CLASSIC IMAGE: FOR YOUR COLLECTION...

The clothes maketh the Colonial Warrior, as seen here with one of the original partial costumes and distinctive pilot helmets from the original series, created by the talented Jean-Pierre Dorleac, that was sold a few years back by the ever-hungry-for- product Prop Store auctions company. I'm sure it's in a dedicated collector's home somewhere being very well looked after.

CLASSIC IMAGE: PAST AND FUTURE HEAD GEAR!

Gorgeous fan replica helmet.

Charting an altogether different look for space-faring fighter aces seen in science fiction TV, yet still keeping visual referencing motifs for generic audiences to understand, the design of the Colonial Viper pilot flight helmets proved a stunning achievement for the original series by the acclaimed and versatile Universal Studios costume designer Jean-Pierre Dorleac, what with their deliberate Egyptian-esque referencing and colouring, and which soon proved a fine compliment to the events witnessed within the visuals of Lost Planet of the Gods, and its revelations of the Twelve Colonies of Mankind.   

'GALACTICA' - THE COLLECTION!

The cast and guest stars of many Galactica episodes, but as you've never seen them before, as brought to action fantasy life on the costume front by the splendid talents of the series' acclaimed master of cloth, Jean-Pierre Dorleac.

CLASSIC ART: TIME OF THE CYLON!

Their ability to do evil may have diminished over the course of the series, but the Cylons nonetheless remain one of sci-fi TV's most memorable villains, and they always looked good onscreen, as seen here in another of Jean-Pierre Dorleac's stunning original costume design pieces that went up for auction a few years back. It's a shame that the trident weapon never made it to reality, though perhaps it was deemed too scary a weapon for a family audience.

CLASSIC ART: EVIL DESIGN!

Crafting the evil Cylon Centurions for the Classic Series must surely have been a difficult but rewarding experience for costume designer Jean Pierre Dorleac, whose final artkistic results have now become iconic and beloved in sci-fi TV history. Note the intriguing centipede-esque feet in this great early design drawing that went up for online auction a few years back.

BEHIND THE SCENES: RECON MAN!

From The Long Patrol, a lovely sketch from the series costume designer Jean-Pierre Dorleac for what would become Starbuck's Recon Viper One costume, an item which sold in auction a few years back, and notably carried along with a signature from Dirk Benedict himself!
