Or what about an Cylon Civilian?

The only tricky thing about it would be the mask I think because of lacking clear pics of it...

Yes, that would be the hardest Cylon to do screen accurate. They were on screen for so little and so dimly lit / far from the camera... a great challenge for some of the awesome talent of the ByYourCommand.net members :)

But they would look so nice, all the fabric and fine details. Wow.

The masks and robes of them where also reused on "Buck Rogers"...

So they might be around somewhere...

An complete Cylon Civilian was also sold on Profiles in History during their 16th Hollywood Memorabilia auction.

If you want a scan, please let me know.

That would be great! Please do send a scan.

Do you know what episode of Buck Rogers they had the costume in? I own the series on DVD and can take some captures of it (I've not watched the DVDs yet).

The masks can be seen in the episode of the first season called "A dream of Jennifer". Ironically, Anne Lockhart (Sheba) had a guest role in this episode.

The robes where also used in this episode and the pilot episode of the second season titled "Time of the Hawk".

Unfortunately, I've loaned my first season DVD set away so I can't provide any screencaps of the masks.

Speaking of Galactica-reuses in Buck Rogers: I've put together an comprehensive list of what Galactica-prop where reused in which episode of Buck Rogers.

I might have missed a few props or costumes because of the high quantities of reuses, but I think it's pretty nice to see.

I'll upload it too if you like.

Sounds great! Yes, send the list, I'll try to get caps of everything... I have my DVDs just a few feet away. I can put them in my laptop and make the caps.

Be sure to include the star fighters on Buck Rogers... they were originally one of the concepts for Battlestar's Vipers. They were not used in BSG, and later recycled for Buck.
