Raiders from The Croissant Nebula?

In a year that has seen Chinese spy balloons and strange ‘alien’ shapes being shot down over the Americas, I stumbled at breakfast upon the secret behind the design of the enemy Cylon raider ships in Battlestar Galactica …

It must be some weird kind of cloaking device?

Last year’s January and February 2022 painting spree of these weird Cylon clone Airfix Space Warriors.

Celebrating Battlestar Galactica (Reboot being available again on BBC Iplayer including a great opening episode / mini series:

“Being made a museum of the Cylon War 40 years earlier, Galactica is drawn into conflict again when a shock attack on the home worlds of the 12 Colonies signals the enemy has changed tactics … and appearance.”

An interesting take on the internet connectivity of modern life and of Dad’s Army raiding of Military Museums (Titsfield Thunderbolt style) for usable weapons.
