If you are considering a screen accurate Cylon undersuit as others have said on here you can't go wrong with the undersuit made by paarexcellence. Cordula is a seamstress in Germany and my order is her 9th suit she's made so far. It is expensive but when you see the degree of craftsmanship put in you'll see why. It's certainly not for everyones budget but for those seeking screen accuracy this is the way to go.

She starts off making a simple fabric undersuit that she'll send you to try on and take pictures of to get the fit right. From there she'll make the suit. I have a few fit issues with the final suit but returned the piece to her and she adjusted it. Incredible customer service. I first contract her on March 20th for the suit and had it on May 4th. The adjustments made took less than a week and I received the final suit on June 17th.

Here is the final suit, I have my upgrade boots on that still need to be painted.

And the crazy Cylon Centurion woman behind this...

The nylon suit is a stretchy fabric, the patches are a latex material sewn on over a neoprene backer and sewn to the undersuit. I need to add velcro for my shoulder armour and adjust the hooks for the mesh skirt lower as they were placed too high. I may get the neck taken in as its bit loose fitting.

Next Cylon outing i'll be wearing this and update with fully dressed photos.

Amazing. Great score. How long was the wait for the build? Awesome idea for the shoulder straps. :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold:

The detail on this under suit is outstanding, may i ask what the final price was?, i am thinking on getting one based on this thread as it looks like the way to go.

Thank you for your time.

It's best to contact her for a price quote as it can vary... If you supply fabric or not, details/items included or excluded, etc. There could conceivably be large differences of dollars for different customers.

You looks amazing.
Her suit looks everytime better.
The work with the stretchy fabric and the latex is also not very easy. That is also a point if the price.
The only "bad" thing is the latex, you can't display the suit with your armor. If the latex get to much sun, it will fade from dark grey to "white". But if you need, you can take some latex spray to get rid of it.
Have fun with you suit :cylon:

Are the zippers down the legs considered accurate or is it for convenience?

From what I remember it was accurate.
