Gallery Quest

The original Battlestar Galactica has always been a favorite sci-fi series; this was one of my very first costumes/cosplays, and I still wear it to this day. Everything on this costume is hand-made. The uniform is constructed of beige velour with the trademark black-and-gold check trim--not being able to find the correct trim at the time, I created it myself using metallic thread on black bias tape with one of the decorative stitches on my sewing machine. I also built the gunbelt/holster and blaster, as well as the boot covers to give the appearance of the buckled combat boots. Lastly, I purchased an original Galactica jacket from Starlog (not pictured here), although I had to dye it from its original gray-green to the correct mocha-brown color.
