[LDD] Battlestar Pegasus (MOC recreation)

[ultor]

I love BSG & LEGO, and this two together..... :)))

I have removed this MOC from Rebrickable and Bricksafe while I refresh the design and work on producing ($) building instructions.

Check my Flickr feed for WIP updates.

So its been a while, and I'm wondering if you ever got around to doing a cylon basestar

I would love to see how you do to complex triangle that nuked everyone.

Sadly I've had an almost total lack of creativity on the Lego front for the past year... I haven't been able to design a thing since I drafted up some landing bays for the Pegasus (see my flickr feed) a while ago.

I just went to your Flickr page, and I am extremely impressed with the amount of progress you have made. Is it still in scale with the original Galactica, or is that gonna get redesigned as well? I can't wait to see the finished model, and will definitely buy instructions when and if they come out!

Hey, thanks!

As to scale, I'd say it really depends on your reference source - some images I've found have them a bit closer in size than others. For me, I think my Galactica design is close enough for jazz but maybe just a little small in comparison to the way the Pegasus has worked out.

Thanks for the support re: instructions, but I've stumbled on another design block with the gator-head "chin" in the past few months. I'm so close but frustratingly just not able to make much progress - plus life & work gets in the way when you're a middle-aged guy and makes it hard to maintain focus...

Be patient with me!

Planning on picking up the instructions as soon as I can. This has been one of my favorite projects to follow along with, and you've done incredible work. Everything looks amazing, and I can't wait to build them. I'm excited to see what you do next, man!

Awesome, thank you! I hope you enjoy the process and that you've got plenty of room reserved to display it! This one truly is a Beast!

Here's a render comparing the original version at the start of this thread (not everything imported into Studio so it's a little incomplete but OK for the purposes of this shot) to my newer version:

Here is my full Flickr album of the V2 design.

Here is the thread on the redesign.

...and here is the Rebrickable page for V2.

You have two -no three- good choices: either in the Fleet, at the Scorpian Shipyards, or (a far stretch, I know) next to Ragnar Station.😛
