Hi guys, some of you have already seen my Gamorrean Guard costumes.

Well I'm back in production of a new one for a tall trooper. It's been a while since I made one and my techniques have improved a lot. Here is a look at some of the new parts I'm making. First is the new feet.

These have been sculpted, molded and cast in thick latex rubber then lined with foam rubber for comfort and stability.

They will fit up to size 13 comfortably. The sandal straps are made from closed cell foam skin and painted to look like leather.

The sole is made from more PE foam and covered with a hard wearing urethane goo.

These will have one more paint job with an airbrush once the rest of the rubber parts are finished. The new feet are only a quarter of the weight of the old ones and should be quite a relief on long troops.
More new parts soon.
 
Duuuuuuude.... If you offer up a run of these, I will find as many freelance jobs as I have to to pay for a GG costume. AND you make it to fit size 13 shoes. It's like...destiny!
 
Awesome! I was a Gamorrean Guard for Halloween in 5th grade!... long ago.

The GGs aren't an easy costume to build, as evident by the few we've seen. Great to see you put the work into the details!!
 
Thanks for the kind words guys, I have molds of these parts and have patterns for the rest that I customize to your measurements. I'm happy to do a run as that is always better. Feel free to check out my other stuff at Dextar FX | A special effects workshop based in Christchurch, New Zealand. or keep an eye on this thread.

Here is the first photo of the hands. They are really comfortable to wear.
I am having some camera issues but will get more pictures up soon.

the helmet part is made from a two piece ABS kit stuck together and bogged down the centre then covered by a stretchy brown material outside and lined with foam inside. the detail parts are cast in resin and bolted together through the latex mask holding the whole thing together.

Foam is added to the inside for comfort. the nostrils and mouth and lined with a black lycra.

the mouth is cut open a bit and can bounce open with a slight nod, this way you can make him talk or laugh. pretty cool.
 
Not that I could afford to buy one at this time anyway, but nice to finally see a costume even *I* could fit into. :)

Awesome work! Keep posting updates.

The body is made from open cell foam rubber, cut to fit with the arms added and carved and the belly is a pillow which gives great movement.

It is opened at the back with a zipper and dome snaps holding it all together.
