Yes, it might be... but I have to share Dale's opinion, too.

If you're looking for a screen-accurate Cylon armor, this set can't satisfy.

The most inaccurate part would be the backpack and the undersuit as well.

But don't get me wrong, if you don't mind screen-accuracy and if you just want to have a Cylon costume to name your own, the Kropserkel suit will do it.

I personally can suggest the fiberglass-armor casted off from the original studio armor!

You can see a picture of my armor in the fan made Cylon-folder. Hope you like it!

Oh, by the way: The helmet-electronics (eye scanner and "warble"-sound) are finished! I'll make a small clip of my helmet soon :wink:

HI Moore, my name is Laurence and have just joined the forum, im glad to hear you like your costume as myself and a friend have just ordered 2 sets from them. One Gold and One Silver.

We are both members of UKGarrison which a member of the 501st. So our plan is to troop with the costume in our Movie Icon section.

I hope it will pass as our Garrison does have very high standards in costuming, we shall have to wait and see.

Looking good, well any Cylon in most cases looks good. How long did it take from the time you placed the order till it arrived?

Scott told me 5 to 6 weeks, I got it in 5 weeks.
My buddy saw my Armor and ordered a set and also got his in about 5 weeks.
Scott Rocks.

Unfortunatley I hav'nt finished my cylon armor to join them at c-4.
I have the Screen Acurate type and have to get it chromed,

But the people at the con Did'nt care about accuracy they were just amazed to see Cylons and hear the Super loud Eye warbble that mike had in his suit, you could hear the three for about 200 yards away!!!

That is way cool, thanks for the photos. I was asked to go to the CIV, but I didn't think Cylons would be cool there, so I passed. Looks like it was mistake to say no thanks.

My 1st thought was the guys that were being calling US the son of Star Wars, and a wanna be Star Wars guys. I haven't been to a Con since 1981, and it was limited to seller tables. Long story, but I wasn't sure what to expect, and no was safer than yes with a rare item, with unknown results.

They should have had an original series episode in which Apollo, Starbuck, and Boomer disguised themselves as Cylons after removing the innards out of three ceased functioning Cylons!! That would've made for one BAD-@$$ episode!!! Also they should have had episodes in which the Cylons made replicas of Apollo, Starbuck, Boomer, Tigh, and Adama, just like the Six Million Dollar Man had a replica of one of Steve's friends and Oscar!!

I'm NO fan of GINO, and Galactica 1980 SUCKED, but why didn't they (the Cylons) used humanoid androids in Battlestar Galactica:TOS?!!
The Cylon Vocoder is an EMS Vocoder!!! Also possibly used was the Marshall 5002 Time-Modulator!! Was an electric saxophone used with or instead of an unknown synthesizer or electric/electronic keyboard??

I should have mine done for Comic Con,
and there is another person looking into getting some armor also, so there is a possability of having 5 Cylons Invade the Con.

It would be an Honor to see a Your Real Cylon there.
