The 1978 version of the Galactica has always been one of my favorite sci-fi subjects. I’ve spent years studying the original filming model and I even designed and helped build a replica that became a centerpiece of Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition in Seattle, Washington USA.

In all this time, however, I had never laid eyes on the original studio miniature. I’m fortunate to know the owner of the model. He has gone to great lengths (and expense) to rescue and preserve many of the original filming miniatures from both Galactica and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. He had even asked me to help him replace some missing parts that were no longer on the Galactica. Unfortunately, he lives on the opposite side of the country from me. So, until now, I had not been able to make the trip.

All that...

I again have the great honor of introducing a professional artist to this Gallery… Mr. Phil Curl from the Land Down Under! As you can see with this fantastic reproduction of the Colonial Movers Studio Model that Phil mastered… he certainly has no lack of talent! As a matter of fact, I would place this piece among the top two reproductions of the Colonial Movers Studio Model I have seen to date! An absolutely beautiful job by professional modeler Phil Curl! We are honored to be able to show his works here to all of you.
