Quantum Mechanix is pleased to present our first Artisan ship replica - a screen-accurate, scale re-creation of the Cylon Raider interceptor. Each Battlestar Galactica Artisan Raider will be hand-made by the special-effects professionals at The FX Company. Thanks to our partnership with The FX Co., we are able to deliver this elite ship model, complete with seven-layer prismatic paint and lighting effects, in an edition of 500 replicas.
By special arrangement with the BSG production company, each Artisan Raider will come with a numbered brass and lucite plaque signed by one of the cast members or executive producers of Battlestar Galactica including:
Jamie Bamber (Apollo)
James Callis (Baltar)
David Eick (Executive Producer)
Tricia Helfer (Number 6)
Michael Hogan (Colonel Tigh)
Mary McDonnell (President Roslin)
Ron Moore (Executive Producer)
Edward James Olmos (Adama)
Grace Park (Boomer/Athena)
Michael Rymer (Director/Producer)
Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck)
Rather than charge extra for these signatures, we will be randomly inserting them into each Raider box. You will be guaranteed to get one of the signatures above, you just won't know which one until you get your Raider (for those who order more than one Raider, we will ensure each comes with a different signature).
The Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raider measures 15" x 9.5" x 3" with a total display height of approximately 7", including the painted, textured asteroid diorama base. Paint details on the Raider include prismatic iridescents and multple, textured metallics – which change hue depending on how light hits the replica – and weathering done in several layers. Lighting effects include the scanning/sweeping red LED "eye" and randomly flaring white engine lights. The Raider's lighting system runs off a 12-volt transformer.
The Cylon Raider Artisan Replica is 100 percent handmade in the United States.
The raider design has been authenticated by Eric Chu, creator of the BSG Raider concept, and includes a Certificate to that effect. The ship comes packaged in a high-density polyethylene case, surrounded inside by multiple layers of form-cut soft foam to ensure it arrives safely.
Celebrate one of the greatest science-fiction TV shows of all time with this exquisite example of the special effects artist's craft.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the Cylon Raider Artisan Replica being a hand-built, made-to-order precision replica, a 50% non refundable deposit is due at the time of ordering, the balance to be paid when the product ships. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery from the date of order.
