Hey Guys,
Different Michael than that who posted earlier.

My explanation for the similiar style of Cylon heads was as follows:

The 13th colony on earth who developed AI were nuked out. We know the ‘final five’ resurrected as cylons on a ship placed in orbit, they then went out to seek the 12 colonies.

It stands to reason that they would have schematics and so forth of the AI created on earth.

We also know that by the time they got to the 12 colonies that the Cylons had already created an uprising and we find out that they made a treaty with them to stop the war.

We know they made Cavil and he helped create the other Cylons. Cavil suffocated the ‘final five’ and blocked their memories. I simply reckon that the Cylons got the earth Centurion design off the ‘final five’, be it either willingly or unwillingly and made their own version of them that looked similiar.

Pierre, this is absolutely awesome stuff. I am working on something, and would like to get into contact with you. If you could shoot me an email, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks for all your wonderful Cylons!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Cylon head we get to see on Earth-1 is quite different from the model published here: they differ mainly on the “moustaches” around the mounth-vent; also the mouth-vent on the Earth-1 head is more prominent than the model’s. Maybe this model was slightly modified before filming? If this is the case, could you publish the model of the Earth-1 head?
Thanks.

Seriously: this should be presented to some companies making replicas.

We know that we can have Darth Vader, Predator helmet.

But what I like with this one, except the design which I like a lot, is the mystery. The mystery about those cylon robots we do not know so much. And That is the point (on the opposite, for instance, Darth Vader, we him too well now.)

Qfx Mecaniks should get this licence

@Oscar… I wrote a very immature comment expressing disagreement with your views which is now being edited by mojo. The gist of what I said was: “you’re someone I see as being inferior to myself; clearly my testicles are far larger than yours and I suggest you try and behave more like an adult.”

[an interesting suggestion from someone who calls himself "suckitandsee." I wonder how many other guys he's convinced to suck it for him? - mojo]

It would be a must to have this helmet done in Replica;

MUST buy! I love that design.

@ Oscar
Hey Oscar, don’t be such a grouch! It’s just a show.. We all enjoyed it, and we all hated the ending. Deal with it like the rest of us.

Hey, man.
Keep up the good work and let us know when
you’ve completed building that Earth Cylon Centurion.
I was personally impressed when you made that helmet
using Darth Vader as a reference.
Maybe you could use that Vader-Earth Centurion helmet
to be a similiar – “Earth Command Centurion”-type
or something.
Anyways, keep up the good work and good luck.
