For any BSG fans...

Hi all!

I'm getting back into modelling spaceships and the like as a hobby (after around a 20 year absence), and so I've been on the lookout for battlestars that I could 3D print and practice painting before starting on the Mobius Galactica kit at the end of the summer...and I found something amazing.

Basically, a fan in Japan made these incredibly detailed 3D models of non-canon battlestars. These things are between 1.8-2.6 million polygons each, and go as far as putting details in the inside of the landing bays AND the launch tubes. So, the original files (with what they look like when rendered properly) are:

http://www.foundation3d.com/index.php?c ... ileid=1579
http://www.foundation3d.com/index.php?c ... ileid=1446

You can download the .obj files for these things at (and see them badly rendered):

(A membership is required, but it's free)

If anybody wants to use them, the terms of use are here: http://www.foundation3d.com/forums/show ... tcount=223

If anybody wants to turn them into 3D printer models, there's probably a lot of work to be done (among other things, there appears to be some instancing of the main guns that might play hell with a 3D printer...on my side, my brother in law is helping me with prepping these things for printing and painting).

Enjoy (these things really are AMAZING).
