  • In this short video the actor who played Admiral William Adama, Edward James Olmos, looks over the brilliant reproduction of the show's viper. This is the Adama edition limited to only 500 and personally signed by the Admiral himself!
    QMX Artesian Viper replica is a collectors dream and replicates to the exact specifications the now legendary shows Viper Mark ll and right down to every nuts and bolt.
    It features a working miniature Dradis screen with the actual footage from the shows digital files, and three LED lit pulsating thrusters and generated white sound to go along with this awesome effect!
    If interested in learning more about this beautiful replica that is hand made right here in the United States and takes over 50 man hours to assemble go to this web site:

    I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Olmos at a Heroes and Villains convention in Nashville last year. It was an awesome experience. He was very kind, approachable and personable and seemed genuinely interested in everyone that came to speak with him. I've always liked him as an actor, but after meeting him personally and speaking with him, I have even greater respect for the man. What a great guy!

      I’ve made scale models for 30 odd years as a hobby... i’ve watched countless videos of builds, seen god knows how many photos, but that dradis console and the engine lights pretty much make that the best scale model i’ve ever seen.

    It's not often this happens to me, but whenever i see the scene Adama alone at the flight deck, leaving the Galactica for the very last time... man i was fighting with tears.
    The only other occasion this happens is at the end of Peter Jacksons "Return of the King".

      - Did you ever stole money from a cash drawer ?
      - Enough of this crap, I'd rather end my career or what's left of it on a half broken ship than having someone sitting here question my word, no matter how fat the paycheck is.
      And what a beautiful ending it was for his career. Such an heartful show.

    I love the entire show all 4 seasons and Im so glad they did it right. From start to finish. I have a dvd collectors box set with a Cylon and I will tell you it was a awesome journey they have done. Loved it my friends and I salute you Admiral Adama 👍👍👍👍👍

    Got to say, such an OG fan, wasn't sure if I'd like the new one.
    Loren Green was one of my favorite actors, love James but wasn't sure if anyone could play the part.
    He knocked it out of the park, did such an amazing job.

    Absolutely stunning reproduction - I wish Id known about these when they came out - Id have sold one of my kidneys to one I kid you not! EJO is one of the kingpins that made BSG so real, immersive and its a joy to watch him perform.

    You know if this was some other actor I would have said he got paid (which he probably did anyway) and told to say some things and at least try to sound enthusiastic. But this isn't just any actor, this is the guy who invented a language for Blade Runner even though there are exactly two lines from it in the actual movie.

    Looks like Chief Tyrol just finished detailing that Viper for the Admiral.
    Starbuck's Viper looks like she just landed after a pitched battle with a Cylon Basestar and shot down 25 Cylon Raiders.

    Oh, great ! I watched BSG and and is one of the best series I've ever seen in my life, overcoming many Star Wars episodes and some Star Wars films, covering many topics of AI, life in society, sacrifice, war, famine, Greek mythology, religion, philosophy, etc ... William Adama was one of the most significant characters of Gallactica and remains current, so say you All!!!

    what would make these Viper models cooler than they already are is if they come autographed by the actors who's characters flew those vipers in the series...if ya know there aren't already ones like that

    The same artist (Ralph McQuarrie) designed both. Pretty much everything that was cool about Star Wars (in a visual sense) is a direct result of his influence.

    @ZainNL you have any idea what goes into building this?
    You may not be able to afford one, which is one thing, but don't make seemingly derogatory comments based on your lack of knowledge on the quality and workmanship. I have seen this thing and it is worth every single penny of the price. I actually thought it would be $200 more!

    I always wondered how BSG ships, fleet, vipers, Galactica, etc. slowed down in space with zero reverse thrusters. Yeah, sometimes they 'spun' around to shoot backwards, like real Newtonian physics, but you can't flip Galactica.
    What gives, Admiral?

  • @snarfer5612

    Do not give one to Adama. When he gets upset over the futility of this frakking war, he'll smash it up, much to the prop master's chagrin.
