I just finished my 3rd scratch build, the refinery ship from Battlestar galactica. It comes in at just 5.5" and goes nicely with the rest of my fleet. I had to paint some of the detail seeing i had no decals for it ,and I'm happy with the results.

Looks awesome, but what is it. Does it have a name, or is some back ground support ship that looks like a engine in space. Very cool looking, and love the detail. Thanks for sharing this, and drive to build the fleet. Your building a great rag-tag fleet so far.

Refinery ships process raw minerals and metals gathered by a mining ship. Unlike a mining ship, a refinery vessel has large processing and storage facilities, and can serve as a fueling vessel. In the storage compartments small excavators and chutes are used to move the raw, granular tylium to long conveyor belts on the lower decks. There manual labor is involved in refining it to a liquid fuel, but the exact further process is unknown.

The Fleet possesses two such ships, the Daru Mozu (Epiphanies) and the Hitei Kan (Dirty Hands). However, the episode "Dirty Hands" implies that the former was destroyed [1].
