    Anybody Live In Seattle, WA?

    I've been searching for reference material on Twiki which will be included in the second series of Buck Rogers figures and found that one of the screen used costumes is on display at the The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle, WA. Is that costume still on display there and if so, would someone be willing to get some detailed pics for me?

      This guy is making a Twiki resin model kit. He might have some info or pictures. He might be a good sculpting contact?

        Fantastic! There's no huge rush but if you could get me something within the next few weeks that would be great. I've found a few decent images online but I need some detailed shots from different angles.

          Awesome! Thanks for the link. I was gonna have my 3D guy take a shot at it first but I'll definitely contact this guy to see if he would be interested.

              I can never have too much reference material for this project. If you can find the time to get me some pics that would be great, thanks!

                Mike, we should meet up. My family wants to go too so we will just make a whole day of it. I was just planning on going in and taking pictures and jumping out. But my kids now want to go. Still in Portland today enjoying the gorgeous weather!

                  Here's a Twiki I've never seen before.

                  He looks pretty detailed. I wonder how big he is, though.

                    It's hard to tell from the pic but based on what I can see I don't think it has the level of detail I need. Thanks for posting the link.

                      I was doing a search for something on Buck Rogers the other day and saw a pic of Twiki at that museum online. Must have been this link:

                      BrrGrr Bzz: October 2005

                      Looks like it is free-standing in the open and not under glass. You should have an easy time taking pics from all angles. I suppose screen-caps wouldn't help?

                        Screen-caps are also an option but I doubt they'll be able to provide the level of detail I need.
