Baltar Caprican delegate costume.

Post by Baltar uk » Sun Apr 28, 2013 2:51 pm

So I wanted a very accurate costume as my first attempt was not great.
I found the original on propworx archives and got as many screen shots as possible.
Wig Black brown mid-length parted on the left and I cut in a bit of a style!!
Glasses ebay shipped from china.
Tweed jacket I listed all of the unique qualities and searched it took 3 months to find a screen accurate one.
Shirt looks white on lots of the screen shots but its green.
Tie Baltar wears two different ties 1 blue with red and silver stripe 1940/50s Raylon.2 Red white and grey 100%silk: note the unusual direction of the stripes in the pic.
Id badge replicated from screen shot.
Trousers chocolate brown velvet 'jeans' umm nice!!
Shoes replicated from screen shot.
link to all pics including screen shots below:

Looks like an easy costume to build but surprising how long it actually took!! In my pockets I have a replica of Baltar's notebook and two tickets to the pyramid game!

Love it!
You did some great research and have created a perfect copy. The shoes and badge both bring the entire look home. Great work!!!
