Flash Gordon, Mings Royal Guards info

[Tildane]

I'm modelling one of Mings Royal Guards. They are the ones we see first, dressed in red with gold armour. I've scowered the web and come up with some great reference pics but I need some hi res ones for the finer detail ie. the tops of their helmets. Does anyone here have one of the original helmets (not the face, I have a reel face off ebay) or the armour? The armour is so beautiful and shiny thats it's proving difficult to see the detail. Heres hoping!!!

I've always loved that design.

I'm pretty sure someone here had one of the original skull masks.


<Edit>
D'oh. Just re-read and say you don't need the mask!

 

[propologist]

yeah there are several if you use the search tool

Have you found what you were looking for and have you done any work towards this idea?

I just bought the bluray and have been loving these bizarre costumes. I have always loved the Red guards-I wonder if anybody has done anything with those.

Computer generated head ready for 3d printing.

 

[Martin-El]

Are you perchance doing the sword????

 

[Tildane]

Absolutely. I'm planning on making the whole action figure. This is the first print from my Ultimaker 1. It's not that impressive yet but I'm going to keep playing with the model.

 

[Tildane]

Nearly finished modeling the soldier. Next will be to print out the pieces and make the action figure.

 

[Tildane]

Started 3D printing. Looking good so far.

 

[Tildane]

Darn you photos

 

[Tildane]

I've started the Red Guard. Another popular figure. Once I've finished Mings royal guard this is the next one I will be printing.

Hawkman test

 

[AgentZarkoff]

That is just incredible work and you've been keeping it up for years? Amazing.

 

[Tildane]

Ming's royal guard coming along nicely

 

[Tildane]

Playing with the hawkman now. Just doing some test prints. Very please with the quality of the printer. Just look at the detail in those feet!!!

 

[Tildane]

Printed the hawkman figure. It's a little too thin. Nice proportions but too thin next to the other figures

 

[Tildane]

Here he is with Mings Guard as scale. Looks a bit like a teen hawkman

I know, I know, I must focus on one figure at a time but all the characters are so interesting for different things. I give you General Kala!!
