Viper is one of the all time classic science fiction designs, looks way better than a Star Wars X Wing
It's more iconic and the X-Wing looks too much like a regular plane but I do love the way the wings open up before an attack. Thanks for watching.
Oh nice! The original Battlestar Galactica Viper fighter remains one of my all-time favorite science fiction vehicles.
I agree. It just has a classic shape like the Mustang. Thanks for watching
The original Vipers were the best. Well done
Thanks for watching
I loved this show when I was a kid, well, I say that, but really I loved the ship your building and their guns. The viper is one of the all time best designed and coolest sci-fi ships ever made. Really wish there was more 78 Battlestar Galactica figures, collectibles, etc out there
It was such a great show for it's time. Thanks for watching
Wow, that brings back memories, love the detail, well done agaain.
Thanks
As an 8 year old, I loved BSG (1978)!!! Christmas that year there were Vipers and Cylons under the tree for me and my brother. The ones that actually had the red shootable missiles. This is a fantastic build! You are the man!
Thanks so much
Looking forward to checking out your other videos. Maybe a 3D printer someday in my future 😊. Keep up the great work.
It was a game changer for me
78 the next best sci-fi..knock off show..since star wars came out..LOVE THE MOVIE & SERIES & SFX👍👍👍
One of the best shows at the time. Thanks for watching
@@ScaleModelGeek ....love the GOLD AND SILVER CYLONS
Watched the whole series 78..AWESOME SHOW
Adama...the great commander
Bloody awesome mate
Thanks
I remember watching this tv show as a kid and I'm here to say it was wonderful... I was a hard sell on the remake but learned to love it after I gave it a chance too...
I instantly thought the reboot was great because of the opening scene on the diplomatic space station. After that... I was hooked. Thanks for watching
Fantastic Job!!!!!
Thanks
amazing detailing repaint ... it's so cool
Thank you
You sir… you are a master !!
Thank you very much
Super cool
Remember actually building the original model. Brings back some memories 😊 Well done 👏
I think I have that Monogram kit in my stash somewhere. Thanks for watching
amazing
Thanks
awesome work
Thanks
I would call it a canopy. It was cool watching you build this model.
Brings back memories. Great work!
One of my fave shows. Thanks for watching
Great job on the build.
The Colonial Viper is my favorite design of the classical sci fi ships from the late 70s early 80s period. Over the X-Wing and the star fighter from Buck Rogers. Probably because of its angular, semi-aggressive appearance and low-profile. Versus the wider winged X-wing and Star Fighter ships.
It really has become a classic design. To this day, it still looks great. Thanks for watching
It turned out FANTASTIC!! I have always wanted a nice VIPER mk.1 diorama!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching
So cool!! Great video to watch. I wish I had that skill and patience.
There is only one way to get those skills happening and that's to start building. Thanks for watching
Ive been on the fence about buying Alains files but this pushed me over the side. Beautiful work sir.
I was very happy with the detail with Alain's files and you now that you get all those accessories with the Viper is a 'win win'. I'll be doing the Viper again but next time in 1/24th scale. Thanks for watching.
It was amazing. Thanks Scale you are great.
Thanks for watching Alonzo
@@ScaleModelGeek we loved this show.
Very impressive sir! 👏
Thanks for watching
really cool modifications you did there and great result!
Thanks
Excellent work.
Congratulations
Thank you
I really like the screen images that you found. Your attention to detail is appreciated.
Thanks
Love your work, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Great video, great results! Love the nostalgia and passion.
After all these years... it's still one of my fave shows. Thanks for watching
WHITE AS THE OCEAN.red-hot Chilly Peooers.SNOW :
What an amazing diorama. Great work and I like the female flight team idea.
So do I. I thought that was a nice touch.
That was a amazing build. I have the revell kit and am looking forward to building it on my channel. Love all the solutions you found to the issues you had with the build. End result is great.
Finding solutions is part of scale modeling and part of the fun. Thanks for watching.
Looks amazing!!! 😊
Thanks for watching
So beautiful.
Thanks
I would love to do a Mark1, I just did a Mark2 with files I found on printables. Was a well detailed model. Mark 1 is my next attempt, but!...45 bucks...whoooo there!.
These things can get a bit pricey. Thanks for watching
Very nice build! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Wow. This is absolutely beautiful. Really well made. Love it!
Thanks
it's such a good build. the stairs need a lock bar for safety
Holy crap! You're an Aussie. Nice job, it brings back memories. The old series was by far the best.
Sure am. Melbourne boy. Thanks for watching
@@ScaleModelGeek Border boy myself.
I think it is time for a model workspace walk through, and all your models on display. Great work as always mate well done.
My model workspace will take about 3 seconds to film!
This is excellent!
nicely done....beautiful piece
Thanks and thanks for watching.
If only the monigram kit was that nice..great work
It is a very nice kit. Thanks for watching
Awesome Build.
Thanks
Very well done.
Thanks
Dude this is AWESOME! I fortunately have original kits to use (other than the launch rails and steps. This video is BIGTIME inspirational! GREAT JOB!!
Thanks for watching
Great job.
Thanks Tom
Take a drink every time the narrator says, "actual". 😆
Yeah, that's actually a problem I have in real life as well. LOL
Cool effects. 🖌
Thanks
launch control girl 😍
Thanks for watching
I consider the 1978 series to be the real Battlestar Galactica. Some may feel free to disagree but to me, the show was the TV version of Star Wars. I bought the whole series on DVD a while back and enjoyed watching every episode. George Lucas even copied some of the BSG hangar scenes for the prequel trilogy! I noticed that right away and thought it was cool that he did that. Turnabout is fair play.
I totally dig the build video, great work!
I remember sitting there glued to the TV watching the series. I just couldn't get enough of it. Thank for watching.
You have some skills my friend! Nice work!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Spectacular
Thanks
@@ScaleModelGeek I wanna do one! Wonder if it’ll fit full size on my Mars 2 Pro without having to cut the sections up. I need a bigger Resin Machine 😂
Even shrinking down I had some issues in making it all fit
As a devoted 'Enthusiast' of the 'Original' 1978 Series! I really want to THANK YOU, SIR!
I watched you execute this utterly amazing, Step-by-step Colonial Viper 'build'! I took screen shots of the 'links', that you generously provided.
Please bear with a somewhat 'clueless' 68 yesr old's ignorance of '3D printer tech'. But can you please tell me, just what 3D printer, and 'software', did you use to assemble the components for your viper?
I use the Anycubic Mono X pritner with Chitubox tp slice the model. Thanks for watching
1:24 or 1:32 deathstar would be a fun little project.
Yeah, I just gotta find a couple of football fields to build it in.
@@ScaleModelGeek
No problem, lol.
Now you've got me wondering what a diorama of a Cylon hangar would look like...
There are a couple on UA-cam that have done that
Liking the upload. And I would of made the same decision with the hanger crew!!!!! Lol
Thanks for watching
Excellent work! Your Viper diorama looks great! I have a soft spot in my heart for the original BSG, maybe because I grew up in that era. 3D printing technology is amazing, scale up or scale down, scale to your exact specifications and the sky is the limit as to what subjects can be made! I look forward to seeing what you'll do next! Will it be Space: 1999? Captain Scarlet? Joe 90? Transformers? Star Trek? Keep us posted!
Thanks Max. 3D printing is such a game changer. It just adds another dimension to my arsenal of tools let's me create things I could never do before like figures. I was always limited to parts that I have but now, I can create them from scratch and as my proficiency with 3D software improves, so will my ideas. Space: 1999 has always been a fave of mine.
Bought the kit from Alain, he's a REALLY great guy! Unfortunately the launch pad is a separate purchase, but it looks so awesome that I'll get it anyway!
Oh, when I made that video last month it was a complete kit. Enjoy building the Viper
@@ScaleModelGeek Starting the printing process now, can’t wait to get it built! I think I’m going to keep the original cockpit and pilot though, we’ll see.
@@Shooter_FPV I think he's using the pilot that I created in his kit now
@@ScaleModelGeek Yea, it looks like it, but not the “thumbs up” guy, from what I saw.
@@ScaleModelGeek Hey... question... I just bought your Cockpit Upgrade parts, and I totally forgot to check the scale. Are the parts actually 1/24? If so, do you happen to know what percent scale I need to reduce them to so they fit 1/32?
Uncle Myxlplyx would go on and on from the 5th dimension about this show. Then I watched it and saw why, counting Galactica 1980 as well.
Now that's a mouthful. Thanks for watching
@@ScaleModelGeekHey, I'm attracted to QUALITY WORK. Your Welcome.
the piece that covers the cockpit is called a canopy, great work model looks amazing new sub!!
Thanks and thanks for watching
Very nice.
When I watched the show, I never understood where the vipers launched from. They never really showed that in the series, they just showed a vague overhead shot of them flying out. It wasn't until I got the model kit of the Galactica that I realized that the launch tubes were angled along the outside of the landing bays.
Interesting. I didn't know that either
@@ScaleModelGeek Most of the shots of the vipers launching would show a top view of the front of the port (left) landing bay and the vipers would fly out at about a 45 degree angle. It always looked to me like they were coming from under the ship.
On the model, as poorly detailed as it was, there are a series of angled notches on the side of each landing bay. That's when it dawned on me that those are where the launch tubes are..
At first glance, I thought the image at 0:10 in the video was a top view of the landing bay, with the angled portions at the top and bottom being the sloped sides. Looking at it more closely, I realize that the camera is sitting in the end of one of the launch tubes, looking toward the next one. The middle section with the stripe is an angled wall, separating the launch tubes, below that is the "floor" that the camera is sitting on, and above that is the "ceiling". If the camera were to pan to the right (in universe), you'd see the red-lit triangular end of a launch tube.
I guess they didn't have the budget to build a model that could show a viper actually emerging from a launch tube.
The original BSG had the best bridge of any ship. In all sci-fi todate. The model you have made is awesome. Just one criticism, the female flight engineers. They look daft. And they should have helmets on.
Man, that really turned out great. I love the level of detail in this. Pretty glad I stumbled acorss your channel. One question for you, regarding your Vallejo paints, what do you use to clean out your airbrush with? Personally I use both Vallejo and Tamiya but I find the Vallejo tends to gum up the airbrush when I try and clean it, even if I am using the Vallejo airbrush cleaner. Similar experiences for you? I love the colors Vallejo offers but the Tamiya is just so damn easy to clean up! Tamiya airbrush cleaner is the bomb!
I just use water. Once I've cleaned it out, I then squirt a few drops of Vallejo thinners in the cup and run that through. Thanks for watching
@@ScaleModelGeek thanks. Appreciate the reply.
Amazing work! Lots of techniques there I’ll keep in mind for a future diorama I have planned. Love that you included all your issues with the models. Isn’t 3D printing a great too? 😊
I try and make sure everyone gets to see the full experience I had with the build. 3D printing opened up soooo many extra avenues for me. Thanks for watching.
As good as the 2003 TV series was of Battlestar Galactica, the 1978 will always have a certain charm to it. Did you prefer the spacecraft for the original or the re-imagined 2003 version?
This was really great work.
I definitely prefer the 1978 version. I was seven or eight years old at that time, and I loved the show. I did 3D models of the Colonial Viper and the Cylon Raider for my portfolio. They were modeled and UV mapped in Maya, then textured and rendered in Substance Painter. I found the most enjoyable part of the texturing process to be making them look "dirty", not like they were fresh off of an assembly line, but like they had seen some action.
@@och70 It was some of the same effects guys that did Star Wars so they would have a very similar realistic aesthetic. Thanks for watching
@@ScaleModelGeek Yeah, I've seen some very cool documentary videos about it. If I'm remembering correctly, the ILM guys didn't have Lucasfilm's permission to use that equipment, so they had to stop, or there was going to be legal trouble. They had to use a lot of recycled shots of the ships for dogfights, etc., because of that.
@@och70 Correct and lucky I was too young to realize footage was constantly recycled.
@@ScaleModelGeek Same for me. you can totally see it now, but back then, I didn't even know what "recycled footage" would have meant.
I believe the word you’re looking for was canopy.
Not for nothing but I seem to recall the cockpit sliding forward to access the Viper vs lifting up...
I thought so too till I saw the footage of their first launch that I have at the start of my video.
I have the old Monogram kit. Thanks for the ideas. Re the video clip, I've always wondered just why the Viper had an artificial horizon. Referring to what??
They do often fly in an atmosphere but for space... who knows
@@ScaleModelGeek Good point. Duh!
Fantastic video and build, thank you for sharing. 😊 If I wanted to get a 3d printer,any recommendations.
I personally use the Anycubic Mono X which has been a great workhorse. Thanks for watching.
Good job, I made the entire 1/32 launch ramp and bay area. When I was in the process of 3D printing mine, I had to order all of the figures from an online store in the UK, and being from the US, it was costly plus they only sold the figures and not .stl files. I see your file for the pilot but was wondering where you got the helmet from.
The helmet came with the original Viper files. Thanks for watching
If you ever want to recoup some of your costs I would be interested in buying the printed Viper and cockpit/pilot pieces. 1/32 is good as it would match up with my Mobius kits to a degree.
Great Job on the Build, One question where did you find the file for the helmet, I didnt see it in any of the link to the modified parts. Also I would have printed the Lift platfrom on its side instead of upright. Less supports needed and most of the supports connections would have been hidden in the inside of the rails
It was part of the original Viper files if I remember rightly.

Hi . Awsome job, are the SLT release anywhere? thanks
Check the description for links
BG was not a movie. It was a tv series.
Correct but it came out as a movie first in some foreign countries. Glen Larson had envisioned Battlestar Galactica as a series of made-for-TV movies (a three-hour pilot program and two two-hour episodes) for the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). A shortened version of the three-hour pilot, Saga of a Star World, was screened in Canadian theaters (before the TV series was telecast) and in American, European and Australian theaters later on. Instead of two additional TV movies, ABC decided to commission a weekly TV series of one-hour episodes.
Cockpit roof = Canopy
I am a huge Galactica fan. One thing I really don't get. Why are turbine air intakes needed in a vacuum?
The Vipers often travelled in an atmosphere
Where did you buy the kit from, nice job thanks
The link is in the description
I have no tech know How or printer knowledge. Is this kit something I can pre printed for me to build?
Check the description section for links to the model. Thanks for watching
Let me know how much that would cost to make, I would love one but with light up lights as looks like ready to launch.
¿Turbinas en naves que van por el vacío?
They also regularly fly in an atmosphere
You have done Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica.....Any plans for some Star Trek?
Yeah, I have a couple of diorama ideas I'm trying to finalize the concept
@@ScaleModelGeek Awesome! Can't wait to see that!
I like the 2003 version, but I actually prefer the older designs, and upon rewatching the 2003 version recently, I started to feel like it was "too grounded" for its own good, using bullets and stuff in space is a pretty silly idea even in fiction (I know the HALO and Warhammer 40K nerds will want to throw hands over that) plus you really could tell the writers had no clue (which they admitted) over what to do when it came to long term arcs (of course it never got as silly as Galactica 1980 but it wasn't to far off with some of the mystical final five stuff)
Galactica 1980 just went off the rails. Thanks for watching
Are you going to make the modified files available?
I'm not confident my modification are up to standard to Alain Rivard's work but I am thinking about uploading to Thingiverse
The files are now available: www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/space/spaceship/battlestar-galactica-colonial-viper-cockpit-upgrade-bsg
The Viper was always my favourite Starfighter...This really is great work. Happy Holidays from the UK👍
I remember watching it on TV and I couldn't get enough of the show. Thanks for watching
Good day mate could you please put up the link we’re we can buy this model 🍻
It's in the description
Firstly Alains files show that that piece the canopy fixes to has a hinge at one end, it looked like you didnt have that part or you put it in backwards, secondly why break the seat to get it out when you just needed to cut or break the part you are removing.
Original viper is still the best
I agree
Couldn't you have just cut down the piece behind the seat with an excto knife until it was in two pieces and then removed it like that?
Possibly
@@ScaleModelGeek been in that situation a time or two, it's the simple answers we miss in the moment.
Can you make me one? how much they cost
Nice models, but that guy needs to take some feedback from actual model builders on how to separate parts so they can be painted. I can't imagine painting that cockpit the way it comes and at $50 it's a bit expensive to have to mess around with to make it an enjoyable build.
It had it's challenges but I enjoyed building the Viper. One day I'll get around to doing it in 1/24th scale. Thanks for watching
