Thank you for your warm welcome into the BSG FanClub! I am a classic Battlestar fan. They very first costume I ever wanted to make was a Colonial Warrior when I was 9 years old and watching the show - sometimes in black and white on our extra TV.
Now I am finally getting around to working on a Colonial Warrior outfit. The main things I amnow looking for are the closures to the outer jacket (brass), insignia from the original series, holster and blaster. If anyone has any ideas where I can get these (especially the closures) please send me links!
Thank so much! Right now I may just be a citizen, but soon I will be a Warrior!

Hi Carol, how's the hunt for the costume coming? Met two fellows at Space City Con Galveston that are old school prop makers. They do beautiful finished weapons at good prices. Unfortunately, no web site, but phone numbers and an email. If you want,
D&L Fantasy Arms, LLC

325-660-8755; 325-513-9486
I can email them for you and message the results. LMK. Regards, Paul
Carol, if you join one of the "Groups" listed under that tab, be it Squadron, support department, Marine Detachment or others, the Group Members are the best source. One of the most active original series Warrior costuming Groups is the "Black Star Squadron", visible in many of the Fan Club photos. Direct contact with those Members might bring the information you want. They also have Cylons. Regards, Paul
Hi Carol,
Again, welcome, and in answer to your question we have a great member that provides uniform/costume data to new Members. He is out of pocket but allow me to provide one of his many guidelines on the subject copied from another new Member:

Will send more later. I have a lot of luck on price with Ebay, although you have to be careful that some sellers offer low or unacceptable quality items.
