Let’s talk about Alan Rivard. His work on Battlestar Galactica and 3D Spaceships is second to none. Plus, anyone who has bought his work would have no complains. And that’s about it.
The Studio Scale TOS Viper
In a nutshell, the original 16″ TOS Vipers were created by Apogee Inc., using self-skinning polyurethane foam and resin which was very rough. So, when Moebius Models came up with the 1/32 scale model kit, it sold out quite fast. It was not until close to the 20-twenties that Mr. Rivard offered his 3D files for sale.
