1:35 Colonial Viper by Chris Lai

As promised that we would be showing more of the “off the shelf” professional kit builds, here is the next in line. Built from the old Revell Monogram kit, professional modeler Chris Lai made this piece look like a Studio Filming miniature! His use of paneled weathering is fantastic as is the finish of the piece! Very nice indeed, again showing that one doesn’t absolutely need to have an expensive studio scaled kit in order to have a very nice collection displayed!

TOS Cylon Raider by Christopher Callaghan

Here 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.

1:32 Colonial Viper by Christopher Callaghan

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.

1:4105 Battlestar GALACTICA built by Christopher Callaghan

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.
