Colonial Vipers for X-Wing Miniatures Game

I'm a big fan of Battlestar Galactica but couldn't find any miniatures that were scaled to fit the X-Wing game, so I decided to make my own.

First, I bought this keychain















made a mold for resin casting
















and cast some miniatures.















Next, I painted them up. I intentionally made them a little rough and battered-looking. (And my detail work leaves much to be desired.)















I drilled a small hole in the bottom of each and used Sculpey to get them just the right size.















And here are a couple of the finished Vipers. They aren't perfect, either in terms of painting or casting, but they look pretty good and are a good scale for the X-Wing game!

  1. I think they look good. Did they make a Cylon Raider keychain too? Though, If you're a member of TMP, I wouldn't post anything about this as it would get you banned/doghawsed pretty quickly.

    1. Didn't see any Cylons. Not a member of TMP but certainly wouldn't want to offend. Figured it would be okay to make copies since it's for my own use but maybe not.
