Have never seen or heard of one, but they did make a new version for the TV-series.

You should get the Horizon fifth scale kit and use as reference. As close as you can get to the full scale version.

Interested in seeing where you take this.

Would be an interesting sculpt to do and great stuff if you attempt it. Ill echo Nohumorman, the horizon kit would be a great starting point.

If i can dig out where I have seen reference pics I will post them, I am sure others have more aswell.

I actually just got the Horizons kit a week or so ago! Great minds think alike! :lol

But any reference photos would be awesome. The photos in the other thread were perfect!

This is something i'd love to do, but the sheer size of all that clay is very daunting to me!

I believe there were replicas of all three movie masks available back in 1994.
I think there was an ad in Starlog.

you are correct Distortions a mask/haunted house prop company made all 4 stargate masks Ra, horus, anubis and they also did the furry beast.
They were expensive and didn't hold up well because they were heavy and latex.
I talked with the owner of the company about them a few years back, they were beautiful masks, but now a hot rare collectable.
here's a pic of the amazing Ra mask they produced.

Damn, that would have been awesome, wonder if they were movie mould?

i remember seeing an originakl casting of the face mask on ebay a few years back, maybe someone around here picked it up.

Yeah, some great reference material came forward. Though, it was both of the movie version and the TV series version and there are differences.

If only someone with the movie in hi-def could capture a lot of good reference, that'd be great.

This is something i'd love to do, but the sheer size of all that clay is very daunting to me!

Wood skeleton with chicken-wire frame and paper mache (or perhaps something a bit stronger structurally, but just as light) for the understructure to sculpt on top of would indeed lessen the weight. But yeah... it IS a huge mask.

The face can always be sculpted separately.

Ive have a movie accurate face part in 1:1 that I got from a member here, it's just the rest I need to worry about.

I know people go on about laser scanning all the time, but I wonder how realistic scanning the Horizons head would be? It would need to be enlarged, then have all the detail sculpted back in, but for the basic shape and size, it would be a perfect option.

to my knowledge they did use the movie molds, pretty sure they sold for over $450 originally.

That's not much considering the price of a Vader helmet.

Can only imagine what they'd be worth now. But the materials used doesn't sound too optimal for such beasts!?

Here's a picture of me with the mask they made for the TV Series, as you can see, it's a bit different than the movie one.

Also the Horus,

And Serpent guard masks

Re: Stargate Movie Ra Helmet/Hear-dress?

That Horus mask is greak, well they all are. Where did you get them from, are they available still?

This Horus thread was looking exciting, but has been dormant for a while.

These are the actual masks from the TV series, but sadly they're not mine.

I know someone who works in the Stargate prop fabrication shop, and we got to poke around one day a couple of years ago.

Those are absolutely incredible pieces, I wish there were cast available from the screen used pieces!

Please, post a picture of it! I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing it - at least I'm definitely one of them! :lol
