I have been a big fan of Battlestar Galactica since way back in the day when Starbuck was a dude. Not long ago we talked about the BSG Viper MK II from the new series and if you had to have it, just get out your wallet again. You can now get a sweet model of the classic ship from the original series that gave the show its name.
It’s made by the same company, Eaglemoss, that produces the Viper I mentioned. The original Battlestar Galactica spaceship comes on its own stand, and includes Collector Magazine #7.
The Battlestar sells for $59.99 and will look fantastic sitting on your shelf. Now we need the classic Cylon ship to complete the collection. It will ship in May but can be pre-ordered at Entertainment Earth.
As a kid, I loved the original Battlestar Galactica, and had some of the toys that went with the show. I particularly remember the Viper spaceship, and I would routinely play with the triangular fighter during commercial breaks. If you feel more nostalgic about the 21st century Battlestar, check out this collectible toy.
This is Apollo’s Viper MK II the newer BSG. Toymaker Eaglemoss says that it worked closely with members of the modern Galactica visual effects team to ensure the model was as accurate as possible. The 10.6″ long model also comes with Collector Magazine #6 that details the ships in the series.
The Viper Mk II will set you back $59.99 and can be pre-ordered now for delivery in March 2019. I miss this show and need to find it to stream.

One of the things you learn in the world of geekdom is that any time you slap some horizontally-chasing red LEDs into something, it’s instantlytransformed into Cylontechnology. But I always thought if you did it to the front of a vehicle, it’s a reference to Knight Rider’s K.I.T.T. Well, either way, this hack is pretty cool.
DIYer Chris Knight (no not Peter Brady) got his hands on a 25 “pixel” LED light strip and decided he needed a place to install it. What better place but the front grill of his silver Jeep Wrangler?
They’re controlled by Cool Neon’s new Total Control Lighting Developer’s Shield Box which is a fancy name for an all-in-one programmable Seeduino box. It took a whole bunch of drilling to get the lights installed in the grill, but it looks pretty slick now that it’s complete. Check it out in action in the video clip below:
As a bonus, the LEDs he used can actually change colors, so here’s his Jeep putting on a little light show:
Whether you think it looks like a Cylon or K.I.T.T., you owe it to yourself to check out the full build details over on Instructables. Now about that hood, Chris…
Defend the planet…. from water mark stains from your drinks. Battlestar Galactica Cylon Coasters are tin topped with a cork backing. Sure Cylon’s in “real” life are trying to destroy all humans but the best way to stop them is clearly by placing a heavy glass or bottle on top of their creepy cybernetic warrior red eyed faces. Now grab a drink and let’s go search for a mythical place I’ve only read about called “Earth”.
Even if imaginary holidays on shows like Futurama, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5 have funny made up names, their all based on real-life holidays like Christmas, Independence day, Thanksgiving ... Continue Reading on Walyou
When you meet your girlfriend at a Battlestar Galactica party, you better have something special lined up for an engagement ring when you eventually propose to her. I mean, really lay some cubits out and show her how special she is. That’s what happened with Disturbedrobot, so he decided to propose with a ring that looks like a Cylon.
He took the gold and diamonds from his grandmother’s ring and had his sketches modeled in Maya. After that, it was reforged by jewelry craftsperson Craig Elliott into this lovely ring. His fiancé is a lucky lady and now this guy has made it tougher for the rest of us men by raising the geek bar so high.
I love vintage Battlestar Galactica as much as I love the more recent version. And I do have a soft spot for old-school Cylons, so I find it awesome that Eugene Haggerty from Clearwater, Florida is building a half-scale, drivable replica of the original Cylon Raider.
He started construction in October of last year and the goal is to have it ready by Galacticon 3 this May in Houston, Texas. Eugene estimates that he has about 150 hours of build time to go on this project. He has already spent $10,000(USD) on the project and he thinks that the total cost will exceed $20,000. After Galacticon, he may even take it to Dragon*Con 2013 and other conventions, too.
Man, I would love to see this Cylon Raider driving down the street. If you want to donate to the project, just click here for more details. This thing should look amazing when Eugene is finished.
