Hopefully my alterations to the undersuit will be done soon and I can post some new pics.

Cheers to all cylon brethren.

Understood believe me if your buying props for resale stop now. You asked about scratches and I gave you an opinion. Enjoy your suit. GC1

Actually I'm taking some precautions for Halloween. With some added velcro straps and padding I've been able to keep almost all the chrome seperate from the others to prevent them from chafing. I even stuck a little padding to the inside top of the helmet to raise it clear of the backpack. I'm also going with several friends who will watch my back in a crowd. Hopefully this will keep any possible scratches to a minimum. For Sunday night I'll wear the suit normal style since I'll just be in my front yard giving candy to the neighbourhood kids. The undersuit fits much better after alterations. When the holiday is over I'll post before and after pictures and let you know how it goes.

I also bought this great zombie mask and gloves from CFX masks for the annual zombie walk. I've been considering combining the two and go as a zombie cylon.

I also read on ain't it cool news that scy-fy is going to make another Battlestar movie called Blood and Chrome that will be about the first cylon war. Maybe we'll get to see our suits in action again?

That would be awesome possum.

Cheers.

I'm sure Blood and Chrome will have all CGI "classic"Cylons - like in Caprica and Razor, the final few shows of nuBSG. No guys in suits anymore for BSG

Perhaps, but nobody shoots out sparks and falls clumsily to the ground as well as we do.

Quoted for truth, my brother in circuitry. Besides, It will look more screen used.
