- Battlestar Galactica Classic Viper
The Viper that started it all! This is the 1/32nd Battlestar Galactica Classic Viper by Moebius Models. Released to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the original series.
LED lighting, sound, and an active cockpit display have been added to bring this model to life. This video will show how I did some of the key components of the final creation.

WOW that is impressive, I remember building the original model in 1982 and would have been blown away to see something like this.
Thanks
I’m glad to see someone bring in advancements from other modeling hobbies to enhance another. I see components commonly found in modern HO scale locomotives that’s made huge improvements to our hobby. I tip my hat to you sir.
Well thank you sir, much appreciated. It all started with Christine and now I can merge my two favorite hobbies and like you said there always ways for one to improve another.
Just found you johnny. Impressive work! When i was a kid i was glued to the tv whenever BSG came on. You built it better than the show😮
Thanks, I was a fan of BSG, Buck, TOS. Anything Sci-Fi or Horror. The nostalgia sticks around.
Super cool! I've seen detailed electronics mods before, but you took the miniaturization and detail to a whole other level. My first concern was "With this complexity, how's he going to service anything?" but then you showed a few spots to make it accessible. I think this is probably my favorite conversions that I've seen. Keep up the great work and I've subscribed so I can hopefully see more.
Wow, thanks. I really appreciate that. I bought this kit a few years ago and started on the display right away as a proof of concept. I was really happy with the result but it was another year and half before I started the full build. This kit has some great options too bad it is out of production. I do try to add some uniqueness to the builds and I have a few more planned in the BSG world.
Impressive, really impressive
Thank you.
This is *_BEYOND_* cool! 😮😯😲 👍👌✌️
Thanks so much.
Just amazing.
Thanks, appreciate it.
That’s beyond awesome! Just the amount of wiring is amazing! That you made a working display and added sound is fantastic! I concur with the group. If you don’t build sf model props for a living, you should!
Thank you very much!
What a result.luv it. 😊😊
Thank you! 😊
There are no words........except FRAK!!
Yes, thank you. FRAK'n a Right! Seriously I loved all the BSG series and I'm glad I could make something worthy.
Wow! Impressive!
Thank you! Cheers!
Incredible work!
Thanks a lot!
Amazing great job !
Thank you! Cheers!
nice classic model!
It really is. Glad you liked it.
Very cool man , the original series was most excellent . Nice to see some nostalgic models . I had that model ... and the Cylon raider also .
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
Awesome 😮
Thanks 🤗
gotta say, excellent ingenuity and work. makes me appreciate the work of jerry Andersons animatronics, xle, thunderbirds, captain scarlet, what they did with ole skool tech was outstanding.
Thanks for the complement. There is so much more that can be done now that was not possible in years past. Just having a wide range of LED sizes alone makes lighting more manageable.
That’s Fraking incredible!! Well done 👍🏼
Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it.
Your Viper is beyond outstanding. i just wish i could find one. I built the original monogram kit that didn't even have a pilot 20 years ago I would definitely be interested in buying a kit from you to do this
Yeah, thought about getting another. Best deals so far on eBay are around $90-100. I was able to get a Mk-II and Mk-VII to complete the group. Future projects.
I'm glad you enjoyed the build and I appreciate the compliments.
Awesome 👍
Thanks 🤗
THis is the best think I have see on the internet amazzing work and really nice paint job . PS I am a painter and builder my self so can really appreciate the work it takes to get this all in and make it look good
Wow, thanks! I'm really happy with the results. My best so far. Looks like you have quite the collection of Iron Man figures, nice display.
an amazing blend of technology and artistry
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I like the part at the end with terrorizing the kitty. That was fun.
Yeap, keeping my helpers on their toes, ah paws. Thanks
Awesome
Thanks
@@Johnny_Electronic 😁
Im in awe dude. Amazing. If you dont work in films you should...scifi needs real props like yours, not cgi tinsel
LOL, thanks for the comment. I do like scifi allot but I'm still working on the artistic side. I just love what everyone is doing with weathering these days. So much more than just putting a model together.
@@Johnny_Electronic absolutely. Its that extra realisim that makes the scale believable. Gets harder and more skillful as the scale decreases though!
You are so right!
This is super cool - really nice job on the electronics. Throw it up against a green screen and do some passes with a camera and you'd probably look better than the original series!
Exactly, I almost did that for this one. Glad you liked it.
Wow, excellent work, amazing. I've met like 4 or 5 of the actors of this series.
That's awesome! BSG is just one of those classic series that sticks with you. Thanks.
Wow
Thanks
Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
greetings from Germany
Many thanks!
I built a three ship element with the same detail but without the tech at the end of Galactica and before Galactica 1980. The tech did not exist, at least not for a teen affordable price. By the way f16s came on line 1976,officially the fighting falcon Galactica was 1978, They started calling them Vipers at that time. In 1995 when I did my Flight Surgeon ,Top Knife, training, I'm also a flight instructor, no one could tell me the origen of why f16s are called Vipers until I reminded them. This was before the second Galactica. Great Job
I always find it interesting where set designers get their ideas from. This was a fun kit and for sure there are so many more electronic options now than in the past. I think I'll be going back to a car model next then I have a F-14A tomcat to try out. Thank you for this history on the Vipers and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Looks superb all round... Great weathering too!
Thanks. I appreciate the compliment. These builds are so fun for me not only for the electronics but I can mess them up (ie: Weather and battle damage).
Good job 👍💪
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
Absolutely incredible! Great job!
Thanks a lot!
What a fantastic job!! I am totally in awe!
Thank you so much!
Wow...brilliant work.
Thanks a lot 😊
Amazing work.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it.
Amazing model dude excellent job
Thanks a lot, I appreciate the comment.
Amazing work!
Thanks a lot!
Thats a brilliant build.Ive got the other vipers,but not this one.Prices for these in the uk are sky high.Your electronic knowledge is amazing.I can only do a few simple fibre optic set ups
I know, I was looking for a kit of any of the other Mk's but not many around and expensive. I'd love to do another of these, very fun build. Thanks.
That's impressive
Thank you.
Great work and thanks for sharing the tips. I always struggle when it comes to electrical connections resistors etc...
Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad you liked the video. Keep at it and it should get easier with practice.
@@Johnny_Electronic I have a tuff time figuring out the resistance and such...
If it is just for the LED's, Light House LED has a nice table for 2v and 3v LED's that make it easy to select a resistor value. Here is an example, click on the quick selection guide.

Thanks I will check it out.@@Johnny_Electronic
Just came across your build video of the Mk 1 Viper. I would like to ask if you would share your arduino sketch you used on your build. Thank you for posting your build 🙂👍
I've not set up a Git account yet but send me an email and I'll send you the files.
@@Johnny_Electronic Thank you for responding back to my message and to sharing your arduino sketch. Could you tell where I may find your e-mail address? Thanks again 🙂
Hmm, I thought it was viewable from the about link. Anyway I actually got a git account setup so here you go:
