LEGO fan and flickr.com user Chris Maddison a.k.a. cmaddison shared this impressive huge brick-built model of the iconic star fighter Viper Mark II from the popular Sci-fi TV series Battlestar Galactica. According to the description this model is 104 studs long and has a weight of 23 lbs. The shaping of the hull and the engines are really great and the color blocking was done nicely. Using a Nexo-power piece on the side is a small nice detail too.

We have recently blogged another classic space ship the Cylon Raider from Stefan Käsmayer. This time we blog maybe the most famous and recognizable space ship from Battlestar Galactica, the Viper. This beautifully shaped Viper Mk.II  from 2004 version of the series is built and shared by flickr.com member Angelo_S.. I especially like how the cockpit section is built with flexible hose pieces instead of transparent windscreen pieces. The nose section is also shaped very well and also textured with small details which makes this vehicle MOC even more interesting. The custom minifigure for the Battlestar Galactica character "Kara Thrace a.k.a Starbuck" also fits very nicely to the creation. For more photos check out the photo album.

This MOC resembles the original model so much so the fans of the classic Sci-Fi TV series Battlestar Galactica immediately notice this classic ship. LEGO Fan and flickr.com member Stefan Käsmayer recently shared this classic Cylon Raider in his photo-stream. I especially like how the light bluish gray flexible hose elements are used to create the cockpit section. The overall shaping and surface texturing are also very impressive.

The first update to the "Best Capital Ships" page is online. Thanks to the suggestion of flickr.com member and LEGO Fan El Barto! who is a MOC builder himself, we added Gary King's amazing capital space ships from the fameous TV series Battlestar Galactica to the page. Check out or compilation page for lots of great capital spaceships if you haven't yet. We have also added El Barto's Battlestar Galactica ship  to the list as well which also also incredible.
