Everything Points to the Classic Cylon Centurion

[tejanovader]

Having been a big fan of the Classic Series, the Reimagined and Caprica, I am more and more convinced that all things point to the Classic Centurion design and I am once again loving all things robotic!
Currently, I am building the re-release of the classic raider and basestar. I definitely want to add a helmet to my sci fi helmet collection. Anyway! Hello!

tejanovader - WELCOME! Glad that you've joined, post often and have fun.

Have you seen my Raider build? Here is a link to the thread:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=558 However it ends, is how it sits... one of the rainy day projects that I have not had to time to get to you. You need to put up a build diary of your ships... I'd like to see one on the Basestar. I still need to get one of them.

Again, WELCOME!

Hey tejonovader, welcome, and kick the tires around here a bit, and also throw out anything you have to offer up. Projects you have completed, photos of your collection, and what ever else you might have a gift for doing.

Thanks guys for the nice welcome. I think I am really going to love this Forum a lot. I have also posted my build of the most amazing Pixar Cars character, "BESSIE" over at www.carsthetoys.com. Go to "RAMONE'S HOUSE of BODY ART" and look for "Building Bessie"

I actually sold the 1st version of this build and used the money to buy the basestar and the raider.

So, it looks like I will be posting over at the model threads.....ha ha...

HOLY WOW!
Your BESSIE build is perfectly awesome! You are going to make my poor raider look like I put it together while in the fourth grade! lol
I am going to watch your Cylon builds with INTREST!

Again - wow - BESSIE rocks.

[tejanovader]

Thanks for the compliment on Bessie. I don't have the first idea about how I am going to do this raider build yet...lol. I think the care you put into your build is most impressive. It is truly a beautiful piece.
One thing I have decided on is to use the color scheme from the raider in "RAZOR". There is a very good reference shot of the rear of the raider as it is coming to destroy the raptor. I have never really done the lighting thing on anything before, so this will take some time. Thanks for posting your process. It will be most helpful. I am really enjoying this site, by the way.

Glad you like the site, and that my build diary is helpful. I need to get back to that
One thing I think I need to change is the "chrome-ness" I will need to really weather mine down. Tinman is currently building a classic Raider too, and I've seen a sneak peak photo of it - and I must say - WOW! We have some talented members!

Greetings and welocme to all things Cylon! make ya self at home, wander the corridors of this vast empire, post away on all things with an evil red eye,menacing voice and shiney chrome!!
Looking forward to seeing the basestar as I've had one lying round the place for years and haven't had the time to get it out of the box yet! SHAME ON ME!!!!!!

[GoldCylon]

SoulSearcher, nice Cylon you have in your signature there. Is that your Cylon?

[tejanovader]

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone. I feel the cold metallic sense of friendship already!!! My avatar is "Robbie" the robot from Lost Planet. He is, to me, arguably the father of sentient SCI FI robots. I will be lurking around the site, but don't be suprised if I post mostly over at the models thread.....ha ha...

[Cylon-Knight]

Robbie is totally awesome, indeed. That (along with the B9 "Robot" from Lost In Space - classic show) would be a fun build to do. *sigh* If I only had unlimited time and money.
