Timeslip Creations Battlestar Galactica Prison Barge resin model kit is comprised of 2 parts cast in off-white, odorless resin and includes waterslide decals. I purchased this directly from Timeslip Creations for $35 plus $4.95(US shipping). The model is just under 5" long and is purported to be in-scale with Monogram's (Revell/Monogram) Battlestar Galactica styrene model kit. As there's no real documentation to the comparative sizes of the vessels in the rag-tag fleet, I take it all with a grain of salt. I think it will look great in formation with Monogram's Galactica model. For more information and ordering, visit the Timeslip Creations website.

| The images that follow are of the model parts with a thin coat of lacquer primer airbrushed on to help better show off the details. |

| Close-up shot of the bow. Plenty or razor-sharp detail here! Note the crack in the hull just aft of the forward section. It looks like a flaw in the mold. A bit of putty applied with a toothpick should take care of that! |
 |
| Top mid-section detail. Lots of fine detail in there. I wouldn't spray-bomb the primer here. |
 |
| Aft dorsal detail. |
 |
| There's a wealth of detail molded into the engine area. |
 |
| Ventral detail. And plenty of it! |

Overall, this is a great little kit and will definitely enhance anyone's Rag-tag Fleet. There's tons of detail and with a good paint job: pre-shading, point washes, and dry-brushing, the prison barge will be a standout! Thanks for looking! SHL |
