One of the favorite tools of Science Fiction Model builders are accurate blueprints.  In the past, it was virtually impossible to find and purchase any blueprints of science fiction ships.  Fortunately, that all changed with the internet and online commerce.   You can find virtually any blueprint online, for any subject from the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, to the newest space ships on TV.

Below is a generic search set up to find all Battlestar Galactica blueprints available on Ebay.Available are Galactica blueprints, Viper MK-II blueprints, Viper MK-VII blueprints, Raptor blueprints, and more.

The Enterprise E was probably the most popular Star Trek model ever. Of course, it was also the most difficult to find for a reasonable price.

Round 2 Models has re-released a 1:1400 scale Enterprise E for only $ 24.95.    In June 2010, Round 2 Models will be releasing a 1:2500 scale version of the Enterprise E for only $12.99.  See links at bottom for pre-ordering the 1:2500 Enterprise E.

In 1996, the Enterprise-E made its first appearance in the film, Star Trek: First Contact, The “E” shared many of the classic design elements of previous starships: twin nacelles, a saucer-like main section and torpedo-like engineering hull with deflector dish. This new version, however, featured a sleeker, more needle-like appearance, indicative of its advanced warp capabilities and enhanced weaponry. This detailed glue kit is 19-inches long (1:1400 scale) when assembled and includes decals and a display stand. 1:1400 scale. Skill level 2 model kit requires glue assembly and paint.

Battlestar Galactica size comparison charts. The ships range from the Battlestar Pegasus down to the Viper and Raptor.  I can identify a handful of the ships: Battlestar Pegasus, Cylon Base Star, Battlestar Galactica, Colonial One, Mark VII Viper, Raptor, Mark II Viper, Cylon Raider. Note that the third picture is an enlargement of the smallest ships from the sec0nd picture.  I found these online last week, but I wasn’t able to find who to credit them to, so if anyone recognizes these charts or knows who created them, send me an email.
