This is my scratchbuild Hyperion Class Heavy Cruiser from Babylon 5 universe. I have always been fascinated about the ships on the show, especially the Earth Alliance ships. So after the Omega Destroyer the next logical build was Hyperion, the old work horse of the Earth Force. And not just any Hyperion but the one and only "Prometheus", the (in)famous ship which started the Earth- Mimbar war.

As a reference I used screenshots from the "In the Beginning" movie and several pictures gathered from the web. The model is 60 cm long which make it to the same scale as my Omega model (1:1717). Model is mostly made of balsa wood. Other materials are wood, cardboard and brass tubes. In general there are used every usable pits and pieces which I could found. The model was built in three separate sections. The bow, the middle section and the engine section. Painting was done with brush and used colors were light grey, blue and two shades of darker grey. Decals were made with photoshop and printed to paper. This project took about 9 months to complete.
