Thanks for letting me join.
I am Sue, an all-round geek. Me and the husband want to start creating a BSG cosplay, so I am reaching out to others with similar interests for hints and tips.

Welcome Sue and Damon..!! Great group here.., don't let the silence here fool you. A fairly healthy and vocal group off-and-on.
Lots of great experience and helpful costuming advice here.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Welcome to the ranks of Blackstar Squadron, Warrior First Level General Malaise, but I cannot help wondering which division you joined--was it Caprica, Gemoni, or Scorpia? I myself am undergoing re-training in Gamma Company of Caprica Division.
And my re-training course struck a major snag when my first attempt to duplicate my old Core Command bridge officer uniform proved, upon completion, to be of Grade D quality--and less than comfortable to wear for long periods.

Hello. Thank you for letting me join! Been a fan since I was a kid and still watch the show whenever I get the chance. Along with the show, interested in screen accurate props and costumes and any behind the scenes info I can find.

Hi fellow warriors just wanted to intruduce myself again. my old username was nomad 27 its now Fury. I completed my uniform a few months ago and now trying to make a knee board for my costume, like all of you I loved battlestar since I was a kid. I remember the show came on tv when I was 12 and loved it ever since. I also like Star wars and Star Trek. I currently live in waterbury Ct and a prior us military veteran. Im currently a Leo in CT.

Hi Everyone!
I've been an avid SciFi reader since I was a child, and a BSG fan since the show first aired. I think what I liked most about the original series was its "ethos" - sadly missing in the new series (a generational thing, I guess.)
Newbie in the costuming world, but I have been collecting and building props for decades. I have an EFX Helmet and a Blaster, currently working on a gunbelt (many thanks for all the great technical help available here! It has already saved me from many potential mistakes.)
I own/operate a niche manufacturing company in Wisconsin. Hobbies include fabrication, 3D modeling (Solidworks, Blender, Poser, Daz3D) and film special effects.
Guess that is it!
Best,
Howy

I should also add: my company has a wax/resin/silicon shop (including a rotocasting machine), a cnc and manual machine shop, and investment casting in any metal. I'd be interested in helping out with prop making if anyone has masters that need to be replicated.

Including for our dress medallions? Quote us prices in cubits, and we will DEFINITELY make usage of whatever services you have to offer along those lines!

I'd need to know dimensions, materials, etc (better quote if I had an original in hand). The Dress Medallions are pretty involved pieces (and lots of pieces) and with variations in materials on composition. But I would only charge time and materials for fellow members (because I still have to pay the guys that would make them.) But i imagine it would be less than any normal business which would want to build in a profit. Cubits should be saved for fumarellos and stakes at pyramid (and maybe the occasional socialator), not for buying what should be standard issue equipment... Including for our dress medallions?

Hello, everyone. It's nice to meet you all.
I've had a partial Colonial Warrior costume sitting in my closet for years. Now that I finally have the opportunity to fix the piece that didn't fit, it's suddenly a possibility that I might be able to complete and wear this one day, so I'm taking stock of what I need to do that. I have the tans, battle jacket, and an unpainted resin blaster kit. I'm excited to go through all the archives here and learn about the missing pieces like the boots (gah, those darn boots!) and what the different options are for making/buying them.
I have several Star Wars costumes and have always loved the look of the classic BSG uniform. Plus Vipers are sweet. Thanks for letting me poke around on here, and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!
