Colonial One Battlestar Galactica from Moebius
Click on pictures to enlarge.
Das Modell hat den Maßstab 1:350 und wurde 2014 von Moebius aufgelegt.
Es handelt sich um ein kleineres Modell, das aber schön zu bauen ist.

Since it should not be placed on a stand, but will find space on a platform, the holder had to be locked.
The Colonial One bridge will have a navigation light. For this, the space for the light guide with a diameter of 0.5mm had to be milled between the two halves.
One of the 3 engines. My idea was to accommodate two different light colors here. Therefore, a bridge had to be fitted to separate the red and yellow light.
The windows in the hull are very large. Therefore, light guides with a diameter of 1mm should fit exactly, but this should lead to difficulties in retrospect.
Top and bottom of an engine. The two SMDs with red and yellow can be clearly seen. The "blind" windows are fitted in the second half. These had to be made precisely and are necessary so that the SMDs do not dazzle and the light is refracted. The inside is painted matt black so that no light shines through.
Another drive with red and yellow SMDs
This is what the locked drive with the blind window would look like. The light is refracted and the SMD radiates over the entire field.
The structure was also equipped with two yellow SMDs for the large windows. The side parts with light guide.
Since the Colonial One will stand on a platform, the power supply can be led through the front stand foot.
Der Fuß ist sehr filigran und daher war ein sehr sorgfältiges Arbeiten gefordert. Vor allem durfte beim Befestigen auf der Plattform keine Stromversorgung mehr sichtbar sein.
The top of the fuselage is equipped with light guides with a diameter of 1mm. Since there were a lot of windows, the LEDs almost ran out of space.
Im nächsten Schritt wurde der Aufbau auf den Rumpf gesetzt. Hier wurde es zum ersten Mal schon eng mit den Lichtleitern und LEDs.
As always, the holes first had to be drilled, primed and painted so that the light guides could only then be inserted. Since the structure did not fit 100%, it had to be reworked.
