Johnyfl,
Mnay thanks for the quick reply and thank you again for posting your pictures. Did you ever find/use a holster for your PPG?
Best regards

Hi, Here are the pictures I promised. I didn't try to find a holster as I wanted it mainly as a display piece. The pictures are of the aluminum Hero PPG which actually came as a kit. I also have an original stunt resin PPG and another slightly oversized resin PPG which I had signed by Walter Koenig (Mr Bester) last picture. Hope these help.

Johnnyfl,
Those are some fantastic shots, thank you very much for them. I do also love you stand you have, did you make those yourself?
I have two resin PPG's, one rough one for messing around and one done up with TLC for display. When Walter Koeing was here for your Comic Expo I dithered a bit about what to get him to sign for me. I settled on a PSI Corps badge. The next summer Patricia Tallman was here for HorrorCon so I got her autograph right below Mr. Koenig's.
As for the holster, I just had to so I could get shots like this -

Hi, Yes I made the display stand although the plaque came with the PPG. Great photo by the way and great costumes. I met Claudia Christian, Peter Jurasik and Joe Straczynski at a Babcom in Birmingham UK many years ago but unfortunately didn't get any photos (pre-phone cameras!!!!!) but they were all great to talk to. My wife and I spoke with Peter for quite a long time while he was having his Londo make up put on by Greg Huff (I think that's right), as he was going to do his talk in character, everyone else had gone back into the area for another talk so we had him to ourselves. Peter was a really nice and friendly guy. Its always great when you meet someone whose work you admire and they turn out to be great people. Chris Judge from Stargate is the same, but have met some who just seem put out to meet you. Anyway thanks for the interest in my PPG, cheers :thumbsup

Sean, I have been following this on evilbay. Is that the PPG body you mentioned in the upper center?

No. that's not a metal body. I bought other parts from Nicksdad. I need a metal body..
I had asked him about this almost a year ago and he
said NOWAY IN HELL would he do it again'
as he lost allot of money...
I think if we could find the " RIGHT " guy to try again
and do a GROUP BUY kinda' thing it might work ?
I know Kenny form KENNY'S CUSTOM PROPS does
OUTSTANDING metal work, he could probably do it !
Hi, Thanks for that, I knew it was Huff but could not remember his first name, I hadn't checked the B5 credits recently and it was 20 years ago, but he was another really nice guy!

Eyes Only,
I am so damned jealous right now. Got two quick questions if I may. 1 - is the buckle on the bottom of the jacket also screen used? 2 - Would it be possible to get the width and height of the command badge on your left arm? I swear the ones offered online are too small.
My uniform isn't screen used nor are any of the badges, buckles, rank bar or epaulette parts. I made my own ES badge, rank bar and buckle and cast them. The collar piece and the epaulette pips are cut from brass stock. I chose the season 1 Garabaldi for my costume. The pictures are from the 2015 Calgary Comic Expo.
