Sexy lookin' ship ...

Methinks we finally get to see her again tonight ... first time since "Kobol's Last Gleaming Pt. II."

Posted by Irishman (Member # 1188) on :

I have really dug this ship since the new BSG came out. A lot of complicated lines and geometry, and you've done a great job bringing her to 2D life.

Any chance we'll get other views of her?

Fun fact - the "cargo deck" set for Colonial One is actually the car deck of this fine vessel:

Right down to the concrete flooing, if you look closely. One wonders if their colonial transports often lose rudder control and smash into private yacht docks. [Wink]

I suspected they'd used a ferry for the cargo hold when I saw the mini-series. It seamed far to real to be a set. I have to wonder though, where on the exterior is there a door big enough to allow a viper to enter?

Very nice work. I think I'll have to get the DVDs of this show.

Posted by OnToMars (Member # 621) on :

Very nice. What's the graphic on the front end there? The duckboat looking thing?

Posted by B.J. (Member # 858) on :

Thanks for the comments, guys. At this time, I'm not really planning on doing any other views. If anything, I would only do a top view, but the other views just don't look good.

@OnToMars: The graphic on the front end is the Intersun logo, which is a stylized Pegasus head and wings. The word "Intersun" is in the overly lengthened wings.

Thanks!
Nope. Corel Draw 8.

I spent a good five minutes scrutinizing the picture Mark linked to, trying to match up features between the real ship and Colonial One, until I finally realized that he was probably talking about the inside of the cargo deck.

You're joking, right? :-)

Actually while watching Space Cadets a few years ago I had a similar "no brainer" moment. They had this thing on the show where they would go into the commercial break and leave viewers with a question. On one occasion they showed pictures of two actors and asked which film connected them. They showed a picture of Ben Kingsley and a picture of Michael Madsen - the answer, obviously, being Species.

Except.....the picture they used for Ben Kingsley was one when he was in Gandhi, so I spent (and I swear I am this stupid) an entire commercial break trying to work out what the hell film could possibly ever have linked Mohandas Gandhi to Michael bloody Madsen.

I still remember being alone in my room blushng with embarassment after that commercial break. So don't feel too bad about the cargo deck! [Smile]

Michael Madsen is Mangal Pandey.

Nice drawing, BJ.

Gahndi....

Walked everywhere so his feet were very calloused,
was very lean and had bad breath from his diet, and
formed a new way of thinking...

So...

He was a super calloused fragile mystic with chronic halitosis.

BJ! Another Awesome Picture! I love how you Have The Mk. II Flying Escort, To Serve As A Size Comparison Ofcourse :)Any Plans Of Doing Perhaps A Cylon Raider, Possibly Some Of The Bigger Capial Ships (Battlestars And/Or Basetars)?

Someone loves the shift key ...

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :

But hates the Return key.
What did the Return key ever do to you?

He can never forgive it... for the death of his boy.
