(to make sure, this refers to the REAL Galactica not that messed up bloated thing they came up with recently!)Anyways, here are a couple of pics of the cast...
Left to right: Jolly (Tony Swartz), Boomer (Herbert Jefferson Jr), Sheba (Anne Lockhart), Commander Adama (Lorne Greene), Athena (Maren Jensen), Apollo (Richard Hatch), Cassiopeia (Laurette Spang), Starbuck (Dirk Benedict)
And since Colonel Tigh (Terry Carter) didn't wanna appear there, here he is with Adama.
This is probably my first favorite show. Despite its shortcomings by today's standards, it definetely still holds a place in my heart, and the credits music can uplift me just about anytime (the tech whistling that tune was probably the best moment of the "remake").
We had a colonial warrior in the works for... have no idea. Probably over 10 years. But nothing ever came of it...
I actively started to pursue it again more recently.. And this time, we figured what to do from mostly existent parts...
After figuring which legs to use, we initially decided to do at least Apollo and Starbuck (DUH!) and Boomer.... since those were the legs we had. But when buying the matching torsos (the gardener) we figured it was better to get extras - and a female as well, since there's also Sheba (and, after her, Jolly).
We then decided to add Adama, Tigh and Athena. Those dark blue parts are just the PERFECT shade. And then Cassie. We still plan on adding Serina and Boxey. These are not as specific.
Finding torsos (matching the legs) and arms including a woman and a black guy for each "set" did not make it easy at ALL.
Also, we gave up doing Cassie with skirts
Main problems (besides the parts!) were the guns/holsters. I had initially planned to use the space guns, with zipties to hold them, but besides that part revealing itself more complicated than I expected (there is less room than I thought under the darn vest!), the guns looked ridiculously HUGE on their sides. So, decided to go for simple modern pistols.
As to the belts, Master Cheng provided. Thank you! Makes them a LOT better. They look awesome! I suppose they could be... straighter... especially on the back - but that's not his fault
Bear in mind my "painting/writing" skills are kinda... well... low.
So, first the warriors:
Jolly, Starbuck, Apollo, Boomer, and Sheba
And the bridge guys, with Cassie:
Athena, Commander Adama, Colonel Tigh and Cassiopeia
More shots...
Starbuck and Apollo
Adama with his children: Athena, Adama, Apollo
Commander Adama and Colonel Tigh
Boomer, Starbuck and Jolly
Starbuck and Cassiopeia
The triangle: Cassiopeia, Starbuck and Athena
Sheba and Apollo
And that's it. For now. As mentioned, Serina and Boxey are missing.
