I was working on a Battlestar Galactica video project (now on hold at the best and dead at the worst) whose intro depicted three 5th Mellinium Cylon centurions. These were at a timeframe 1000+ years prior to the 1978 series. The best basis for this design seemed to be Ralph McQuarrie's original concept painting showing the Cylon warriors bringing Baltar in front of the Imperious leader. I combined that rough design with certain elements of ancient Greek armor. To show a less developed state, I opted for mechanical arms and legs. That ended up making it look a lot like a hybird with Ron Moore's mechanical Cylons in the recent miniseries, although that wasn't my intention.
I've not yet textured this thing, nor have I boned it. For me, that's the challenge since I've never boned a model. Nor do I have any experience with that sort of animatiion. So, this is a learning experience for me. I welcome any help and guidiance.
