Most everyone remembers the film Armageddon, and the reason the mission specific shuttles were built. Showing here today is a fantastic build by Chris Callaghan whom completely re-vamped the Revell kit into the beautiful miniature replica of one of the shuttles seen in that blockbuster film. Beautifully done!
The B-9 Robot…everyone in my generation knows this machine from Lost in Space. Recently artist Chris Callaghan revisited a former build he did of the Robot, making it even more realistic to the full sized unit used in the series. Very well done!
Here is what Chris has to say…
I *very* recently revisited my Robot. I redid the paint job, fabricated a new chest light piece out of clear Viper canopy sprues and fixed the over-sized shoulder hooks. He’s so shiny now!

“DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!” That is what I hear in my head when I see this Robot B9! Artist Chris Callaghan captures this character perfectly with flailing arms even! This is only one of many different sized in his collections of B9’s. Very nicely done!
Here is what Chris has to say…
This is my Robot from Lost In Space. A member at the RPF asked what others did to their B9’s, so since it was out, I snapped these pix:
It’s the vinyl Masudaya 15 1/2″ talking kit. I painted him up to look first season, and totally redid the claws, they were SO toy-like! I spent hours puttying, cutting, gluing, sanding, etc. The rest of the model was basically assemble & paint. I’m still amazed at how accurate the kit is overall! The ‘talk box’ it comes with is SO cheap, though.
Cheers!

I love when artists do unique builds… and this is one of those. The term “Forced Perspective” is a term well used in the film industry as most of what we’ve viewed in past movie’s special effects. It deals with scenes that are seen close, but look as if what you see get’s further away from you. This is done with a variety of film trickery. This diorama by Chris Callaghan is fantastic in that same way…. showing us how deep the landing bay entrance is, while truly only being a few inches from the camera, and model displayed in the foreground. Chris even placed a smaller Viper in the stall next to the foreground Viper for better depth perception. Not to mention the shadow of the Viper and Crew member on the deck flooring! Nicely done!

Read MoreHere is another TOS Battlestar Galactica build from artist Christopher Callaghan. Using the Revell/Monogram kit, Chris turned this build into a piece worthy of a fine collection. I very much like the blast mark on the wing. Nicely done. It should be noted that the original Monogram kit was used in the original Television Series for a forced perspective shot in a Hangar Bay scene…. making it officially a Studio Scale model, albeit much smaller than it’s regularly used studio filming model cousin we view in all other scenes.

This is a great build of the Revell Monogram Colonial Viper by artist Christopher Callaghan. What really makes this piece is his weathering on this fighter. And I just love how his snow backdrops really make the model seem to pop. I love when artists utilize natural light and backdrops for the models. Nicely done. Another point of impression is how durable this model is even when thrust into real snow! It shocked me at first to see it that way. But what a beautiful shot it made! I hope Christopher doesn’t mind, but I took the liberty of digitally removing the stand from the Viper in the first photo. I couldn’t resist finding out what it would look like skimming the snowy surface.

Today I have the pleasure of introducing another artist to this Gallery… Mr. Christopher Callaghan. His first showing is of the Monogram Re-release from Revell models and was done pretty much as so. This is a great example of how good the original offered model kit can look with a paint job and extra attention to detail placed on where originally there was none on the kit. Christopher’s choice to photograph it in the snow was quite clever as well…. and made the Battlestar look even larger than the kit truly is. I am going to enjoy showing this artists works.
