Recently this fantastic Battlestar Galactica Visual Effects Crew Video by Dave Berry turned up and shows the making and filming of the original series models. It gives unique backstage insight on the crash landing of the shuttle and the gun from "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero", the landram (which was also used on "Saga of a Star World") and much, much more. It also introduces some of the people that worked and filmed these models that made television history back in 1978.
