So nice to finally meet you in person. And wow do you fit the suit perfectly!

That costume is INCREDIBLE!!!

Who was in the Vulpa suit? I was guessing it might be Hand-Schaub?
It looked like it "might" have been a replica...or was it the original?

Great shot!

And look! Even the wrist armors are on their right places this time! :twisted: *Sorry*

Aaak! I missed meeting you, borjis. I was the Centurion with the rifle. Vulpa was Hand-Schaub and he made it himself - a masterpiece!

A big thank you for even suggesting it might be an original. Sorry I missed you!

well darn....It didn't occur to me that everyone wearing armor was a member here. Even though I'd read you
were going to on this forum, weeks before the event.

Because I was literally overwhelmed by the entire event. (my first con too)
I was just telling my buddy who attended with me, that the whole thing seems like a dream now, if not
for the photo evidence I was actually there.

I wished I'd spoken to each of you now. Just seeing you guys in costume was
a HUGE treat for me.....a childhood dream come true...seeing REAL cylons in person.

I missed that panel you guys did, but I'm looking forward to seeing
the recording when it's posted.

The color was spot on :)

The 2 thoughts running through my head when I saw you were:

1. Would Paul Allen/scifi museum loan Vulpa out? I thought it could be possible.

2. I noticed when you all congregated by the Raider, when you were near Dale,
I started comparing details and noticed your chest piece "seemed" a bit different.

That was the only thing that made me think it might be a replica. :cool:

In any case, my friend and I were beside ourselves in awe in your presence.

Where you the gold cylon that earlier in the day posed in the raider cockpit?

Thanks again,

The gold cylon you are pictured with is another guy (he was the one who worked on the Argo movie). His suit is a Krop. You are right about he chest piece being different. I tried to make it a bit more costume friendly and beer belly accommodating. :salute:

Hand-Schaub is right on, it wasn't me. I am a standard chrome Centurion. You can spot me with the "Knight Rider" chest logo bits - and except for the opening night I was the only one with a rifle.

Borjis you should have hung around a bit. Sorry we didn't get to talk, but as you might have not heard you cant hear me very well when I am wearing the helmet. Glad you said who you were a board member or I would have never known. Great that that you made it to the Con.
