Animatronic Horus helmet- here we go again!

Update!

 

[Jintosh]

I always like elaborate props like this. It takes a lot of hard work to build something like this.

That is coming along nicely Frank! Looks great.

Is the part where the actors head would be removable? And are you planning to make the ears animatronic as well?

The Ears move, the head Moves, and the Iris of the Eyes open and Close.
It is essential identical to the Hero Movie prop, with the exception that it has more mobility, and updated technology and the neck ring is stationary.
The hero prop neck ring was a custom "lazy susan". However, it probably only allowed the actor to move 1.5 inches either way. I did not think it was worth the expense to produce.

Not a big fan of Stargate, but that helmet is really a piece of art.

I love the production art. It is really gorgeous. Never really cared for SG1, Im a movie guy, and the directors cut is even better.

This is looking really awesome! Really love the movement!
May I ask, which Servos you use, and do you already know how the servos keep up under long time use?
I've had some issues with an animatronic I built some time ago. The servos would wear out if active for too long, however the ones I had were quite cheap, due to a very low budget.

He's got a parts list on the Instructables page he put up, upthread.

Thanks Yes! I would defer to what he did. I know nothing about electronics~!

Where can one buy the Anubis/Horus casts? Kookla use to make them, but has dropped off the planet ?

Love. This. Build.
Animatronics are just magic!

+1 Or even good 3D files so one could print the pieces. This and the rest of the costume I've wanted to do since first viewing of the film, but until recently thought was an unattainable pipe-dream.

I'm at the stage of engaging a digital artist to make the files for me. It's taken me a while to find someone suitable.

LOL, the files for the IPD is already underway. I really should start a WIP thread.
