Revell 1/6 Cylon Centurian![]() The Cylons are a race of sensitive robots with a human-like form. They were created by the inhabitants of the 12 colonies, some 60 years before the Second Cylon War, which ended with the collapse of the 12 colonies. Over the course of decades delicate forms have developed out of the original bulky shapes, originally planned as soldiers. The purely mechanical Cylons are designated Centurions according to their original military role. The deadly and very efficient Centurions form the backbone of infantry units in the Cylon army. They are over six feet tall and have a ruby-red optical scanner instead of eyes, which is externally discernible as a running light. Despite their massive metal construction their appearance is still humanoid: they have a head, two arms, a torso and two legs. They are however able to unfold their hands to expose a built-in weapons system with which they can fire high velocity projectiles with great penetrating power. Their robust metal exterior can withstand small arms fire, only explosive projectiles are able to incapacitate or even destroy them. ![]() The Kit This is a re-release of the 2012 Mobieus kit that was originally intended as a short run kit, therefore the moulds are already showing some flash. Revell have over tyhe last couple of years re-released a few of the Battlestar Galactica range from Mobieus that have coincided with the release of the modern series’s. Many of these have been made into excellent models and even a few ‘Whif’s. Our very one Madmonk has produced lighting kits for them (these are available through Madmonk and Tirydium Models http://www.freewebstore.org/Tirydium-Models/index.aspx?pageid=2467893&clear=1&preview=1 ) there is potential to do the same with this kit but would be far more fiddly - Kit also suitable for beginners - Multi-part head - Typical visor - Multi-part legs with protective armour - Right arm with a retracted, large-calibre weapon in the forearm cladding - Left arm with bent wrist and extended, heavy calibre weapon - Diverse and separate sections of the limbs - Separate and delicately crafted fingers - Large torso elements with separate back and chest plates - Large area display panel ![]() The instructions.... These are the normal Revell booklet, the Paints are in Revell callouts only and some require mixing ![]() The Plastic... The grey is very soft and flexible and shows a fair amount of flash ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Conclusion This is another very welcome re-release from Revell and will be on sale at a much reduced price compared to the Mobieus kits an essential for both the modeller and scifi fan alike Revell model kits are available from all good toy and model retailers.

Not cup of tea admittedly..., but it does look rather smart for a figure.

You have poor taste TC! I want to get at least 2 of these. One to be as from the series and the other as a WHIF in MTP camouflage. That reminds me, I really must sort out swapping in my CS95s for MTP. I must be the only guy left in the armed forces who still has CS95s
