This is truly a thing of beauty, hold your head high sir, your foam skills are impressive. You don't happen to be in the LA area do you? Man could I use someone of your skill level helping me on my projects.

Re: Foam Jaffa Horus guard headdress.
Thank you all for the great compliments They are really appreciated.
As for living in the LA area, afraid not, I am in a small town called Atikokan in Ontario. The thickness of the foam I used for this build is 5mm roll. For some of the raised details I just used craft foam I believe it is 2 mm thick. Which reminds me I still have some raised detailing to do, I better get that done.
I went for close accuracy, lol. Some of the detailing is different but overall I think it is recognizable.
Unfortunately painting will have to wait a week or two, it is way to cold here still to doing any painting, I do not have a shed or workshop so it all has to be done outside and it is -13 (-20 with the wind chill).
I am hoping to do a gold/bronze type finish on it.

Re: Foam Jaffa Horus guard headdress.
Thanks guys. By the way, anyone who is going to try detailing with a pencil first do a little practice on some scrap foam and also do not have the pencil to sharp, a sharp point can rip the foam a little, I find for best results using a B pencil or even a B1 not to hard and not to soft..
As for painting or sealing. I know everyone swears by sealing the foam, but apart from plastidip (which is expensive) I have never had much luck with sealing. My life size R2 and Wall-e were both painted using Krylon spary paint with out sesaling first and they turned out great.

Damn! As A huge Stargate fan this is super impressive. How do you plan on approaching the paint job?
