easy to install lights, but the lights you see in the photo are from another diorama kit i make.
Here is a picture.

The Battlestar galactica hangar bay actually comes in 2 kits, there is a smaller section that you can combine with the large section to make one big diorama.

I make a lot of diorama kits, here is some of my custom work:

NICE! I love dioramas... so much detail. Too too too cool the hanger extends into a larger diorama. A nice "captured" Cylon Raider with the guts hanging out in the hanger would rock ;)
Post up more when you can, we'd love to see more of your work.

Thanks for the compliments and the nice welcome. I have just been commissioned to do a custom hangar for someone. I'll post some pics here as well. Also I have only one set of the 1/32 scale hangar kits left so if anyone wants one, please send me a PM!

It's been awhile, but I have been very busy. Here are some photos of a test build that I am considering adding to my Battlestar Hagar kit selection. This was a custom job for one of my clients that turned out so well, I may add it to my kit offerings. Let me know what you all think.
