Part 1 - Reference for the Classic Battlestar Galactica Studio Model
For those still trying to accurate their Classic Battlestar Galactica kits, I will be presenting the studio model images in 4 parts after this post. All these images are courtesy of Mr. Kurt Kuhn of Modelermagic.com. These were taken from the Gary Cannavo's Collection, and all the images have been proclaimed by Mr. Kuhn himself to be "Public Domain", meaning now everyone can have access to them. God bless you sir.
Do take note that although this studio model is the same one used during the filming of the TV series, restoration work had been done to her at the time these images were taken. Hence they are not entirely as she was in terms of what was seen on TV. According to Mr. Kuhn regarding the studio model:
"Now, it should be noted that these photos were taken by Chris Pappas directly after the Mark Bradley restoration was done. What this means is that while these photos are detailed, this is not accurate (part for part) to how it was originally seen on screen.
However, the good news is that the owner of the Galactica Studio Filming Model, and my friend, Gary Cannavo has since spent thousands of dollars restoring this original filming model to it’s original specs… part for part! It can now be seen in it’s original glory on Gary’s site BATTLEBUCK.COM "
With this in mind, you can now use them as a source for your reference. All the reference images have been reduced in size as the original's size were too large.
It's very interesting to see the first photo where the model is against a while shirt. That light grey on the model is lighter than I would have thought.
