This is a Revell 1997 "re-issue" of the classic Battlestar Galactica model kit.
The model was built and lit by the talented Wayne Hough.

I saw some of Wayne's work from an ebay auction of another Galactica
model and knew I had to commission him to build mine if he would.

He took me up on my offer and I'm very pleased to show photos
of the fine job he did.

The ship windows are lit with a white LED Light source and fiber optics.
The ship engines have their own LED lights.

A weathering "wash" has been applied to the model to bring out the fine details.
Wayne also added back-lit interiors to the landing bays.

That one is mine.

I paid him to do it, since there's no way I could have done it so good. :)

Not sure when he'll have time, but he's going to build my viper, raider & base star kits too
all with fiber lighting.

He puts other built/lit kits up for sale on ebay occasionally.


Right after Wayne finished this Galactica for me, I found out about
the add-on part kits that add more accuracy to the monogram/revell kits.

Doh!!
