12-02-2022: In the past, I always got lots of pictures from people that built one of my papercrafts, and I would always ask them if they would like me to show them in the “hall of fame” on my papercraft website.
Nowadays, almost everybody has a Twitter or Facebook or other social media account and they can just show the papercrafts they put together on there! :o)
So it’s been a while, but this week, I got an email from Blake7 again. As you can see below he remade my Battlestar Galactica Viper MkII into lots of different versions in the past already, but one thing he didn’t do yet: merge it with the insanely detailed version of papercraft creator Uhu02!
Blake7 used the cockpit, landing gear and cannons from Uhu02’s Colonial Viper to update my version. You can see he had to made some changes to the strengthening ribs to fit the cockpit:

…and the result looks great:
picture 4 | picture 5 | picture 6 !
And here are some more pictures of Blake7’s updated Viper:
picture 7 | picture 8 | picture 9 | picture 10 | picture 11
And if you want to check out Uhu02’s version (trust me, you’ll want to!) just go to his website here to see it and all his other very detailed sciencefiction and fantasy papercrafts:

Thank you Blake7 for sharing your pictures and this cool idea!
31-07-2016: The “Red Baron” was a German fighter pilot in World War I, who was famous because he painted his airplane bright red instead of the usual camouflage pattern.
…and of course because he was a very good fighter pilot, who won almost all his aerial combats!
Although that’s not so impressive of course, when you think allof his enemies were flying in biplanes, and was apparantly piloting a futuristic Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II: picture ;o)
The original idea for the Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II‘s Red Baron paint scheme was by enc86, and blake7 and Revell Fan did a great job translating it to the papercraft templates, don’t you think?
What’s that? You want to know where you can get the parts to build one yourself? On the original post of course, where you can also find blake7’s other repaints:
Have fun building!
25-06-2016: In “The Dukes of Hazzard”, there would always be a part where “them Duke boys” would escape sherriff rosco by jumping the General Lee over a ramp, high into the air!
But it looks like they took their stunt a little bit too far, and ended up in space… picture
As always, blake7 shared his repaint so you can build a “Dukes of Hazzard” General Lee version of the Battlestar Galactica Viper as well: link
16-05-2015: If you thought blake7 only made repaints, think again!
Together with Revell-Fan, he worked out how big he should make my papercraft Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II for it to be in 1:24 scale – and then he did: picture
The picture shows the bigger version next to the regular sized US Navy version. If you want to make a big version like blake7, you can get the parts he made from my original Viper Mk.II post here: link
Or, you can have a look at blake7’s resizing tutorial on the Papermodelers.com forum (note: you need to become a free member to be able to download files there!) so you can learn how to do the same with other paper models you like! ;o)
04-05-2015: During World War II, it was not always easy to see for troops on the ground whether that bomber airplane coming towards them was a friend or an enemy…
So to try and prevent a lot “friendly fire” accidents during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, Allied airplanes got three white and two black bands painted on their wings and fuselage.
Of course a space fighter like Battlestar Galactica’s Viper Mk.II doesn’t really need such visual identifiers, but they do look good, don’t they: picture ;o)
Recoloured parts available from my original Viper Mk.II post here: link
16-03-2015: The third finished Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II repaint from blake7, a US Navy VFA-103 “Jolly Rogers” squadron version, complete with skull and crossbones emblem: picture ;o)
As before, you can get the parts to build this version from my original post here: link
22-01-2015: After the Caprica Police version, blake7 sent me a NASA repaint of my papercraft Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II too: picture
If you like this repaint, you can get the parts from the original Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II post again: link
11-01-2015 update: blake7 sent me an updated version of his Battlestar Galactica Police Viper Mk.II, with higher resolution textures: picture
Here are some comparison pictures between the two versions:
picture 1 | picture 2 | picture 3
You can get this updated version from the original Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II post again: link
Have fun building!
11-11-2014: Some time ago, blake7 asked me if he could a repaint of my papercraft Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II, and here it is: picture ! ;o)
It’s based on a drawing made by BJ-023 on DeviantArt (link) and best of all, blake7 even shared the parts he used so you can build this version yourself too! ;o)
You can either get blake7’s repainted parts from the original Viper Mk.II post on my papercraft webpage here, or on the Papermodels.com or Zealot forums if you’re a member there.
Thank you for repainting a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
