Now, it seems your armor is about to get finished!

Awesome work!

WoW! awesome Work!!

Thanks guys! I am keeping at it... gotta be ready for Galacticon


Left: Glued the scabbard together. I am afraid that it will be waaaaay too weak.
Right: Added plastic layer.


Left: Putty on the edges, I'll sand it up all smooth and when chromed it will seem as one piece
Right: My chest scratch build again - I sanded down the trim to size and then added putty again.


A few touch up putty spots added to the helmet and back pack (not picture) too

Tomorrow should be the final sanding on the armor! And I am going to try to bake the F.L.A.G. Knight too... we'll see how that goes.
I'm going to review my "to do" list and see what else to tend too.

O.M.G.
I've been working so crazy fast on my Centurion! *wipes brow*
I got my armor ready to get out to Hand-Schaub. CHROME IS ON THE WAY BABY... "Cylon-White" no more
Below is the new update:


Left: I needed to bake my clay F.L.A.G. Knight logo, cut up and bent an old cookie sheet. Man, I LOVE tin snips.
Right: All moved over, ready to bring on the HEAT


Left: 275 degrees
Right: Here we go....


Left: Setting the timer to 30 min per 1/4" of clay. Mine was just a TINY bit over 1/4 at the thickest part, so I just did 30 min.
Right: Cooking with Cylon-Knight, brought to you by Sculpey


Left: Out of the oven, looking good! I let it cool for a few hours. I have cut myself enough - didn't want a burn too!
Right: Here we go, back on the chest bit - the curve is looking GOOD.


Left: Close up of the curve. Ever thing worked out. *JOY*
Right: Time to put on the doll eye "bolts" - marked the spots to drill.


Left: Drilling
Right: A Hole


Left: First "bolt" in - perfect fit, snaps right into place like it was made in a Cylon Factory!
Right: Both lower bolts are done. Sweet.


Left: Here you can see how the top bolts (Doll Eyes) are just a TINY bit larger, just like the Cylon Insignia (or so as I can tell)
Right: Drilling and attaching the top bolts


All done! MY FIRST SCRATCH BUILD!!!!!!!


Test fitting with all the Cylon-Knight Insignia bits


Left: Gotta keep going! My Scabbard bracket - hand crafted by Brother-Cylon-Knight. AWESOME HUH???? I told him we need to make some to stock the Cylon Store - stay tuned on that after he perfects mine.
Right: The back pack collar part is now glued in place. Everything is TOGETHER and ready for chrome as best as I can do.


The trigger hole in my Sean Rifle. Brother-Cylon-Knight came up with the perfect solution to mount the switch to the rifle. Stay tuned for that in a later update.


Okay. It is time Cylon-Knight travels a bit more, this time to Sunny California for some wicked CHROME!!!
He has a brand new box, and me to pack him up so over-kill style, it isn't even funny.


Left: Look, top left, Cylon Puppy is going to miss Cylon-Knight.
Right: Look, Cylon Kitty is going to miss Cylon-Knight too!
They both showed up to wish him well on his trip to see his Cylon brother, Hand-Schaub.


Left: All packed up, and a packing list of all the various treasures inside the box.
Right: Closed up. Wow, a lot of money and work all fit in such a small box... dang! Happy travels buddy, see a shiny new you when you get back home.

I was looking at that handy drill work, and thinking Ha...He is screwed.... , anyway looks awesome. Very well done. Can't wait to send the attack Daggit after you. Making your own personal rate. Outlandish. Unless the Daggit's I say.

Great work! It will be in good hands.

I like the FLAG insignia. Very smart.
Did you consider painting the armour gloss black like KITT.
I always wondered what a cylon would look like in gloss black.
Anyway good work.

Great work, and the insignia came out better than I thought. can't wait to see everything chromed up.

Oh my... there's so much to look at!

LOVE the insignia, by the way. It came out GREAT!

Bro! Looks awesome..and that knight is just too Cool.It makes me SO HAPPY to finely see you get to this point of your build.
Great job my Cylon brother.....

Im sure Ill hear all the giggling all the way here in Cal when you finally get to see it chromed. Nice work my friend.

Thanks everyone!
Cylon-Knight is now in Sacramento... On a truck for delivery!

Hand-Schaub take some photos if you can please... Of "The night the Cylon-Knight landed" ;-)
I told my wife she can scrapbook me up a build album, lucky her. lol

Transit complete. Box was here at 7:30am. Sorry no pictures but everything is in good order. I'm off to work now but a bit later I will be bringing the suit to the chrome painter. Will report later tonight

whooooo wheeeee!!! Thank you HS!!!!

Left: My new plate to mount the "trigger" switch in my rifle - 1/2 installed when this photo was taken.
Right: The switch all wired up.


Installed! It will be painted black and blend in then. It was made from some tread plate metal - but the treads were hammered down. The paint will help to hide the fact they used to be there. The little screws are not quite flush, but, with a hockey glove finger over the trigger ready to *zap* at any moment no one will ever see them.



The Scabbard mount, all done - and super Cylon sexy!
Only thing is ... the scabbard is in California now to be chromed - D'OH! lol
