Battle Dress Uniform
There seem to be two collar variations of the BDU's in Home pt. II, the normal collar like in any dress shirt worn by Apollo, and the Mandarin collar uniform worn by Adama. The Mandarin is the stand up collar that in the new generation uniforms is for comfort under body armor. You can see the difference in the screenshots for home on the reference link in the main article. The big two pics are the one of Apollo with the shouldered rifle and any of the Adama pics were he has the pepperbox aimed at Boomer's head.
- I agree. I'll make the change. Also, I may have been wrong about the flight suits. They could be plastic or vinyl instead of leather, opinions? Use this image as a reference. http://galactica.emedian.net/episode/1.06/imagepages/image2.html
I don't know, it looks like leather. I'll brainstorm on this. --Talos 14:21, 13 September 2005 (EDT)
- The sleeves look like Vinyl. The vest looks like an unpolished leather. --Peter Farago 17:15, 12 September 2005 (EDT)
- To me, the suit bit (sleeve, pegs, under-vest, etc.) looks like some kind of rubber material to me. I've thought this for a while now. I imagine that it's some kind of Space-Age Technology that is super-insulative and air-tight that would help in the case of cabin depressurization while in a Viper. This is, after all, the flight suit. I agree that the vest thingie looks leather. --Day 18:34, 12 September 2005 (EDT)
- I agree with Day in that the flighsuit is probably a futuristic Space-Age material. I wonder what the actual costumes are made of (besides the vest, it is most likely unpolished leather). --Talos 14:21, 13 September 2005 (EDT)
Pictures
This article (as noted on the Standards and Conventions page) is gonna need a lot of pictures. Do you guys think that we should create a 3- or 4-equals heading for each kind of uniform to better align tha pictures with the accompanying text? This would also help in finding the specific type of uniform a reader is loking for if they were looking for that, rather than just looking for all/any uniform information. --Day 20:48, 12 September 2005 (EDT)
