Locating armor and undersuit in Atlanta
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2017 4:04 pm
Greetings centurions,
I have been a member here since 2008 and have visited from time to time. I did not really start into the cosplay thing until 2012. Most of everything I have built is over on Replica Prop Forum under the same user name (11b30b4). I try to do pretty extensive write-up on what I build to help others with their cosplay and extend what I have learned and the mistakes I have made. I do not do any of this for profit or as a job.
I live in the Metropolitan Atlanta area and have been attending DragonCon since the very first one in 1987. For 2017, my cosplay was a Mandalorian. Here is a lint to the build https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=278366
So I built everything from scratch except the boots, gloves, undershirt, and pants (although I did alter the pants) I have built my own vacuum forming machine (24”x24” and made all the armor bucks from a suit of Boba Fett Armor that was lent to me. I purchased an extremely bad helmet from a guy on etsy and had to do extensive work to make it look correct then I roto cast my won helmet. All this was done with my best friend DAC.
So for years we have wanted to do Cylons. We even drew-up some concept artwork for steampunk Cylons; however, we never got around to making anything in the BSG universe. That all changes for 2018. I will be building a Cylon Centurion from scratch except for the boots and gloves. What I am hoping for is someone in the Atlanta area who has a full set of armor and the under suit to use a guide. Based on the locator map there are no Cylons in Atlanta.
If I am unable to source the armor and undersuit, I will have to make all the bucks from scratch by hand. If anyone can help out with this, I will offer them the same deal I did for my friend with the Boba Fett Armor. Lend me your armor and I will return it in roughly 2 months’ time, undamaged along with a full set of new armor vacuum formed by me. Thanks in advance and feel free to e-mail me at 11b30b4@gmail.com.
If all goes well this will be the place I blog the build and hopefully make some new friends.
