I can't believe I did this one in one night. I found some very good references and decided to do a profile view of the BSG Viper. This would be the version from the Sci-Fi Channel remake.
My only issue with it is I couldn't track down the correct font for all the markings. I used a similar font, but I suspect that they created a new one specifically for this purpose.

It looks very nice, especially with all those markings, but as far as I can tell, it's slightly too short and too tall.

This is the old Mark II Viper, old ship of Adama, not the Mark VII Viper. Mk VII is much more ugly

It sure is: you ever see the unused design made for the BSG series that stalled in pre-production?
That one looks gooood.

Oooh, nice! Are other views in the pipeline? Please say yes.
True to form, I am now going to disagree with everyone in the universe and add that I actually liked the Mk. VIII too. Although not as much as the Mk. II.

Camoflauge in space= goofy.
Nice renders though.
Shame the cylon ships suck so hard though..... Mabye they'll make something cool once the series starts.

Well, if I did anything other than that particular camo pattern, some might not recognize it as a Russian paint job.

If camoflage is irrelevant in space, who's to say they can't have camoflage for fighting in an atmosphere? It's not as if having a three-tone paint job will make them more vulnerable to guided missiles launched from a frillion klicks away. They could paint the bloody things lime green if they wanted to.
