Just a small, fun repaint I did to give myself a Birthday present today.
^_^
Ever since I had repainted one back in December 2011 as a gift, I knew I'd eventually want to do another one for myself. I loved this little bug-eyed critter as a kid. It still holds a very special place in my heart.
Completed 4/29/2013.
Thanks for watching, my friends.](userimages/customs/49500/49374-1.jpg) Ovion V2 |
![[Cylon Hybrid Experimentation Lab] So I had wanted to enter this in the "museum of curiosities" contest, but couldn't finish in time. I figured, I should probably just put the extra hour in, finish it, and post as a normal custom.
So this lab is inspired by the BSG Razor flashbacks as well as Blood & Chrome. During the first Cylon War, the Cylons started using human DNA and parts to try and create humanoid Cylons and Hybrids. This is a representation of what one of those labs would look like. The main table features a Hybrid, while there are numerous human and centurion parts "hanging" around.
Recipe- This was quite the hodge-podge. The walls are from a WWE ring, the table was an iphone box painted silver, the head tubes are pill bottles with extra caps painted silver, and the floor is cardboard painted and drawn on. The human and cylon parts in the background are from the BSG line to show that this is in scale. The hyrbid torso that is hanging is the torso of a cylon centurion, and I molded the](userimages/customs/49000/48983-1.jpg) Cylon Hybrid Experimentation Lab Battlestar Galacticaby Blain3So I had wanted to enter this in the "museum of curiosities" contest, but couldn't finish in time.

It's loosely based on the museums seen aboard the Galactica, and on Caprica throughout the series Battlestar Galactica. This museum features four different sections related to the history of the planet Caprica.
There is the Cylon War exhibit- showing a lifesize cylon centurion, weapons used by the cylons, miniatures of a cylon raider as well as a colonial viper (all with specs and info about the ships). There are also diagrams of a cylon basestar and the internal workings of a centurion, as well as the famous painting of the Cylon War (seen in Adama's quarters in BSG).
Then there is "From Kobol to Caprica"- which features artwork and artifacts thought to have been brought to Caprica from their ancestors planet of Kobol. There is a painting of the prophet Pythia (with a strong resemblance to Roslin), a painting of the 12 Lords of Kobol, the ancient scrolls, a sculpture of Artemis, and the famous Arrow of Apollo.

![[Combat Elite Cylon (Original Concept)] I couldn't decide which of my cylon concepts I liked more, so I decided to put them both up.
This is the C.E.C. centurion (combat elite cylon). Similar to the Heavy Artillery Cylon concept, this centurion features a heavier armor and rifle holsters on each hip. Unlike its four-armed counterpart, it is less bulky, allowing for faster and more agile movement. It's closer in design to the standard centurion, and is designed for ground combat on the colonies. My idea is that these centurions would be the front line during the attack, dozing through the enemy lines and forming an opening for other models to infiltrate (Much like I imagine the purpose for the BSG Razor commanders vs. regular centurions/pilots).
The recipe is similar to my other design. I took a Lost in Space robot apart and spray painted silver. Then took off the legs, arms, and head of a cylon centurion. I reworked the holes for the head, waist, and arms to fit without losing articulation, and attached everything with glue](userimages/customs/48500/48415-1.jpg) Combat Elite Cylon (Original Concept) Battlestar Galacticaby Blain3I couldn't decide which of my cylon concepts I liked more, so I decided to put them both up.

I had this idea that when the cylons attacked the 12 colonies, they would need a well armored/equipped centurion to overthrow Colonial Military bases. My design featured a taller, heavily armored centurion with an extra pair of arms, rifles attached at each hip, a bazooka strapped to its back, and a retractable shoulder launcher (kinda like the Predator).
For the recipe, I was going to sculpt everything from scratch, but was lucky enough to find a robot from the re-imagined Lost in Space. I took it completely apart and spray painted it silver. Then, using hot water, took a cylon centurion apart to keep all articulation. I pieced together the new body using glue, some molding, and a little patience. Then painted details here and there to blend the 2 together. I had a ton of guns in my fodder box, so I made notches in the thigh for the holsters of the 2 rifles, then painted a bazooka and sanded down](userimages/customs/48500/48414-1.jpg) Heavy Artillery Cylon (Original Concept) Battlestar Galacticaby Blain3Another one of my original customs...

![[Caprican Military U-87 Cylon] A request from a fellow realmer....
The military edition of the U-87 Cylon was featured in the finale of Caprica as a commander in the "Battle of the Atlas Arena". Fitted with camouflage armor and ammo clips, this Cylon bears a similar resemblance to the centurions they later become.
I used a DST Cylon Pilot base- cut down the top of the hemet and remolded it. Then completely remolded the chest-plate for show accuracy, as well as the mouth piece. Then I painted the camo effect on the armor with a few different grays, blacks, and a white. Lastly, I hand painted some decals on the chest and shoulders, and added the ammo clips from a cylon commander figure.](userimages/customs/48500/48242-1.jpg) Caprican Military U-87 Cylon Battlestar Galacticaby Blain3A request from a fellow realmer....

I used a Retro Cylon figure, removed pretty much all of it's armor, and went to town re-sculpting everything. I sliced down the head and repainted, then took off the chest plate and put a layer of clay over it, and went in with small tools to carve in all the little details. Glued the chest plate back on and then painted everything with 2 different blacks, 3 different grays/silvers, and a gold.

Thought I'd have a little fun with that. So this is my original concept for a Domestic Cylon, something we only caught a glimpse of in the finale of Caprica.

I swapped the head of a Samantha Carter SGA figure for Starbuck's, then repainted the body. I also hand painted the C-Bucks patch on her arm. For the Arrow of Apollo stand accessory, I cut down the arm of an Undertaker wrestler figure and painted it pewter grey, then dry brushed with white, silver, and black to give a stone look.

Looking at the prototype pictures on their site, the centurion released was very dark grey and missing a lot of it's black trim. Then when I purchased the battledamaged 2-pack, it looked like the only thing they were fighting was mud.
So with the battledamaged cylon, I did a full repaint with chrome spray paint, and then dry brushed the black trim. I then went in with a glossy black for the "oil" effect, gave the famous red eye, and dry brushed some bullet holes/damaged spots. I also felt he could be a little more "battledamaged" so ripped off one arm and burned the end for effect.
For the regular centurion I followed the same steps with the chrome spraypaint, but then used the gloss black for all the trimming. i also noticed that the figures eye lens was entirely too small, so made that wider befo](userimages/customs/47500/47339-1.jpg) Cylon (2 Repaints) Battlestar Galacticaby Blain3So, as much as I LOVE the Battlestar Galactica line by Diamondselect- and as detailed as their Cylon centurions are- I just felt like they fell short ...2 comments |
