That is a lot of fiber in the front section - it's amazing it all fits! Although I prefer a warm white rather than cool white for the battlestar your lighting still looks good, especially the blue glow on those engines. Nice job!

JD
Very awesome dude! You're lighting your models, that's what I want to do! Bravo!

Alexander Kosyra
Thank you so much! The videos and pictures on my website show even more of my models. www.kosymo.de

Torsten Wendt
Echt der Hammer, diese Beleuchtungen kommen immer , leider so gar nicht mein Ding, von daher großen Respekt für deine Arbeit und diese schöne Modell

Starbase101
I couldn't find videos at your website, but the pictures are wonderful. I admire your faithful representations of how the ships look. Most impressive, Obi-wan has taught you well...

Torsten Wendt
Klasse gemacht

Alexander Kosyra
Danke Dir! Mit Video und Ton ist es natürlich noch besser.

Starbase101
Looks great! But why all the circuit boards? I see 5 separate boards but this ship's lighting isn't that complicated, even with moving Cylon "eyes" and sound.

JD
Respect!

Alexander Kosyra
The many boards are for 2X the visor (different directions) flickering effect for the drive, sound module, flash module, converter from 9V to 5 volts. There is a video on my website www.kosymo.de.

Starbase101
Well, it still looks great and this kit does have the volume for so many dedicated boards. Flickering blue LEDs (2 or 3 for each engine) could be used for the engines (thus no board needed), a 5V regulator (single component) could be used for stepping down 9V while also providing a regulated voltage to the circuits, one chaser could be used for all 3 Cylons (fibers in different arrangements to achieve different movement for each visor), and a flash circuit could be on the same board as the chaser since the circuits are small and don't use a lot of components. The sound board I'd keep as a separate board. I'm not criticizing your build - it turnd out great. Just giving some tips for how you could simplify things for other (smaller) projects. I went to your website and couldn't find any videos (although I was at a disadvantage for not being able to read any of the pages) but there are a lot of nice photos. You've got a lot of wonderful builds!

Starbase101
Wow, this turned out great! That is a LOT of fiber! Nice job!

JD
I believe I've just soiled myself ... An absolute masterpiece! I'm so envious, an amazing work of art... I throw down my tools in frustration...

Alexander Kosyra
No Please not. Just keep going. Just be inspired.

JD
Thank you! I will!

Greg Baker
Now THAT is LIT!

Adam Gudynowski
Great effect (!)

Alexander G.
Seriously amazing...

Łukasz Gliński
Fabulous one

Andreas Roth
This looks really good !
Especially the impacts are eye-catching, they "break" the monotone cold blue light.

Sehe den erst jetzt, toll was Du daraus gemacht hast. Wie hat er sich gebaut, man hört ja auch durchaus schlechte Krtiken wegen der Qualität? Woher sind die kleinen Flieger im Hangar? Danke schon mal

Alexander Kosyra
Hi Torsten, Danke Dir! Das war eine einzige Katastrophe. Es war alles gebogen und musste mit dem Fön halbwegs wieder gerade gemacht werden. Viele Luftblasen in den Teilen und sehr unförmig das Ganze. Ich würde ihn nicht mehr kaufen. Aber über einen Meter ist schon eine Erscheinung. Die kleinen Flieger hat ein Kumpel von mir gedruckt.

scalemates
love it

Frank Krüger
.... great color! Wow ... and a super model !!! I love the fantastic lighting !!!

Slavo Hazucha
Excellent cockpit

Love the paint-job too - Battlestar Galactica Schneider-Trophy equivalent?

Alexander Kosyra
Thank you so much! Glad if you like the models.

Pierre Vauthier
very original color, very refreshing excellent !

JD
Wow, wish I could read what's going on, but I'm following nevertheless...

Alexander Kosyra
Hi, I already have more pictures on my website www.kosymo.de. The site is only under construction.

Greg Baker
This is great. What kind of fibre optics are you using? I've tried a bit, but only medium to low success.

Alexander Kosyra
Hi, I'm using 0.5mm and 0.25mm optical fibers. I get it here on the 1000 meter roll.

Choppa Nutta
cool project !

Where are the plastic shells from ?

Greg Baker
It's from a Revell kit. He hasn't attached it to the project, but I saw the box on his website... that, and a lot of stuff that blew my mind...

Choppa Nutta
ah so, for some reason his website didn't work on my computer ... I did try though

For a moment there I was thinking what kind of cakes come in that packaging ??

Greg Baker
Haha!

jhull123
So cool!!

JD
WTF !?! That's outrageous!

Alexander G.
Wow, that's a lot of work

Erik No
Picture 6 - OMG! :thumbup:

David Taylor
Oh my .

JD
YEE-HAW! That's frickin' awesome! More pics please!

Alexander Kosyra
Hi JD, many thanks!
