Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome | Viper Mark lll Unboxing & Summary.
Today, we are looking at the first Viper Admiral, followed by Ensign Adama's Viper Mark III, which was the first one assigned.
All Battlestar Galactica Hero Collection models come with booklets that give images, history, and production insight into the series’ ship.
When I bought this model from Amazon, it was listed as having product dimensions of 13" x 9.5" x 5.25" inches, and the Viper is supposed to weigh 1.82 pounds, almost 2 pounds. But as I have learned, those measurements aren't entirely accurate. So, I measured.
Battlestar Galactica Eaglemoss Hero Collection | Cylon Raider Unboxing
I have gone with the Eaglemoss Hero Collection when collecting ships from the Battlestar Galactica franchise. Also, I purchase them on Amazon because I know I am guaranteed a refund or a replacement if the item arrives damaged or is not up to snuff in any way.
Almost all of the Amazon reviews of this model are positive, so I feel safe spending my hard-earned money on it.
Battlestar Galactica Viper Mark i
1977 was a big year for me. Two great films came out that year. Roger Moore starred in A Spy Who Loved Me, which featured a Lotus Esprit that had the ability to transform into a submarine. And, of course, Star Wars. The film featured the Death Star, TIE fighters, Y-wings, and the iconic X-wing fighter.
Now, most Star Wars aficionados know that John Dykstra was in charge of the special effects and worked to develop the computer motion-controlled cameras that could repeat the same movements multiple times so the camera could make multiple passes with various mattes attached, allowing to replace the blue screen in the background and add multiple effects onto the screen.
This revolutionized the film industry. However, 1977 came and went, and back on Earth, TV executives were looking for something that could capitalize on the science fiction frenzy that happened the year before, and they turned to Glen Larson for something that would bring back that excitement. That would be Battlestar Galactica.
