3D printing of props

Posted by Kevin Spencer on August 16, 2017 at 1:49pm in Battlestar Galactica Costumes and Uniforms
Hello all, I am just putting together my first classic viper pilot uniform and I am looking for advice. Here in the U.K. It is very difficult to find replica props, especially the helmet and blaster. Ordering from the U.S. is difficult as customs look badly on replica firearms, whatever the intended use. I am used to building my own items, but was wondering if 3D printed items are a good base to start with, and where I can find the downloads. I have attached a photo of the newly finished Viper Fighter to be displayed at a uk convention I go to every year, so really want to get my costume ready for December. Many thanks guys

    the Helmets and blaster look great i have the files from thingiverse also just do not have a 3d printer to print them on the only 3d printing i can do is at a local library and can only print with in a 2 hour window of time.
