Mainly the black ribbed undergarment . Anyone ever seen any fabric like this , say,, on ebay or in a Wal-mart? The suit is too expensive for us indigent cylons...

I have seen body suits that are close enough to use as an under suit. A friend did buy one and then used a hot glue gun for the black ribbing section. check out this link

Hmmm.... I like the idea about the glue gun for making the ribbing,, That is a real possibility. Whats a good paint that would adhere to the glue though?

I just picked up a custome make under suit for an online buddy. It was made here in town by Erin @
http://www.corsetmaker.com/ She does very good work, and charges a good amount of money for her work. She is slow, and doesn't reply back to most email. If your looking for great detailed work and can handle slow work she is the one to make your under suit.

Here's one of my Cylons on display. The ribbing was hot-glued as described above...
