Nice pic Rich, but I would not have though the colonise Movers was atmophric capable.

It does say "We move anywhere" on the side, plus they were seen taking off from the planets surface in exedus.

looks great... with these rusty vats it looks like they've been quite desperate

nice to see this size comparison between a viper and the colonial movers

Really nice work Rich. Those containers look real!

I think the size comparision is a little off - I mean I don't know what the correct size is for the Col Movers ship, but just thinking of the episode where they attacked the cylon tylium mine (was it season 1 'hand of god'?) a bunch of vipers were stored inside one of those conatiners, and lauched after the decoy had been successful, point being that these vipers were stored within the container, lengthwise across the container, suggesting that the containers should be a tad wider.

Are my eyes deceiving me? those are original series vipers, no?

She's a good one.

Edit: Ahh stike that, helps to read the thread title properly (original series)

I'll agree that the size is off..I actually think the viper's are too small. The original movers containers were based on real world intermodel containers and they are usually smaller then a standard 48" or 53" ft semi-trailer in length but the same width.

And I also think it has been establised in canon in both TOS and the new BSG that the colonial posses some kind of anti-grav tech. We know the cylons had it in TOS as well when the basestar hovered over the Tylium planet.

But beyond all that I really like this image and scene...Very cool!
