Firstly let me say you have done a really awesome job on all these and the nozzle looks amazing in mirror card. Secondly, let me say that the nozzle doesn't have to be done in mirror card, which as you showed is a challenge-and-a-half, in fact I did mine in just 200gsm card - pretty much like...

Very smart!

Hi Revell fan Found a paper version of the pistol http://rocketmantan.deviantart.com/art/BSG-Cylon-Pistol-Paper-Model-398320900 And there may be others. As for the Cylon Rifle - Sounds like your the man for the job - Not only does it sound like you know the best of what's available but also...

The right one it is then :)

Hi Red, and any other interested parties - quick question. I'm pretty much 99-100% happy with the parts I've done, except for the shoulder.... I had a go at building it, and found that mine wasn't too fond of keeping it's shape so I decided to try a different design based on a spiral. A...

Hi Red - let me know how you get on. My last build of the right gauntlet was a few mm short on the right printed side of part RG5, nothing major, but link to new version sent to your email :) Cheers!

Again - nicely done!! There's only one way I've found to do it and you've done it, as painful as it is. I've been keeping my eyes open for a decent substitute, but nothing is quite right, and as you and I have have shown it can be done with time and patience, and I'm sure if accuracy wasn't...

Again - very nicely done, plus I'm loving the t-shirt :D

Nice...I would also add that mirror card's reflective surface is slightly more water resistant than most, so if you like ResinW or other 'wet' adhesives, and are slightly clumsy like myself, you will have a little time to wipe of any glue seepage with a damp cloth. A quick buff with a...

Very nicely done....

I know when I looked into chroming some plastic some time ago everything hinged on the reflective quality of the surface e.g. in the case of plastic/bondo and similar, various coats of a gloss paint needed to be applied and polished till the surface looked like glass. This required a number of...

You'll have to take a few pics the next time you polish it up - shame about work, can't think there will be many other Cylon suits out there made of aluminium...

Very nicely done! Also - how the heck do you work with superglue?! I need at least 30 seconds fiddling time before I get the tabs in the right position..... You can see what I mean about mirror card - even compared to aluminium it's reflective quality rock... Have you ever thought about...

Agree with Zathros - the rounding on that buckle has hard-graft written all over it. I have to say that I have wanted to do strengthened product for a while, but Epoxy and Epoxy+Baby powder is as dangerous and smelly as I want to get :D In fact my first project was to be a Starwars ANH stunt...

Looking good Red! I realise time is precious, so once you are happy that the kit makes sense I will build the piece in mirror card anyways as I will need to take pictures for my site. The belt buckle is already printed and ready for a build this weekend, and now the left gauntlet is to follow.....

Great build pics there Red Thanks again for doing the Beta's - I fully appreciate free time is a precious commodity. And you are right, the Cylon buckles were designed to fit over a battery belt :-...

Better late than never :D http://bazookajo.me.uk/PaperModels/Ford%20Prefect/Ford%20Prefect.htm Merry Christmas all H2G2 fans!

Cheers Zathros - glad you like the models :) I'm the same - so many guys on here doing some amazing stuff and contributing to the craft - it's truly inspiring...

Just a quick note to say I finalised the parts for Ford last week, so while the 3D parts map is still to be done - I should be able to put the part references on next week without fail if you're in a hurry ;)

No worries- if it's any consolation I was working on Arthur's head at the same time ;)
