For my 37th birthday I went out and bought the new Moebius Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk II model kit at the Vault of Midnight.

I love both new and old BSG and I really dig the designs of the space ships featured on the show. So when I saw the Viper model I knew it would nag at the back of my mind until I bought one. I first saw the kit over at Starshipmodeler.com where they did a nice pre-release review of the model. After checking that out, I figured I could build that without to much trouble. So I went out and picked one up. Theresa was super supportive. For a birthday gift she offered to buy me the supplies I would need to get started. After a fun trip to Riders hobby shop I had the paints and brushes. All I needed was the free time to begin. Some how I've managed to find some. It didn't take long before I was on my way. Here are some of the results so far.
I've spent a lot of time on the cockpit area. It needs to be complete before I start gluing the main body together and doing the gloss white coats on that. So far it's been a very satisfying experience. I'm looking forward to finishing this kit and moving on to my stack of old kits that await! Up next after I finish the viper, I'll finish my old Millennium Falcon Cut away model that I started way back in 1998!
