Fiberglass or Styrene?

Any thoughts on which is better?

The fiberglass version that is out there from Brad down under is pulled from a 100% pure screen used Cylon, but the draw back is that isn't what was used in the production, and the weight of the pieces if more than 3 or 4 times the styrene version. Now the styrene version is very accurate, but is off a bit. The problem is that it lacks some of the finer details, but only can be seen by people that have seen a screen used Cylon in person, and or have studied the details. If your looking for a display piece, a fiberglass version is the way to go. If your looking to wear it, then styrene is the way to go. The cost is about the same either way.
Welcome on board. Hope this helps.

I've got my armor from Bentley as well

It's worth every penny, in my opinion...

I would let Bentley know that you need a shipping tracking number ASAP, or you will need to file a Pay Pal claim. Two months is enough time to fill the order.

I have my fingers crossed for you. If it is the same seller I think it is then there has been trouble with his eBay feedback.
Now he could have been blitzed by bad customers, but I am not sure.
Oh and the cylon armour molds were also up for sale on eBay (didn't sell).

Those Cylon molds might be the same molds used to make the Cylon armor that Bentley sells, because Bentley, and Brad (the eBay seller) are good friends. I believe they share a web site of their work. Brad is a flake when it comes to things that don't profit his self, or pocket, but isn't a thief. Bentley is just all over the map in filling orders very very slow in most cases, but in a few he is quick. I think in some cases he has taken the money and ran, but not 100% sure. These are things I have recently read about Bentley on an other forum. I have not had any personal dealings with him in the past.

I filed a dispute. He had said he would ship this week or by today. No contact,

He will have to provide proof of shipment or you will get a refund. Hope it works out and suit shops up very soon.

When I saw the molds up for sale, in the eBay auction he had listed that he doesn't take PayPal anymore.

Now I don't know enough to judge, but that type of exclusion makes me very wary. It may be that he has just been mucked around by PayPal - again I don't know.

The website they had is no longer functioning, or at least I can't find it. Anyway I hope that things work out, there are too few manufacturers out there.

There was no reply to the dispute. So I went to the next level what ever that does and left negative feedback. *sigh*
