Cylon Raider Papercraft

It’s about time for me to continue re-watching Battlestar Galactica, but with so many other TV series to finish, I have not found the time to squeeze it in. How many times have you watched what might very well be the best sci-fi TV series?

If you are looking for something to whet your Battlestar Galactica appetite without investing too much time, take a look at this Cylon Raider papercraft project by the guy from That’s PS! This site is all about nerdcrafting (and more), and it is perfect if you like to create things with your hands (not just in your head).

Now there are so many iconic things and scenes from the TV series, but I think that we can all agree that Scar can be thanked for putting the Cylon Raiders at the top of the list. And, I don’t know about you, but Starbucks finding that Raider, reviving it, and flying it home was one of the best scenes in the series.

Now you can have your own Cylon Raider, albeit made out of paper.

Don’t be fooled, though. Just because it is made out of paper does not mean it doesn’t kick butt. The Cylon Raider papercraft is one mean feat, and I have a feeling that it will be one of your most prized possessions if you ever get around to making it.

Here’s a video to get you even more interested.

And if you really want to give it a try, you can visit the entry at That’s PS!, where you can find detailed information about the parts and the steps to make it.

Weekend project?
