The One and only true Celestra!

There are many Celestra-lookalike models circulating on the internet.
None of them closely resembles the ship shown in the BSG TOS episode 'Take the Celestra"

Allways bothered me.

Now I finally made one myself

I made this model completely with Tinkercad

Using pics fom the internet and screenshots taken from the actual episode I made this model as accurate as possible in form, dimensions and details.
Because 1978 TV quality was very "low definition" and the ship is never shown in real closeups its impossible to be 100% correct.

Also made to model to include lights in the landing bay and the engines
You can print the model with or without lights.

I am going to make some custom stands for it and hide the wires in the stands and give the entire model a paintjob so it looks exactly like the Original.

Notes:

I split the ship in sections for easy printing.
However some of the details get lost if you print to small.

With mine some pipes and tubes didn't print or broke of while printing

Best for this model is to print BIG.

Included the MID3 section in total or seperated parts so you can use print method whch is best for your printer.
Also seperated the tower and the nameplates.
