Yeah I recall that auction, but I wasn't really into Buck, but I did watch it. I watched mostly to see old BSG items, and the hope to see more than Ann as a guest star. It was a Ok show, and at the time the only SciFi around. THX for sharing the scans.

My pleasure as usual. :wink:

I also do have the list of the realized prices for the 16th Hollywood Auction.

I'd gladly post it as well if you like...

I've also put together a comprehensive list of every Galactica-related item sold by Profiles so far, beginning from auction #16 to 36... any interest in seeing it, too?

That is a great listing! Sure, post the other please. Do you have a total of what all the BSG auctions earned? How much was BSG worth :)

No, but everything could be added up easily...

I read over all the "Buck Pages." TOO COOL!

It was interesting to realize there was a Commander Kane in BR... BSG had Commander Cain :)

Also I knew that BR used MANY BSG props over, but one of the BR props entered into BSG via G1980. The Saurian Wrist Transformer (page 78) started in BR - THEN - went to Battlestar.

Also, I am going to recreate a crisp (vector) digital image of the face for the Computer Council member (modeled after Dr. Theopolis). I've always wanted a Dr. T prop... heehee... I'm a gonna make me one! The auction scan has about everything to figure it out, the great photo and the measurement of a 9" diameter. Thanks Red Eye!

UPDATE: I worked on it this morning since the post above... here it is (shown below)! :)
On the left is my art, on the right the pic from the auction page I worked from.
After I hide the ring/eye/computer chips, I'll have to print the base art out on some clear plastic (got some somewhere for overhead projector print outs) and then find a 9" wide housing with a 5/8" edge and some lights... the only measurement I don't really have is the depth of it. But I might be able to find that online somewhere - or "reverse engineer" it from the show/photos of Dr. T. with Twiki.

I have the Buck Rogers DVDs... need to bust them out and get some good Dr. Theo caps. I don't even know if this Council Member is an exact copy of Dr. T.... just in a gold case. *oops* may have spent 3 hours on the wrong 'bot! :shock: :P

OOPS - while posting this I see I left a chip off the top deep redish bar. ACK - my Council Member will be an idiot!!! LOL ... no, I've already corrected my art file, but that's funny.

Years ago I saw on some other forum, (unknown) someone made a the same thing, even a pretty darn good working replica.

Nice and detailed work you've done there, John!

Would you like to see a better quality scan of the Dr. Theo-prop?

Oh yes, that would help to see more detail for making a physical copy, better color match, what type of chips they had on the face, the texture of the "eye" lens and such. THANKS RED EYE! Post or email me whatever works better. You are a great help!!!

I'll post it tomorrow...

By the way: Someone build a actual-sized Twiki... just look at this:


The same guy started a replica-version of Dr. Theopolis as well:
