Re: Building my Cylon-Knight

Awesome work!

Re: Building my Cylon-Knight
Thanks guys! I am keeping at it... gotta be ready for Galacticon
Left: Glued the scabbard together. I am afraid that it will be waaaaay too weak.
Right: Added plastic layer.
Left: Putty on the edges, I'll sand it up all smooth and when chromed it will seem as one piece
Right: My chest scratch build again - I sanded down the trim to size and then added putty again.
A few touch up putty spots added to the helmet and back pack (not picture) too
Tomorrow should be the final sanding on the armor! And I am going to try to bake the F.L.A.G. Knight too... we'll see how that goes.
I'm going to review my "to do" list and see what else to tend too.

Re: Building my Cylon-Knight
O.M.G.
I've been working so crazy fast on my Centurion! *wipes brow*
I got my armor ready to get out to Hand-Schaub. CHROME IS ON THE WAY BABY... "Cylon-White" no more
Below is the new update:
Left: I needed to bake my clay F.L.A.G. Knight logo, cut up and bent an old cookie sheet. Man, I LOVE tin snips.
Right: All moved over, ready to bring on the HEAT
Left: 275 degrees
Right: Here we go....
Left: Setting the timer to 30 min per 1/4" of clay. Mine was just a TINY bit over 1/4 at the thickest part, so I just did 30 min.
Right: Cooking with Cylon-Knight, brought to you by Sculpey
Left: Out of the oven, looking good! I let it cool for a few hours. I have cut myself enough - didn't want a burn too!
Right: Here we go, back on the chest bit - the curve is looking GOOD.
Left: Close up of the curve. Ever thing worked out. *JOY*
Right: Time to put on the doll eye "bolts" - marked the spots to drill.
Left: Drilling
Right: A Hole
Left: First "bolt" in - perfect fit, snaps right into place like it was made in a Cylon Factory!
Right: Both lower bolts are done. Sweet.
Left: Here you can see how the top bolts (Doll Eyes) are just a TINY bit larger, just like the Cylon Insignia (or so as I can tell)
Right: Drilling and attaching the top bolts
All done! MY FIRST SCRATCH BUILD!!!!!!!
Test fitting with all the Cylon-Knight Insignia bits
Left: Gotta keep going! My Scabbard bracket - hand crafted by Brother-Cylon-Knight. AWESOME HUH???? I told him we need to make some to stock the Cylon Store - stay tuned on that after he perfects mine.
Right: The back pack collar part is now glued in place. Everything is TOGETHER and ready for chrome as best as I can do.
The trigger hole in my Sean Rifle. Brother-Cylon-Knight came up with the perfect solution to mount the switch to the rifle. Stay tuned for that in a later update.
Okay. It is time Cylon-Knight travels a bit more, this time to Sunny California for some wicked CHROME!!!
He has a brand new box, and me to pack him up so over-kill style, it isn't even funny.
Left: Look, top left, Cylon Puppy is going to miss Cylon-Knight.
Right: Look, Cylon Kitty is going to miss Cylon-Knight too!
They both showed up to wish him well on his trip to see his Cylon brother, Hand-Schaub.
Left: All packed up, and a packing list of all the various treasures inside the box.
Right: Closed up. Wow, a lot of money and work all fit in such a small box... dang! Happy travels buddy, see a shiny new you when you get back home.

Re: Building my Cylon-Knight
I was looking at that handy drill work, and thinking Ha...He is screwed.... , anyway looks awesome. Very well done. Can't wait to send the attack Daggit after you. Making your own personal rate. Outlandish. Unless the Daggit's I say.

Re: Building my Cylon-Knight
I like the FLAG insignia. Very smart.
Did you consider painting the armour gloss black like KITT.
I always wondered what a cylon would look like in gloss black.
Anyway good work.

Re: Building my Cylon-Knight
Left: My new plate to mount the "trigger" switch in my rifle - 1/2 installed when this photo was taken.
Right: The switch all wired up.
Installed! It will be painted black and blend in then. It was made from some tread plate metal - but the treads were hammered down. The paint will help to hide the fact they used to be there. The little screws are not quite flush, but, with a hockey glove finger over the trigger ready to *zap* at any moment no one will ever see them.
The Scabbard mount, all done - and super Cylon sexy!
Only thing is ... the scabbard is in California now to be chromed - D'OH! lol
