My lego version of a Viper Mark II from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. I am extremely proud of this little guy, and have long decided that he's not going to come apart except for physical changes and improvements to the design. She's got most of the details from the "real" one, including a tiny keyboard set under the cockpit's joystick (sorry, my camera can't take a good enough picture) and a properly-colored pilot's seat.
A little backstory for this guy. I set out wanting to make a minifigure scale Mark II, properly sized and everything, so I figured out approximately how a brick and a stud translates to feet in lego scale (one brick is approximately 1.4 feet feet tall and one stud is approximately 1.15 feet long), and then translated that into the officially available dimensions for the CGI model, for about 24 studs long, 6.3 bricks high, and 13.5 studs wide. Unfortunately, I simply couldn't get everything I wanted into the design at that scale, so this is a bit larger than a properly scaled Mark II would be. Ah well. Maybe at some point I'll figure out how to get this smaller and have the right details.
And yes, I am aware how dirty some of the bricks are: I basically exhausted my supply of curved and properly angled bricks for this, and had to use a bunch of pieces I've had since I was about eight.

Battlestar Galactica belongs to… I have no real idea. I guess Glen Larson?
