Hello, I have been digging thru my "archives" recently and found one of my favorite pieces, and thought it was worthy to show off:

Very cool! Why did they have those holes above the eye slit?
The holes above the eye slit were so that the person wearing the helmet could see. The actual "eye" slot had the Larson scanner in it.
Nice job on the chrome. How was it done and what is the helmet made of?
Heh, well I'm not an officianado on chroming. But it seems like the type of chroming found on toys and such. No clearcoating, and all that. The helmet is vacuformed in 2 main halves, the mouth is also vacuformed (so it's no hero head, though it does have the working eye), and the eye socket is cast resin of some kind. I really love this piece. I've owned original BSG warrior outfits, etc. but I will always prefer the armor/robots.
Wow, now that's a prop to be proud of!
Would you mind showing a few more details like the electronics inside, etc.?
You also can PM me if you don't want to post it in public.
A company in Rancho Cucamonga did the chrome - they also did the Raiders of the Lost Ark gold on the Amulet, Idol & Ark Angels.
Now that's really cool. Always loved the original Cylons. Nice.
Thanks for the comments. Any suggestions for a display?
Very nice indeed. I have one with a textured finish like the gold Vulpa Cylon and it's original working eye. How long have you had yours?
A gold Cylon...? Oooo... my favorite.Capedcollector said:
I've had this one since around 1995 or so...?
Very cool. The chrome look alone makes it stand out. Nice piece.

If so, please post away!
What is a Larson scanner?Ceric Neesh said:
I also put the gold Cylon up on the auction block. I have had it over 2 years, but it never was mine. I put the deal together, but two weeks after the deal was completed the new owner said sell it. It has on the market since then, and now made its way to the PropWorx auction house for the Aug 27th event. Also the only known 78 version of a Daggit is on the auction block. The SciFi Museum in Seattle has Galactica 1980 fur.

Wow, what a great gold cylon! Thanks for posting.
I recall in 1992 I was working with a guy at an FX shop who's friend was selling 3 near-complete centurion costumes from his collection, for 3 grand a piece! I didn't have the money at the time and missed out, but I never forgot about that.
Here's a couple more angles of mine.
Sweet Clylon! Was always one of my favorites as a kid.
The sweeping eye that goes back and forth. Later recreated in the eye of KITT in Knight Rider as a homage to the Cylons.GoldCylon1 said:
I have a near complete centurion with a metal mouth grill and the original metal skirt, Just missing the original gloves and boots
Ok you mean Glen Larson. I thought maybe someone like Ken Larson designed a new scanner. I never heard named Larson before is why I asked.Kerr Avon said:

Sleepless... I would love to see the mouth grill, I've only seen the vacuformed ones... would you consider posting a couple photos of your centurion stuff? Please?
