Hi Guys. Finally after all this time I am now building my first Centurion. I'm a true newb with this but an old hand at PVC/ABS builds. Member of the 501st. Built my own TK and I thought I had all this figured out before they said to use 3M Adhesive tape for an internal Cover Strip and Goop rather than E6000. Anyways. Starting my journey and hope to pick up on an accurate build faithful to the original series. Building a Kropsercle Cylon right out of the gate. Just finished the helmet and could probably use alot of help along the way. Thanks much and I hope you don't mind the link to what I've achieved so far in my build. I guess I started with the hardest part.

Welcome aboard the Basestar, massman!
You started out with a bang and lived up to my moto. Well done, Centurion.
Great video, awesome editing, music and sound effects!! I was worried at the black sail panels... NOOOooOoOo! -oh- it's just primer, cool.
I have a TK as well, that needs some TLC. I did the Centurion first. I also did the helmet first. Great sci-fi fans think alike. lol
Looking forward to more of you build and helping out with any information that could be handy. I subscribed to your YouTube so I won't miss another build update.
If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check out our gallery.

I may have made a mistake. I had been getting pressure to apply chrome tape. Best source (later proved to be fail) found was this:
I was ok with the seam as I'd binge watched every episode of the original classic BSG. However maybe it can be improved. So I went the one way ticket of applying this material and I was to say the least not impressed. It did not match the sheen of the chrome as perfectly as I'd desired. I'm thinking if I can find a better more accurate material, the only resolution would be to tape over the tape. I just can't find the precise right material.
