Oh, but the results I think are worth it.
Especially as regards durability.

That's always the issue, with everybody, isn't it?

Re: Gregor The Mountain costume research thread
Ah... But that's the trick. Make plastic LOOK like metal... The show pauldrons are more than likely fiberglass. Not common to use real metal for film anymore.
Don't trust movie sounds... Those come from the foley artist... Make that fiberglass helmet sound like metal.
Also... You should head on over here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/GameofThronesCostuming/?fref=nf
I recently joined up when I started working on my Jaime coat. Pretty good community.

Re: Gregor The Mountain costume research thread
That only matters if you're looking at reproducing the costume to exactly as it was constructed by the costuming dept.as opposed to what it's supposed to be onscreen. The metallic clang heard in that episode tells us that regardless of what the actual helm is made of it's supposed to be metal.

Sword scaling and analysis. This is drawn out to-scale, and it is massive....
This is the hilt portion, 19" long from pommel tip to tip/point on the top of the hand guard. Ruler for scale lol

Re: Gregor The Mountain costume research thread
Unfortunately, I will be putting this project on the back burner. Since I didn't really *start* this project, it's not a huge deal, but the sword will still made. With the potential move in the next few months, as well as learning that I have reserved duty the weekend of Megacon, for which I was planning to build this costume for, it's kind of a bummer....

Re: Gregor The Mountain costume research thread
Oy, well the costume was going to be with a large group doing characters from the show. It's not that I don't want to do the costume, I mean, I'm still having the sword made, just putting it on hold until I get situated with the DC move. The issue I may face when I do go is that I'll have to get an apartment and lose viable work space, so that's my biggest concern that I am going to have a really difficult time to work on anything at all.
Aww, that sucks!

Re: Gregor The Mountain costume research thread *Sword is ready*
WoodChuck completed the sword this week. Going to have to make a day trip to go pick it up!!
Going to need to do a bit more work to finish this but otherwise, this is what I need and I'm quite thankful for his skill and patience!

Re: Gregor The Mountain costume research thread *** New Sword Pics***
So I made the drive to pick up the sword from the maker himself. One thing is seeing it in pics VS in person, you really see how large the sword actually is. To add, it's deceivingly light, and I'd guess it to be only 2lbs, if that. Needless to say, I'm quite happy. I still need to do some minor modifications and detail work on the blade, but I couldn't be happier with WoodChuck's work!
The man himself
A buddy of mine holding it for scale

Damn, I arrived too late to this thread to be useful :<
I made the mountain armor for my own game of thrones group and was all excited someone else was going to do a full one too.
It sucks that it looks like the project is not going forward at this time. That IS a very sweet sword.
If you do want to go forward in the future, I am willing share my experiences wearing it, building it out of steel,aluminum and leather.

Re: Gregor The Mountain costume research thread *** New Sword Pics***
Hello Everyone.
I got a really Challenge. I will do this armor in real steel in a month TIme...
Madness?... no.. This is Sp... sorry i lost the line jajaja
Well i been talking to some people abbout this armor, about the lower part, that is a kind of Tasset... i almost sure its leather, reallywell painted leather, but fot the history it is supossed to be steel... buth that thickneess of steel will cause the armor to much heavy (I ve been calculating about 40 o 50 kg) . For "real protection y will use minimum 1.5 steel, but its to thin fot the image.
Well, dont whant to extend more, i ve been reading your comments, so i will like your sugestions based in yoir exp.
Leather: medium weight, looks like the armor in the photo.
Steel:: it will look thiner, real protection.
Thanks
(PD:sorry if my english in not good enougth, or ive got lots of grammar problemas , ive lost practice, especialy writting. )
