Welcome to the Rag Tag Fleet!

This website has been designed to showcase yet another bizarre hobby I enjoy - making spaceships from Battlestar Galactica. For those that do not watch the show, the Rag Tag Fleet are a convoy of spaceships, escaping the destruction of their homeworlds. They are mostly a civilian fleet under the protection of a large military ship known as a Battlestar. There are ships of all sizes and uses, and the fleet is large enough to introduce a new ship to the viewer at any time without it seeming strange. This makes a very attractive proposition for the modeler - you can create anything you want, and pretend it is buried in the fleet and "just hasn't been seen on tv yet". The challenge of course is to make it "fit" in the BSG universe. There are no Warp Nacelles in the Rag Tag Fleet.

I intend these ships to inhabit the "new" BSG series, but I am (in a fit of having my cake and eating it too) including the original series designs as I feel like it, because they have for the most part been ported over to the new series, and because I absolutely love the designs. So if you see something from TOS Galactica, just assume it's in the Ron D Moore show. My models are both theoretical and canon - it will be pretty clear if I'm making something up or if I'm recreating a pre-existing model. Some come from the land of CGI, and some had their origins as physical models in the 1970s. Again, each page will let you know the model's provenance. I also hope to showcase the work of friends here, so if you have made a Rag Tag Ship, please contact me!
