I know its not 1:1 but I love it and was good for the price. as I work with lighting on a day to day basis im sure I can find something to diffuse it a bit at work tomorrow. just need the rest to turn up now and I can crack on.

:grin:

I plan to get a eye scanner from Jupiter in a few weeks time too.
Has anybody got a clear recording of the startup warble for centuri from the night the cylons landed?.

Oh, that wouldn't be easy since there's quite a lot of background noise (buring computers, explosions and such).

Has anyone ever heard of or used a company called Profylestudios?

http://www.profylestudios.com/

Asked them if they could make a undersuit and sent them some pics etc just received a reply saying yes they could at $395 Canadian dollars inc p&p to the UK - its about the same as a Krop undersuit but not sure of the quality. The stuff on their website looks good but wondered if anyone else has had dealings with them.

Never heard of them before but judging by the stuff they've done they'd make a great undersuit.

Please keep us posted on this.

Not too sure how much to trim off the mouth grill to make it fit. May need to add an extra bit in where the gap is too depending on how much more I trim off the rest of the head.

Good luck with the trimming. Don't hesitate to ask if you don't know how to cut a part, we're all glad to help!

Have you found a company for chroming yet?
