*FREE* Original BSG colonial warrior patterns

[TKBIG]

Hey guys,
I've been working on something for a long time and have now finished it and want to make the costume patterns available for anyone wanting to do it themselves----*FREE*.
What suggestions do you all know of that I can put a clothing pattern on, watermark it and then make it available for free download. I know that these patterns will hit ebay before too long so that is why I'm posting here so you guys will know where they originally came from and can alert me it it happens.

I've looked at some of the CAD programs but I need something that is inexpensive (read free or cheap) to compile this pattern into that format.

I'm offering these patterns free.
They will be located on the BLACKSTAR SQUADRON boards.
Blackstar Squadron - Login
after I have compiled them.

That is totally rad. Have you tried Google Sketchup? The basic version is free, but you can only import a few file types. What format are you using?

Thank you for the idea. I'm looking for a file format to put them in.
I need a 2D format which is making me lean toward just using a JPG image and watermark it. That way 99% of the folks can print it out to the size they wish.

Have you looked into something like Inkscape? I haven't used it, but it's an open source vector drawing program. There are plant of freeware CAD programs out there too.

Down the road a bit I'll have too. My wife wants to be a cylon!
Maybe I should be worried! :lol

That's very cool. I'd love to put together one of those costumes. I have no sewing skills, but I know someone who does.

Nah, as long Cylons don't look like us you've got nothing to fear, right? (Nice costume!)

 

[Havok69]

Nice work! Looking forward to seeing the patterns. Make sure to take into perspective a complete n00b might be sewing it. (Like myself!)

Try over at byyourcommand.net, I'm not sure, but they might have the cylon undersuit patterns. The Cylon Empire over on those forums are the sister group to Blackstar Squadron.
