A phone camera is not the best to catch the details, but anyway here you can get an idea. The plate with the pilot's name is 4 mm long (1/6 of a inch).

Panels and bases painted with Sharpie fine point paint pens and black wash. Panel color scheme inspired by the cards/rulebook and originally done by Mike Kelley. Panels also have a clear matte protective coat sprayed on (slider grooves covered first).

Overview

Battlestar Galactica: Starship Battles is a starship combat miniature game created by the same designers as Wings of Glory and Sails of Glory. The game includes ready-to-play, painted and assembled miniatures, with a special base to support its unique game mechanisms.

In the game, players take control of one or more Colonial and Cylon ships and face each other in furious dogfights and many other different kinds of missions. The game features innovative mechanisms allowing players to simulate space combat using simple and intuitive rules to imitate the unique dynamics of the battles in the TV show.

Battlestar Galactica: Starship Battles includes both "Classical and "Reimagined" settings as the publisher's license with Universal Brand Development includes both the classic series, created by Glen A. Larson in the late 1970s, and the re-imagined series developed by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, which aired until 2010.
