In honor of the return of Battlestar Galactica, I dug up this brilliant example of brick work on Brickshelf. This LEGO model of a Colonial Viper Mark VII was built by “Captain-Nakota” (Scott). He did it from scratch, because there are no LEGO kits for the BSG vehicles. Please click on the thumbnail, so you can appreciate the details in the larger photo.
Besides the fabulous work on the Viper itself, I love the details of the scene around the ship. Look closely at the little figures. You can see Apollo climbing into his cockpit, and Chief, in his orange jumpsuit, telling him something important about his Viper. Starbuck (short blonde hair) is waiting on deck in her black flight suit, and you can also see Admiral Adama and Colonel Tigh standing by. You might even recognize Cally‘s ponytail in the background.
The preparation and effort that went into building this scene mark Scott as a true BSG Geek in my book, and I hope he appreciates that for the high compliment it’s meant to be. To see more of his BSG models, including a Cylon Raider, visit his Brickshelf gallery.
Those are just flat out awesome.

I loved playing with Legos as a kid – they did a very good job on that!

That is amazing stuff! Legos were one of my favorite toys. And BSG is absolutely the best show on TV right now. That makes Scott a genius in my book.

ahh lego, the most constructive toys ever made by man…if kids want some toys and u just cant entertain them by keep buying all kinds of toys…make them build replica of the ones they want in legos…even train them in creativity process
So say we all – quote from BSG

just out of curiousity, would anyone be interested in buying a really giant sized battlestar galactica model made out of lego? like 1 metre in size or more at least.
I was thinking of buying the parts from lego and building it in my spare time (i am big fan of BSG) but I won’t bother unless i thought someone would buy it since i dont really have room in my 1 room appartment for a giant lego battlestar model
Guess the bald figure next to Adama is Colonel Tigh and the blonde is Starbuck?
Can’t really identify anyone else from the cast.
