My Frakking Awesome Halloween Costume!

[ligerwolf]

Do you mind telling me where you were able to get your dog tags? ^_^

Thanks!

[peaceandskittles]

@ligerwolf I got my dog tags on ebay last year, but I think they also had some on Amazon and a couple online sci-fi stores. However, I just checked and the price has definitely gone up since they stopped making them. Are you definitely looking for Starbuck? It seems those are in short supply...

[ligerwolf]

@peaceandskittles Apollo, or Starbuck but yeah, it is REALLY hard to find, most of them only come with dvd sets, or are on back order. T.T

poopiieeeeeeee

[peaceandskittles]

@ligerwolf I posted a link to your profile that says it has some Starbuck dog tags for $12. I don't know if it's still good, but let me know if it works.

[ShodanMark]

That IS frakkin awesome! Nearly got a BSG costume finished myself.

[peaceandskittles]

@ShodanMark Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with it. Who are you portraying in your costume?

[ShodanMark]

@peaceandskittles Just a generic character. I've got the undershirts like you have and I'm making the green BDU's at the moment. Hoping to be ready for a con in a few weeks!

[peaceandskittles]

@ShodanMark That's cool! What con are you going to?

[ShodanMark]

@peaceandskittles MCM Expo in London. Seeing the other comments here, I recommend Galron Manufacturing (google them) for custom BSG dog tags!

[GhostToasterr]

Nice ! But the cigar was frakkin' huge !

I really need to say : you're so cute :D

And if you want to know, the gun they use in BSG does really exist, it's a FN Five-SeveN with a special grenade launcher mounted under its barrell ;)

[peaceandskittles]

Aww, you're so sweet!! The cigar was probably for crazy old business tycoons. Nice work on the BSG gun thing, too!!

[nhelm83]

sweet costume! Did you have a real cigar there?

[peaceandskittles]

Thanks so much!! I did have a real cigar. It was freakishly giant, but apparently that's how they come. :)

[MyraLaRyn]

You got it down pretty well!

[peaceandskittles]

Thank you!! I did a lot of "research" -i.e. watching the show... :)

[MyraLaRyn]

I hear you, total BSG fan myself. :D

[peaceandskittles]

Awesome! It was the best show!!!  :)

[kateesackhoffdotcom]

thanks for entering - the costume looks great! Katee will be picking a winner this coming week. Good luck!

-Admin / Justin

[peaceandskittles]

Thanks so much, Justin!! Can't wait to see who wins!! Hurray for Starbuck and Katee Sackhoff! :)

[BattlestarSingapur]

well,its good to see an other BSG fan

in my republic arent so many fans

[peaceandskittles]

Oh, I definitely LOVE BSG, and so do a lot of my friends. Sad that you don't have anyone to share it with, though. You can always express your love of BSG with me!

[esotericagenda]

I love it!!! The cigar is the perfect touch! :P

[peaceandskittles]

Thank you!! I'm really happy with how it came together.  :)

[KwNJn1]

thats a big cigar.

[peaceandskittles]

Lol!! Yeah, let's not do a Freudian analysis on that... I don't actually smoke so I just grabbed a random one at the store. :)

[BattlestarSingapur]

hey its really good

and...so say we all ;)

[peaceandskittles]

So say we all!! Thanks!!

[suvedisa]

Sweet costume! I think it out does my balloon boy costume (box and mylar balloon). BSG was awesome. I'm sad it's over, but at least we have Caprica coming out soon. Awesome video!

[peaceandskittles]

Aww, thank you!! I had a lot of fun making my costume. I can't wait for Caprica, although I'm going to miss the characters that I've come to love. Have fun as balloon boy!
