The Viper are mounted on optic fibers and rods plugging in launch tubes.</p>

<p>A right gray was difficult to find and to apply as I am not used to paint models of this size.<br />
<br />
First test with sky Grey XF-19 aero: rthe esult too white and not enough uniform</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9675.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9675_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>So after a new coat of black, I changed color (I do not remember which one). Although it looked nice on the pictures, it was this time too dark.</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9677.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9677_m.jpg" alt="" /></a>

<p>So I change technique, I get back to the tamiya gray primer, and I kept it as base coloer as I liked.</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9679.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9679_m.jpg" alt="" /></a>

<p>For the red stripes, I first applied white, then a standard red and finally dark red (it is not an X-Wing <img src="/themes/default/smilies/wink.png" alt=";)" class="smiley" /> )</p>

<p>Red center engine is a warm white LED behind a red transparent sheet (like on the real way). <br />
In this case I have to change the box to position the LED below (and more uniform indirect lighting), and out of sight. So I had to remove the "floor" I originally installed.</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9384.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9384_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Rather than a red LED, I use a warm white led. A red or clear transparent sheet painted clear red will adjust the right shade. <br />
<br />
For the main reactors, I take cold white LED, which tend toward blue. If it is not blue enough, so I'll add a blue transparent sheet behind the honeycomb.</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9385.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9385_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>

<p>I found that it does not yet enlightened enough because the honeycomb grid limits the light diffusion. So I igh LEDs along the backbone, again to avoid direct lighting.<br />
The box will remain removable, so I could still add even more later if necessary.</p>

<p>- In the central part, once the structure is in place, the remaining space is small and it is difficult to insert many wires, LEDs and fiber optics. <br />
I use warm white (as are all the windows on the real Galactica). The fiber is 0.75mm.</p>

<p>In the four small boxes, fiber is set with white glue.</p>
<p>The yellow LED are connected to fiber (1mm this time) in a white pipe, and secured with white.</p>

<p>- hangars circuit.</p>
<p>The electrical circuit is connected by a wire going through the forearm (via a tunnel that I did previously during the dry assembling)</p>
<p>- For the head, there is enough space to install everything relatively quietly. Yet it was not easy. <br />
Due to the work on the gap and light leaks, many fibers broke. Some will be replaced up to 3 times! <img src="/themes/default/smilies/sad.png" alt=":(" class="smiley" /></p>

<p>In fact, the Galactica is a cat ... the proof: he has a mustache</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9466.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9466_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>So to block the ligth leaks on the head, I use black paint (of course), the black tape around the LED pipes and strips of black cloth (with 2 glued in sausage).</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9529.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9529_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>- For the bridge, I was planning to run the fibers into the head, but the strength of the fibers (as a bundle) did not allow them to go through the small opening provided without force feedback on the part, that I was afraid to break !</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9464.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9464_m.jpg" alt="" /></a>

<p>So they are finally inserted in the side a tube where a LED is inserted.</p>

<p>To avoid the light leaks through, I glued a photoeched plate</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9471.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9471_m.jpg" alt="" /></a>

<p>The fibers are set with white glue. <br />
A mixture of plaster and black paint is tsmeared o block other light leaks.</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9494.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9494_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>And it works.</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9497.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9497_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The LED is stuck in a cap (superglue cap here)</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9511.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9511_m.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>To facilitate the work, I made the stand to support Galactica upside down.</p>

<p>To paint the hangar, I played with different shades of gray: standards, greenish, beige... <br />
The workshops are covered with white to better diffuse the ceiling red lights.</p>
<p><a href="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/IMG_9412.JPG"><img src="http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/galactica/galactica_37/.IMG_9412_m.jpg" alt="" /></a>

<p>As my hangars can not go the full length because of the side supports (metal bar), I extend it with a decal. <br />
For this, I slightly modified the scans of the original design (removing the large Vipers, and color adjustment)</p>

<br />
The Viper in this scale is 4.5 mm long.<br />
I'm going with T-channel as a base. I tested 2 and I go on the widest. <br />
After few cuts, and add of two small rods, it looks like a viper.</p>

<p>For the master of the shuttle, I used a section of a PVC strip. <br />
I mark the corners following a blueprint, and cut. <br />

And I get my first casts.</p>
