Great job on the pistol. Symmetrical or wonky? I'd leave it wonky. The detailing on the helmet is very cool, and it's great there may be a replica soon......would you be making some available to members as well?

Over on the C3P0 builders forum, a member is in fact building a 1:1 VINCENT http://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/t79

I've been watching that since the start, yes. I lurk on their site A LOT - I'm too FAT to bother to build a C-3PO... but I can DREAM.

Yes, that V.I.N.CENT. makes me slobber, but the build has STALLED forever.... :(

If there is enough interest, I think a kit could be made...

Once my helmet is done, I'll post a few pics of it and start an interest thread...

Thanks! I'm still waiting for the Imperious Leader pics my pal had made at my last visit.

Some of them came out really great.

I'll upload them as soon as I got them.

While we're thinking of the possible kits, I think we each need: 2 pistols, and 2 helmets - one maroon, and of course, one black as S.T.A.R.

By the way, I think its great we can discuss this on a Cylon forum - 70's/80's robots share some common design asthetics, and make for great displays.

Oh yeah, trooper18938... we all love cool costumes and robots! Don't be shy to post "non-Cylon" stuff.

Good point.

Me too was thinking of painting the helmet all black.

But if you go for a S.T.A.R. replica costume, you also have to make the medal thingy on his chest plate.

S.T.A.R. also uses a different belt than the ordinary Sentries.

Here's a screencap of him to see how he differs from his minions:

Plus... you'd have to install a "smoke" system so you can flip-out like S.T.A.R. does when V.I.N.CENT. puts the smack down on him :) w00t!

Nice screen cap, there is my buddy V.I.N.CENT. about to lay down the robot law! :P

ah! And I noticed just now... does S.T.A.R. have different guns? He's seem to be silver, the standard Sentry has black guns... is that right? I'll have to rewatch the movie :twisted: I watched it about a week ago... time for another viewing!
