    Battlestar Galactica Carrying Case playset

    Here's my latest, a Battlestar Galactica Carrying Case playset using Dida Displays vinyl panels. The interior is my original artwork painted in photoshop, the exterior is the famous and fabulous art from a copy of the 79 calendar. The front panel is the Milton Bradley game box lid. Adama's desk is a CTVT wrestling announcer desk and repro Trek chair painted grey. The desk comes with 2 TV monitors that I put together to approximate the monitors on the desk in the show. His is a big round console, but this is a nice solution. Looks commanding.

    Seemed like an illustrated Viper was the best I was going to get for these guys, the viper bay is 20 inches long, so it's impressive in scale, and I love the launch tube addition. This is the first time I've added figures into the background of a Dida display, but I wanted the bridge to feel as busy as it is on the show.

    As I said in the work in progress thread, I wanted the art inside to feel retro.

    Thanks for looking! Let me know if you'd like to commission one.

    That is fantastic! I love not only the artwork, but the design choices in what parts of the Galactica to represent. Really well done!

        I'm not a fan of the show, but that is a really beautiful carrying case,Scott.

                          That rocks! Another home run, Scott.

                          I particularly like that you included that map board with the elliptical paths... I had totally forgotten about that thing, but it all came right back to me as soon as I saw it. It really makes the playset.

                            I don't collect the BSG stuff, but that case makes me want too. Very nice!
