Greetings from SG

Greetings To One and All

From SG ie Singapore. To my knowledge the 4th Cylon (well...would be) on this tropical island. Wished i had a build to share but am getting my outfit from Kropserkel. My plan is to try to add some 'Lights' to the backpack. Kropsekel has despatched the package (yahoo). ETA: . Somewhere in Apr-May.

Welcome, matsom! Glad you've joined.

Can't wait to see your build start - and the added lights. I've been talking with another member who's in the process of adding lights to his back pack as well. It'll be interesting to see what you two create. Hope the shipment arrives early.

Post often and enjoy the site!

Thank you for the welcome Cylon Knight. Yes. I’ll share some pictures on the suit up when it comes. Besides the lights my main aim is to figure out an alternative to the inner suit as i’ve read it can get really toasty which will make it even hotter here in the tropics. So yeah a backup suit to the kropserkel one.

Hi matsom. Glad you found us here. Any chance your Krop suit shown up yet? Did you get the newer backpack?

[matsom]

Well would you know it. Just as i read your post, a large box just came - from Canada. Its a surprise to me as Kropserkel informed me the stuff had been despatched about 2 weeks back shipped by Canada Post. I saw it said Surface Mail so i’d assume that meant shipping by sea as Canada Post’s site shipping estimate was 2-3 months for Asia.
There’s nothing like the feeling you get when while at work you gets a call from home telling you that there is a big box waiting for you when you finished work . I haven’t opened it yet. I’ll post some pictures of the backpack and armour etc here when i opened the goodie box. Maybe i’ll do a short simple Unboxing video on Youtube and post a link here too.

First things i would probably try to do is make new thigh chaps from Abs. A fellow cylon here did that and is offering to help with that. He preferred the more rigid look of the abs compared to the leather chaps of Krop. Its attached with elastic straps i believe at the back. Here’s a photo of his thigh chap.

Congrats on the early arrival. Time to do the Cylon dance.

Well its still early morning here but here’s 2 teaser pics for those who are thinking of going the Krop route . Very nice cylon helmet stamp. The list of items in the box is a nice thing too. I was a bit tensed when i saw a circled 2 on the box. 2 of 2 boxes? Then where’s the circled 1? Or maybe its Box No 2 of say 10 boxes Krop was shipping out to customers - that makes sense too. Guess i have to go through the box later to find out.

[GoldCylon]

I love it. Shipping provided by Cylon Freight and Annihilation.

[matsom]

I bet they used the Raider to deliver. I was asking Krop to maybe have a centurion show up at the door to deliver the box next time for future clients. Imagine he turning up and saying ‘the imperious leader has chosen you to join the ranks Centurion’

Here’s a picture of the Kropserkel backpack. Just opened and a quick look. Have not tried it on yet. It does look smaller than the previous version.

Here is the helmet

[Cylon-Knight]

Looking good, matsom!!!

Keep us posted... and remember...

[matsom]

Initial pictures of the parts. Still in the ‘awestruck too scared to touch in case i get prints all over it’ stage

[GoldCylon]

That is pretty cool photos. I haven't seem a Krop packing before.
