I've thought of "neck guts" before. I think a wire harness from a car would be great. Just a tangled mess of wires with different clips and hose cover items. CYLON GUTS! :)

Can't wait to see your project continue. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Very interesting!

I found the plans for the helmet, neck, backpack and chest pieces. is there any more files I can track for the shoulderbells, arms, gaunts, belt pods and boot tops?

going to have to give up on this project for the moment. I cant get anyone to chrome it and my job is looking very shakey to say the least.

I could not bring myself to leave it as a abandoned project so I have finished it off on the cheap. :byyourcommand:

Looks great painted still... Very ominious and Cylon evil! :twisted:

I was watching all the alclad2 videos. Wow! I will be trying it too soon... Need to get an airbrush again. Goodness knows where to one I had in my youth is. Long gone I am sure.

@rustycylon, I just found an airbrush locally that was a good price (CHEAP). Are you using a single or dual action airbrush?

its a single action airbrush. I don't know much about airbrushes to be honest.
