Cylon Centurion Moebius Models 1:6

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

Cylon Centurion Moebius Models 1:6

Post by SMD70 »

Here is my take on the Moebius Cylon Centurion, finished in Alcad II Chrome & Polished Aluminium along with various shades of gunmetal, black and various other Tamiya acrylics and a oil wash.

I wasn't keen on the pose so I altered him slightly by modifying the neck so I could pose his head looking down and towards his left aiming arm, also I moved his right arm slightly so he was a bit less John Travolta/ Pulp fiction dance scenes.

As always constructive criticism welcome.

And while I'm on with Battlestar models here is the almost finished Galactica. I'll post more once I get round to finishing it off...

That's a great piece of work.
Personally, though, I prefer the old Cylons......

Nice finish. It was only when you made mention of John Travolta that I started to see him doing the twist.

A very nicely done model, Sir.

Is it just me, or can any one else see it as a member of the Knights Templar? :ha:
I wish, that I knew what was doing!
