Over the years I’ve tried out several different types of stands and bases for my miniatures, but I think I’ve finally settled on the using the Omni-Stand system from Corsec Engineering. What I like about it is that it is very versatile, especially when combined with a few accessories from a fine tool store like …
I decided to give 3D printing a try via Shapeways, so I ordered two batches of ships from them, mostly in the cheapest format, “White, Strong, Flexible”. This post is a listing of the ships that I ordered for reference, I’ll describe how they worked out with painting in future posts. The “1/270” scale is …
I did some more work on my very tiny Battlestar Galactica miniatures. I primed the rest of the ships and got the TOS Vipers and both sets of Cylons painted. I used Tamiya Fine Surface Primer on them, which worked very well, and then I used some Sharpie Extra Fine Paint pens to do …

I have been working on adapting West End Games Star Wars Revised and Expanded Roleplaying game, along with D6 Space and a few other D6 related materials into a Battlestar Galactica Roleplaying game. The fan based “Star Wars Revised, Expanded, Updated” project has been very helpful in this as it’s pulled in a lot of …

For Cylons I …

The next miniature up for painting is Cloud Nine, which is from the Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. It is a massive luxury liner that has a huge pressurized dome attached to the main ship. The dome provides a realistic simulation of a planetary surface including an artificial holographic sky. It is similar in concept to …
My set of miniatures included two labeled “Columbia Class Battlestar”. It seems that this is referring to the ship in the BSG – Razor episodes. The Columbia in that episode is similar to the Galactica but has additional armour plating where the Galactica has ribs. It also has blue strips and markings rather than red, …
I’ve now primed my fleet of miniatures and am ready to start painting. I figured I would start with a fairly easy one, and one that I had a good reference to work off of, so I picked the Galactica from the Reimagined series. It looks like the mold was almost a direct copy of …

I ordered a bunch of Battlestar Galactica Miniatures from Ravenstar Studios quite some time ago, a couple of Fleet packs and a few individual ships. I’ve finally sorted them out and matched the miniatures to their names. Most of them haven’t been touched yet with the exception of one of the new Cylon Baseships and …

Happy New Year! 2014 was a pretty good year for me, although I didn’t do any posting to this blog, maybe I’ll post a few more things in 2015. The sidebars on what I’m reading and my Fitness goals get more updates than anything else here. As far as projects I worked on in 2014, …
