This new book goes behind the scenes on the award-winning TV series
Battlestar Galactica to discover the concepts behind the designs
of dozens of spaceships!
Battlestar Galactica debuted on TV in 1978 and acquired a
phenomenal following, breaking new ground for TV drama and winning
several awards. It returned to TV screens in 2003 in a critically
acclaimed reimagined series, with Time Magazine naming it one of the 100
Best TV Shows of All Time.
This behind-the-scenes guide looks at the creation of the ships in both
the original and the reimagined series, including vessels of the ragtag
fleet and those of the Cylon enemy. Featuring artwork from the
groundbreaking first series and the 2004 reimagined series, this volume
explores the art of ship creation from the first sketches to the
finished designs of the modelmakers.
Covering 18 key ships from the two shows, including the Galactica
itself, the Vipers and the Cylon Raiders, the pages are
packed with original concept art from designers Eric Chu, Andrew Probert
and legendary artist Ralph McQuarrie.
