I did I think all of the chromed Balter helmets. I think I did 5 of the 10 or so that were made.

My pal who also made the Imperious Leader mask and headpiece will take care of that.

I haven't talked to him for while so I don't know the exact status of this project... but I'll keep you posted on this for sure!

So I went out in search of wooden insignias I found many close but nothing exact. The store had hundreds and three that were nearly there but not the same. So I will resume sculpting.

Hey Skull the found item that was used in Adama medallion came from England. That throat piece reminds of that royal type look it has to it also.

Looks like you have all the details you need to carve up one of the chest plates. Hope it comes along as quickly, and as nice as the 1st piece did. Good luck.

Weel so far I have scowred U.S., British, Soviet and French military badges for the squashed raised octypus insignia. No luck so far

If I recall the found item for the Adama medallion wasn't military, but more of just a dress piece, and it was British if that helps.

Here is my finished, and mounted chest piece. The collar piece will be up next.

What I did was used a appliance grade high gloss black paint as the base coat. Then used Alclad 2 as the finish. The black worked out great to give me the highlights I was looking for in the crevasse of the art. I think this piece came out great. Thanks SkullBeast for your work.

Here we go. The entire shooting match mount, and ready to take control. Look out IL Series I am right behind you. I am one tough piece of chrome.
