We have 3D printers, and have used them to master some parts, but for the vacuum metallizing process we have specific materials and gloss smooth surfaces required to achieve this level of reflectivity. 3D printers are definitely a useful tool in the arsenal, but can't replace these base materials, at least yet.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s clear that the Witchblade universe evokes strong opinions, and it’s completely valid to hold the original comic in such high regard. The comic’s artistry and storytelling have undoubtedly set a high standard, and many feel that adaptations don’t always capture the essence that made the original work so compelling. When it comes to props and craftsmanship, they exist within a unique space. These pieces often embody the hard work, dedication, and creativity of the artists who bring them to life, regardless of the source material. While the TV show’s interpretation might not resonate with everyone, the care and skill that go into crafting props-like this gauntlet-are a testament to the talent within the industry. In the broader scope of creative work, the sum of all parts can sometimes lead to mixed results, and that’s part of what makes the creative industry so challenging and interesting. Every adaptation, whether loved or critiqued, is an exploration and a tribute to the original material. Creators and artisans pour their passion into their work, striving to honour the essence of the source material, even if the final product doesn’t always meet everyone’s expectations. This dedication to craftsmanship is what keeps the creative world thriving, constantly evolving, and open to new interpretations. Even when a particular adaptation doesn’t hit the mark for some, it’s still a valuable part of the ongoing dialogue between creators and fans.

@@SomethingNowhereMan thank you, yes, a very early prank show segment that has had many follow it.

Thanks for your interest. I have a full wraith PDF catalogue that I can share if you write to me scott@kropserkel.com . Finished gauntlets (WK or NAZ) are $295US/pair on leather gauntlet gloves, or $125US for the kit. Sabatons are $150US finished, or $75US for the kit. We also make other armoured parts (greaves, cuisses) and package pricing on sets.

Thank you! And, YES, let us see how you do in that endeavour. We also offer 'alibis' with our shipments if that helps.

Thank you, sir! I hope to be of service one day, and appreciate the interest in these projects, that's the fuel I need to keep rolling.

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I'll do a demo of the unit. I had initially had that segment shot in this tour, but to showcase the audio properly, the isolation of the mic and the speaker is imperative. This will be the essence of the demo video, now we're cooking. Thanks.

Thank you! Let me know if there is ever anything you'd specifically like to see, if outside of my procured subject matter.

@markvincsnt3973 do you hsv cylon helmet yoursekf

Right!? It is my understanding that the original intention of the elongated toe in the sabatons was to keep their feet in the stirrups, giving them the ability to lose the downward force without 'unthreading' the needle. Agreed that this didn't translate well to locomotion on food once dismounted!

Ha! Not Shaq on these, but they would probably fit him!

I get a lot of eye rolling at home. Thanks for the warm validation.

Great question, and a keen eye, but there are considerations given the format you're viewing the video. The original 78 Cylon helmets used an array of incandescent bulbs, which took up the entire indented eye slot, created tortuous heat, and would run for 20 minutes before needing to recharge a heavy camera belt battery that had to be incorporated into the costume design to help conceal them. On the nostalgic side, the eye sweep incandescent bulbs make is very fluid, and smooth as one bulb becomes bright in the sweep, another slowly fades behind it. This effect was further translated by the 35mm film format they used to shoot the original show. Our eye unit is a string of LEDs and a thick diffusion plate in order to help blend the digital sweep. Aided by a faster running sweep pattern, the movement becomes less digital. There are also 4 programs that run on this digital eye unit, unlike the original arrays, using a programmable chip one of the programs is the Red Eye targeting mode.

You are not alone! I would be happy to set you up. If you would like to write to me scott@kropserkel.com, I can provide you with one of our PDF catalogs that covers the details. Lots of people would like to make their childhood dreams come true, and these do tick a box for those in this range where BSG icons become tangible

Yes! Lots of new things coming, including stunt thermoplastic Nazgul cuisses.

@@lekk that would be awesome 🥰

Horror is a 365, 24/7 sentiment to be embraced!

Sorry for the low res, old video quality disabling the identification of items in the video. I found a bagged bologna sandwich, a good find, but otherwise useless to a Cylon.

Thanks for your interest! A standard finished helmet with the electronic programmable sweeping our unit is US$495, and a B grade one with more significant surface imperfections beyond our standard tolerances, 395 US$. We also made these in kit format. if you would like one of our PDF catalogues, you can write to me at scott@kropserkel.com for one.

Thanks so much! Yes, we’ve been at this for a long while now, incorporating after a few years as a hobby, in ‘97. I recommend taking the first step on a small, achievable project and those first steps will break down that wall. Do it, you’ll be happy you did.

Love it. I have the helmet and eye kit. My eye warbler sound is shot. Didn’t know you had a kit for both the eye effect and the voice ! Where can I get one ! Awesome

Loved this! Now, I'm prompted to get introspective as to why I'm doing this. You may have hit pretty close to the mark on this. Thanks for your wit, you've given me hope!

@@lekk “In his weakened state, it was possible that Kropserkel did not even foresee the ominous implications of his work. For if he succeeded in bringing life back to the hulking Cylon form, what would be the massive centurion’s first act? He was born for no other purpose; to destroy humans. His first act, therefore, would quite probably be to kill Kropserkel.”

write to us info@kropserkel.com for our PDF catalogue, which includes finished and kit format versions of this piece, and accessories.

Fitting, and glorious! I love this band as much today as I did then. Thanks!

Right! There was also a distorted one in Beverly Hills Cop 2 (I believe), and more recently, in Affleck's film Argo (we made those).

@@lekk AWESOME . GREAT JOB. Vacuum formed head in two parts ? They are a really great looking .

Thank you, yes, this is how the originals were done as well. The materials are better these days than they were in the seventies, and we now have LEDs for lights, a huge advantage. @@davidz2016

Thank you!@@davidz2016 Yes, the helmet is vacuum formed and metallized ABS in two halves, like the originals, and I use a one piece LED array mount/mouth grille casting for the front details. Thanks again!

Hello! Incredible how keystrokes don’t age, unlike initials carved on a tree trunk. Great to hear from you!

Yes! We ship to the UK frequently. You can email info@kropserkel.com for our PDF catalogue and a shipping quote based on what you are wanting and where in the UK it would need to go. The originals also ran hot in the helmet for those bulbs, and only for 20 minutes on their belt camera battery pack.
