This is the Fantastic Plastic 1/48th scale Cylon Raider from the New Battlestar Galactica series on the Sci-Fi Channel. After multiple attempts I gave up trying to do the shading of panels on this kit. I was just never satisfied with the contrast, it was usually too much. Instead I opted for an all Titanium version w/some accents. I just need to build a base for it…
Enjoy!
Looks great, John! Definite WonderFest award winner, IMNSHO. I’ve got the 1/72 scale version of the kit and hope I can do have as good whenever I get around to building it.
As for bases, check out The Model Base. They recently added a Cylon Emblem base to their lineup.
Man… The paint finish on that raider is just sweet… I think the lines of the ship break it up enough to not warrant any panelling!.. Great job…

Beautiful job, love the color(what is it, by the way). I have the studio scale one waiting on the pile.
The overall color is Model Masters Metalizer Titanium. I played around with using different shades of grey to try and better match some of the screen captures I had but I was never satisfied. So I tried this, liked it and stuck with it…
Wow just a beautiful finish, congrats on a great build and finish.
