CLASSIC IMAGE: AN ALTERNATE FLEET!

 


Not something seen in the original Saga of a Star World, but a fun composite image of some kind of Colonial Fleet, and with two mighty Battlestar protectors no less, presumably put together by the Apogee team, and used for publicity and merchandisers (namely for puzzles) of 1978.

CLASSIC IMAGE: EXPLORING THE GEMINI FREIGHTER!


When it came to designing spaceships for the Rag-Tag Fleet, the classic series couldn't have had a better model designer/artist than Joe Johnston, who gave us a truly intriguing and diverse array of used craft, like the impressive 'Gemini Freighter' model that was eventually sold off to the highest bidder during a special film/TV model prop auction from a few years back...

CLASSIC IMAGE: A KILLER OF HUMANS!

 


As the Cylons reveal themselves and attack the Colonial Warriors, one of their kind locks on and blaster fires in this great posed publicity shot. With the Galactica merchandising of 1978/79, this image was particularly well used as part of a set of 4 UK-released puzzles from Waddingtons. Taken specially during rehearsals on Saga from a Star World, the image would have the unique Cylon blaster pulse and its distinctive red eye added/rotoscoped on, likely by an Apogee technician during the pilot/film's post production stage.
