Blood for the Baron!

always used to use acrylics but for my last few i have used enamel.
i used tamiya metal & plastic primerspray, then sprayed the whole thing dull red.

I have a spare Black Major or two Ross. I'll stick one in with those other chaps when they arrive. Have you already killed your current one, so need a good one, or will a tattier one to customise do?

just split mine...... if you send me a couple i'll make you a trooper too if you want?

Cool! I'll send a decent one then as a keeper and a few rougher ones for repaints etc.

halfway through my palitoy cobra trooper, seems to be going o but the blue spary i got is so damn glossy!

ok, think i just solved that!

I like this fella! Nice work on the bullet belt too. Its nice to see something different yet 'original'

That dodgy one about the Cylon gunslinger/futururistic old west town, & Apollo as Shane ripp-off story?

that episode sounds awesome! what season is it?

i think that episode is from battlestar galactica 1980 the very last episode called the return of starbuck.
actually a brilliant episode and probably the only decent episode from the whole series of "BG1980"
i bought the complete season for this episode alone.

No it was def' the !st series...Apollo had been shot down on the "weastern" planet, & acted the reluctant gun slinger against a Cylon who was being told what to do by a Bully type bigman of the town. I seem to recall tinfoil ten gallon hats as well as lightpipes?

sounds familiar.

you should check out "the return of starbuck" my favourite ep of BSG EVER.

starbuck has been shot down by a cylon raider but both ships crash land on a planet.
starbuck out of sheer boredom rebuilds 1 of the cylons and the 2 build a tense relationship.
wont spoil the ending but if you're a fan of the original series you've gotta see this.
