Are there Colonial Vipers forthe retro BSG figures?

[Mike77]

I just started to collect the retro Battlestat Galactica figures and absolutely love them . Does anyone know if there is a Colonial viper model that would fit these figures? I wanted to display Starbuck in one. I'm not concerned with scale, I just want the figure to fit inside.

Thanks!

the original ships from the 70's?
the figures that fit in the ships were 1 1/2" tall.
tiny guys.
but the ships were coolest of cool.

I had been working on building a custom Viper, for these. . .

That pic is my first attempt, I think I learned enough working on to make my next attempt look much better.

That looks amazing! How did you make it? Thanks!

Here's some plans that could easily be re-scaled.

Check your local craft store and you will find large styrofoam cones, that makes up the main body. Foam core board for the wings, and you could use paper towel tubes for the engines, but I used some pirate telescopes from the party supply store. My original plan after everything was put together was to print sticker sheets with all the details and wrap those around the main body and wings. I want to revisit this project soon and use a bigger size cone for the body.

Thanks for the directions. Did you hollow out the cone so the figure can fit inside the ship?

I did hollow the cone out, but the next size up will definitely work better.
