VULPA! Hand-Schaub finally finishes a Cylon

[Hand-Schaub]

It's "done".... As we all know, just because it has all the parts there are many things to do on it. BUT...

Presenting... The Hand-Schaub created, copper plated, Vulpa!

[Red Eye]

"Pulsar ready to fire!"

He looks AWESOME!!!

Congrats on achieving such a great-looking costume.

Don't know if Cylon-Knight already asked you, but would you mind taking a few detailed photos for our sister site at Cylon Empire (when you can find the time, of course)?

We're still lacking good Command Centurion pics and yours is the one I'd like to see on the page!

Keep up your sensational work, Cylon Master Builder!

Oh, and I'd love to use your photos for our Command Centurion replica costume folder in the gallery.

Permission granted?

Join the ranks of a command officer, once you fix your bicep. Looking real good

Brian, it is PERFECT!!!!!!
I both love it and hate it... I love it as it is hard core awesome and you'll win first and second and third place in the costume contest as rocks so much! I hate it as I'll win fourth place. lol

I can't wait to learn more about the Jupiter and smoked parts... that is what makes our hobby so fun is all the different methods and great ideas our talented members have! SO SAY WE ALL!!!

If you want I could snap the photos Red Eye is talking about when you have the parts all out at the con. It should take about 10-15 min tops to take the photos. Then I'll do some Photoshop work and they will grace CylonEmpire.com as our "gold standard." (P.S. Your Photoshop photos you hit out of the park! The first one looks like a studio promo - WELL DONE).

And best of travels to Vulpa, already on his way to Texas to smite lowly humans!

Thanks "Big Three" for the comments (I always notice it's the same three guys to first post)

Redeye - Yes, You may use the images for whatever you need . I'll be happy to be the model
The armor is copper - it's funny how lighting really does make a difference.

Dale - Your keen eye for detail astounds me however I think you can see from the other shots the bicep has bee rectified.

CK - It's great that I'll be able to show you my 'lens system' in person. I wouldn't worry about the costume contest - in all honesty I wasn't really aware they had one and chances are is that I wont fell like having this thing on longer than just a few hours during the day let alone while waiting around for a contest. There is always the possibility of a group entry too?

absolutely perfect. I love it.

[Hand-Schaub]

there - fixed the arm

[GoldCylon]

Photo shop edit, or did you suit back up.

[Flyboy]

WOW! Perfect!

[darthmiller]

Wow man...that is incredible

[Hand-Schaub]

Thanks everybody. After a few fittings I worked out a few bugs. The helmet is still a bother but I guess these things aren't designed for too much comfort.

I'm actually looking forward to suiting up at Galacticon now. This may be the one time where it is truly appreciated.

I'm actually thinking of leaving the riffle at home... it would mean more shipping costs. Instead I can have a pistol sidearm and 'free hands' (Unless anybody is interested in a Skullbeast riffle with batteries and has cash to offer at the con... 'll bring it).

shot from the inside. I actually use the grill and center of the scanner bezel to look out of. The hard hat liner did not work as I wished but in the end the damn thing just sits on your head anyways!

[Red Eye]

I planned to use the adjustable inner hard had thingie when starting my build.

But I decided to use some foam padding instead... but it's still VERY unconfortable to wear like you said!

And don't worry about the slipped bicep armor! It happened before during filming "The Hand of God" so wearing it like this is another way of achieving a 1:1 Command Centurion!

Here's a screencap of the specific scene:

Oh my god, what a beauty. Amazing work. He looks perfect to me.
A+++

Id bring the pistol. The rifle is too bulky for the con. PM Sent
