The vintage Adama & Starbuck figures from Mattel's Battlestar Galactica toy line can often be found without their capes. So today I take a look at remaking them, working out how they are constructed and how they can easily be reproduced. While I am at it I will also make a custom cape for Baltar who always looked a bit left out without one.
