Hopefully it will go to someone with the proper ability and $$$ to restore, display and care for it.
LOL you little devils really get around don't you? I have posted what has been replaced on the shuttle over at Hobby Talk. I understand that there has been a lot of speculation about everything the last few months, and perhaps I could have been more forthcoming with really good photos, but I never planned to even post to Hobby Talk. I was just annoyed to see in one post that I was dead. If I had to estimate the percentage of original to replaced it would be 40 new and 60 old. As for how much I want for it of course I want to make back my investment. I have not placed a price on it though. It amazes me how many people seem to know so little about it but post what they don't know anyway. Speculation is just that. Those who will bid on this and desire to see it face to face will be able to examine every square inch. And no I am not "Jane". Life is complicated sometimes and things do not always go the way you want them to. Have a great Holiday weekend everyone.
First post here?LOL you little devils really get around don't you?
The background Vipers from BSG, if I remember correctly, were just scrapped immediately because the fair assumption was that nobody would want to buy them and have to pay the huge freight costs; they even had trouble selling the foreground hero ships, which didn't initially meet reserves.
You rock. Congrats!:thumbsupWe welcome your commentary and support - as this is going to be hard.
Alec ("Loken") and I won the Galileo earlier today. We are very very happy to have the opportunity to acquire and renovate Galileo.
Let me assure you we have a straightforward goal: restore her and put her on display for the fans. Details to follow - when we have them. This will take a great deal of time and effort. But i'm confident we will be proud of the result.
I know the internet is an excellent source of opinions, support, and on occasion criticism. No doubt many will chime in with opinions and ideas. We welcome your commentary and support - as this is going to be hard.
