Hmm.. they used part of the Breathing masks from the Ice planet Ep.
that's a pretty cool helmet! Was it actually screen used tho, I don't remember seeing it?

Dude... what about the thread topic didn't register? LOL! 
Actually it's really kind-of disappointing. As a "slapped together" helmet to meet a crushing deadline, it doesn't even have the style of the original G-80 Daggit helmets. Its just a motorcross bucket with stuff glued on. If you take the bird off of it, it could have been in just about any show... Airwolf, M.A.N.T.I.S., Knight Rider, Salvage 1, you name it.
It doesn't have much to tie it to Galactica... even Gal 80... except that it's tan.
IMO its a little less than impressive. And come to think about it, that's probably why nobody remembers it that much.
I find myself longing for something with just a little more style. Something that looks like, or gives the impression that, SOMEBODY cared about the design stylings of the show.
Its a good find for someone, to be sure, its amazing all the stuff that keeps turning up from the show(s), but its gonna be a VERY bored day when I consider adding a replica to my collection.

Probably not. Gets kinda monotonous, don't it? lol!!

I got to see this close up today. Not only does it have the ubiquitous (and obligatory?) Saturn V nozzles on it, a large chunk of the side pieces are from the equally well used 1/24th scale Harrier kit. And the screen mesh looks darn close to that fabric screen mesh they used on ST:TOS for the wall/desk intercom units.

Well, since this is a Diss thread...
Interresting...
Two r's, one s.
But aside from that, I like the helmet!

Yes, those are castings from the snow mask mold used on the helmet.
