The decals cracked the second I slid them off the backing paper. I managed to salvage the names, but the colonial emblem for the top was unsalvageable so I had to remove it. It also wouldn’t budge so I had to scrape it off showing the brass photoetch underneath. Kinda like it this way though so might keep it. #BattlestarGalactica#Pegasus#4105Scale#ScaleModels # ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx
While I wait for the paint to dry on the #Enterprise G, I’ll be continuing work on number 8 on the list of “models I started last year and really need to finish”. The #Battlestar#Pegasus. I used paint masks to add some panels in a lighter shade, painted the larger recessed areas Gunmetal and painted the red stripes at the front. Still got some details to paint (might take a while). #BattlestarGalactica#BSG#4105Scale#ScaleModels#ModelBuilder#MKMModelwerx
I think there's more #nature than nurture. I was 5 when #StarTrek, #BattlestarGalactica, #StarWars, The Man from #Atlantis, Bionic Woman, etc were my thing. The lengths I'd go to not miss Star Trek reruns at that age! Soaps and dramas were made for "stupid people who complicate life for no reason", was my opinion as a little kid. That opinion hasn't changed at all now, at 50 yo. I fall asleep with most human-caused #drama. It doesn't teach me anything new.
In fact, @mina and I, as well as many others, just had an interesting discussion about my all-time favorite #SciFi saga, #Dune, including its remake. 🤜🤛
Awesome scene from #BattlestarGalactica S2 E9 Flight of the Phoenix. Laura is facing her own mortality from her worsening breast cancer, the fleet and Adama had to trust a Cylon (Boomer) to survive a massive attack and the flight deck comes together to build a stealth viper out of thin air.
The reveal of the christened ship as ‘Laura’ gives all the geeky feels. 🥹 Bear McCreary’s music is the cherry on top. 😭 🥰
I do wish things hadn’t gone south with Cain and the Pegasus QUITE so fast on #BattlestarGalactica. Would have been better to have a slower dramatic burn over several episodes but it is what it is. This two-parter is just amazing all around.
This single scene from the 3-part Pegasus ep of #BattlestarGalactica brought tears to my eyes. I think this is the first time Adama and Roslin truly realize they love each other. I adore the way he tends to her and takes her weakened hand all while she implores him to kill Cain. “We’ll see you tomorrow?” Bill asks. Laura w/ tears “Mm-hmm.” 🥺
This is also the first time we hear Bear McCreary’s emotional ‘Roslin and Adama’ theme which foreshadows the end of their story arc. So so good.
