I'm making a Battlestar Galactica Colonial Warrior uniform. I'm putting the basics together first.
However, I need the correct jacket buckles. They are also called, large metal tuck locks.
The stink of it is that after all these years, they no longer manufacture them.
Chris Pappas is sold out. MARCO? no. Katarra? No. Many of my other scifi shop haunts
dont have them, either. This has been a long search. If I can't find them, I may to find another
option.
I got got the correct braid for my tans and I have military grade gold lace. I just got my holster belt rig. I got the AF blue
with brass hardware from the Glendale Parade Store.
So many people are doing a Galactica impression. I am going for Battlestar Pegasus. I bought 2 authentic vintage Korean War era SCARWAF
patches. One is for my jacket and the other is for my tunic. I also bought 2 pairs of miniature Command Ashore pins for the collar designation.
I also bought a full size Command Ashore pin that I will make into an award pin like Commander Cain (Lloyd Bridges) wore.
was thinking of doing Acropolis or the "Lost Warrior" Battlestar with the military Medical Unit patch, but I have no reference
on the collar devices for that Battlestar. I am also not sure what the name of the "Lost Warrior" Battlestar is. I think it could be
the Olympia.
Anyways, I am going for the Pegasus Silver Spar Squadron uniform. I know it will not get made in a day, but the journey
should be fun. I got a good start.
