Attention All New Members Or ANY Others Who Do Not Yet Have Battlestar Galactica ensembles!  It’s more fun to suit-up, but you don’t have to.  Halloween and Galacticon 3 are not far off though, so you might consider some of the following sources that I have found for uniforms, props, etc. for Battlestar Galactica, for both the original and re-imagined versions.  (Also better to suit-up at Galacticon 3 for pics with the stars).

(Remember also that as funds can be a consideration, just visiting the local sporting goods stores can get you a good uniform for the re-imagined series, really cheap! Just get a black or chocolate brown muscle shirt, a grey T-shirt, some green BDU looking pants, and some appropriate military looking hiking boots, and you’re ready to blast some toasters!)

For any interested in uniforms from the Original or Re-imagined versions, you can get them here:

FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES:

For the BEST quality uniforms made to original specs, you can contact:

slawrencepiscean@hotmail.com  This guy custom makes them, working on no more than three at a time.  He can make uniforms for the Galactica or the Pegasus, or what ever you want.  If you want QUALITY, this is the guy to contact. I'm getting one made.

For less expensive but still great looking uniforms and props from the original series, go here:  http://www.battlestargalactica.org  I really like my uniform and wish I could wear it daily at work. The material's thinner, so it's better suited for Summer or warmer climates.  Looks great!

FOR THE RE-IMAGINED SERIES:

For a really good Flight Suit go here:

http://cosplaystation.ca/commission148-new.html It's a great suit, but really holds in the heat.

For a regular Blue Officer's Uniform go here:

http://cosplaystation.ca/commision149-new.thml (Notice that this is a regular officer's uniform, not the Commanders with the red trim)

For a Commander's Blue Uniform go here:

http://cosplaystation.ca/commission149.html This has the red trim, and I really like mine.  Like my uniform from the original BSG series, I wish I could get away with wearing it every day at work.

For the Number Six Red Dress go here:

http://cosplaystation.ca/commission306.html Ahem...I'm a guy, so I don't have one of these.

For Green BDU's from the re-imagined series you can go here:

http://www.anovos.com/battlestar-galactica/green-bdu/

They also offer Duty Blues here:

http://www.anovos.com/battlestar-galactica/duty-blues/

Now, suit up and let's blast some toasters...and every thing else in the frakin' kitchen!  So say we all...me, my self, and I!

I hope this is help to any interested, and that y’all have lots of fun…and it’s much more fun if you can suit up like your favorite Battlestar Galactica characters.  Looks great for pics on this site and your Face Book, scrap book, etc. as well! 

 

Best wishes and good hunting! So say we all!

A special note to all new members of the Battlestar Fan Club:

 

Please check out the information on this site pertaining to GALACTICON 3!  This is an opportunity of a life time to meet the stars from both the original series and the re-imagined version of Battlestar Galactica.  There is still time to get tickets, room, board, etc.  It is RARE that you will ever get all of these stars meeting in one single location! 

 

Also, if you are interested in “suiting up” for Galacticon 3, or any other Battlestar Galactica events, I welcome you to click onto my page and look at past links I posted regarding Battlestar Galactica uniforms, ensambles, with props, etc.  You do NOT have to suit-up for Galacticon 3 or any other events, but if you are into that sort of thing it’s lots of fun.

 

Also, the Battlestar Fan Club is a fun way to meet new people with a common interest and make friends, as well as share your own ideas, links, opinions, etc. regarding all things Battlestar.  Please post all you like on the blog posts, discussion forums, etc.  There are many ways to participate in the Battlestar Fan Club, and it really is more fun if you get actively involved. 

 

I invite you to join us on the Battlestar Atlantia, or any of the other Battlestars in the club, or if you get together with enough members, start your own Battlestar.  I especially invite you to check out the Engineering section on the Battlestar Atlantia, since I have posted information on most every type of ship, weapon system, you name it, from both versions of Battlestar Galactica.  It’s everything practical and tactical, and great information for those who really like to get into the technical stuff.

 

Most importantly, enjoy the site, the club, new friends, and all things Battlestar Galactica.  So say we ALL!

 

Sincerely,

 

John David Feagin

To all Colonials!

Fellow Colonials,

Greetings to all on this fine October day!

First of all I would like to extend a big thank you to both Richard Hatch & Daniel Allan in regards to the Battlestar Galactica Hero award.

That was a nice surprise (and something I would have NEVER done for myself)...I think anyone that knows me is aware that I'm all about praising others before myself.

I do truly appreciate it though...it is a high honor...thank you Richard & thank you Dan!

I also want to bring all of you tech minded individuals so news...the good people behind BattlestarGalactica.com are currently offereing positions to those skilled in php programming among others, here is the notice below:

 

Web Company GSP NETWORK looking for PHP programmers for couple hours a week to work on this from home for busy office environment. Start Immediately . Need to know Eccomerce, Server administration, Authorize net gateways and be people friendly to deal with customers. Please send resume and type of work refrences to resumes@gspnetwork.com for interviews.
 
 
If you have interest plese respond to the address provided...GSP NETWORK is a trusted friend of the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club.
I also wanted to give props & throw out an invitiation to all to join the group The Pyramid Project on the site...it has always been a pet project that I have been stewing over for quite a while and finally found the right forum for it.
This is, like everything on the site an interactive forum dedicated to the premise of mythology...how this ties into BSG in a lot of ways and also stands alone in others...I welcome original stories, essays, poems....videos, music et al that has a theme of mythology tied to it.
I think in some way or another with all of BSG being heavily laden WITH mythology that most roads lead back to it anyway.
Again, thank you Richard & Dan...and Cherry Oclima!
Thank you all...
So Say We All!

Here is how to carve faces on pumpkins with a decent picture:

(You can also use pictures of battlestars, vipers, raptors, basestars, logos for Battlestar Galactica or the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club, or your own personal Battlestar, logo, insignia,  etc.)

(Mostly you just shave off the light colored stuff so the light will show through)

We've had a lot of people join the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club since we last posted anything from Chris Morgan & the good people over at Wildlife Media.

By way of explanation about we all found each other...Chris Morgan is a BEAR biologist & he began work on an epic film called 'Beartrek"...understand that Chris is also a big fan of Battlestar Galactica...and as it so happened he & his producer on the film contacted Bear McCreary about lending some music to the effort...which Bear happily did.

Wildlife Media also wanted to reach out to a really good Battlestar Galactica group to talk about this very obvious connection between Battlestar & Bears...so Bear referred them over to me....and it was a fact that I immediately loved these folks & strongly support their efforts....oh yes, the music is VERY cool of course, but the fact that they do so much to support, nuture & preserve the invaluable wildlife on our planet is the main theme....but of course great music & video sure doesn't hurt at all!

Here is a a message from Chris Morgan:

Siberian Tiger Quest
premieres Wednesday, October 10

Dear Friends,

I hope this finds you well! I think you are going to enjoy this one - our new show from 'PBS Nature' premieres this Wednesday (October 10th, 8pm), called 'Siberian Tiger Quest'. This was an incredible experience for me personally - I've dreamed of searching for tigers in the forests of Russia since I was a kid. We did it in a very special way - for several weeks in March we joined Sooyong Park, a Korean filmmaker who has dedicated so much to finding and filming tigers in the wild - no small feat as you'll see in the film! It was wonderful to work with film producer Mike Birkhead and his team on this show.

There are just 400 Siberian tigers left in the wild - in an area the size of my home state of Washington. They need all the help they can get - PLEASE spread the word about this show as one small step in that direction. I've also pasted a short blurb below from PBS Nature. You can also preview a clip of the show and read more on the PBS website, including behind the scenes photos and stories, and links to tiger conservation efforts:  http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/siberian-tiger-quest/preview/7799/. The preview clip can also be found on YouTube here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtNl3hbtVJU.

I hope you can tune in, and do let us know what you think!

Best wishes,

Chris

I'm sure there were some out there who watched the debate tonight...you have heard from Obama....you have heard from Romney...you will hear from them again...& you will hear from Ryan & Biden...some people vote Republican, some people vote Democrat...but have you looked at voting Battlestar?

Our hats are in the ring!

 

If elected I pledge to appoint Richard Hatch Secretary of State, Tricia Helfer secretary of Lingerie & I will ask that Mary McDonnell play me in the movie adaptation...hey they did it with Starbuck so why the frak not?

 

A Viper in every garage, a Daggit in every pot!

 

A peace conference with the Cylons...yes, I will take the fleet to a place that they choose and make sure I take every ship with me, leaving the Colonies defenseless AND power down all their defense systems to appear non-threatening to our Cylon friends!....ok, scratch all that....

 

I will add Edward James Olmos to Mt. Rushmore!

 

Ambrosia will become the national drink!

 

Stu Phillips & Bear McCreary will be commissioned to write a new national anthem based on the Nightrider theme!

 

I will let James Callis walk around the Pentagon and take as many pictures as he wants of super secret stuff and give all the security codes to Tricia Helfer (it's ok, she'll be Secretary of Lingerie anyway, so she'll give them back!)...

 

I will enforce a no-mushie ban in public eateries!

 

Last but not least, I will allow Noah Hathaway to confiscate all existing copies of Neverending Story & re-sell them at $50 a pop!

 

Vote Battlestar Galactica!

 

So Say We All!

Join The Raven Colonial Marines

12578019271?profile=original

 

Colonials,

 

Here is what Captain Enforcer ( Raven Colonial Marine OIC) have to say about what it means being a Raven Colonial Marine:

 ****************************************************************************************************************************************

 

What is it like to be a Marine aboard the Raven you ask? I believe the General Orders that all new Marine Recruits have to know and memorize will tell it all.

-To take charge of this post and all BFC property in view

-To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing.

-To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.

-To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse than my own. IE: in the event of a COMM breakdown, all orders must be yelled or verbally given to the next sentry no matter the distance from the next post and so on...until the entire unit knows the same order issued.

-To quit my post only when properly relieved.

-To receive, obey and pass on to the sentry who relieves me all orders from the Executive Officer, Detachment commander, and officers, both commissioned and non-commissioned, of the guard only.

-To talk to no one except in the line of duty.

-To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder.

-To call the MarDet Commander or the XO in any case not covered by instructions.

-To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased.

-To be especially watchful at all times, especially wartime, and to challenge all persons on or near my post and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.

If you have what it takes to be the elite of the elites, then there is only one place to join. JOIN THE RAVEN COLONIAL MARINES here at Battlestar Galactica Fan Club !!! Check us out on the Raven website:
