Here are photos that are when the helmets were being built, and a few failed concept designs that just didn't have or were to scary. Yeah scary.

A few more

Great stuff GoldCylon!
I like the design on the back of the helmet on the first pic... I think it's neat - would have been okay to see that on the final ones.

That helmet is laser fire burn.

Thanks!

Very cool stuff my friend.

You can see the Old Egypt design trend in the crests - cool stuff indeed. I like how they worked that into the show, give a connection to Earth's culture - yet they still seem different (out of our world) at the same time.

Yeah, I also like the first helmet. I kinda dig the arrow designs.

The helmet ornaments seems a lot like early Star Trek uniform logos. They all had different "assignment patchs" that they used (more info link). Later they adopted the Enterprise assignment patch to be the standard logo you think of when you think of "Starfleet" (pic link).

The Colonials seemed to be headed that way in these concept helmets. Each Battlestar would have its unique helmet look. Something cool to set the characters apart with a quick visual - and hey - a way to sell more merchandise heehee

There also is an early Cylon helmet in the background - very cool pictures!

Indeed there is! Great eye, trooper18938.
And in that same photo, I wonder why there is a hole in the back of the Viper helmet? Maybe for a power cord to the light system???

those are cool!! ive never seen them before

That was the original goal when I started the site. Show off photos that had never been seen before, and the forum was a after thought the site web master at the time suggested I look into. Since no one at the time had a dedicated site on the Cylon's, or a Cylon builders forum I agreed, and today the original is still the biggest, and best Cylon builders site thanks to the members making this happen.
