Stargate SG1 Horus Guard

[crypto]

I read that the chainmail suits used in the show were actually knitted wool jumpers and pants, thinking this would be a easy and light alternative to real chainmail I started a hunt for a decent jumper ( I couldn't knit to save my life, nor no I have the time).

Found a decent jumper with a "chainmail" look to it.... ordered 2 ... One for the top and one to be cut up and made intochausses (leg mail).


Finished off the shins.

Stay tuned ........................................................................................................

Absolutely brilliant! Thank's for sharing this. I feel like trying it myself now

 

[crypto]

Chest and back plates all done and ready to go .


And together with the belt.


Stay tuned ...................................................................

Neck and shoulder piece all painted up and done.

The bigger lines were done with a soldering iron , at first I wasn't to thrilled with the "melted" look of each line but once paint and weathering was added I changed my mind .



Stay tuned ..............................................................................................

Great detailing! Big thanks for sharing your work - used it as guide for my costume! :thumbsup
For big deep lines I used rotary tool with cylindrical grinding stone

 

[crypto]

The "lobster tail" has it's feathers .





So i just have to add the "face" piece and weathering and then this is done.

Stay tuned ..........................................................................................................

I realized I had forgotten the side panels on the chest armour .. so back to the workbench with those pieces.



I had some issues with the 1st face I made so I made a 2nd and got it painted up ready for weathering.



Stay tuned ..............................................................................................

 

[crypto]

Face all weathered and eyes added .



A small torch was added to the back of the face to light up the eyes.




Stay tuned ........................................................................

Great work, I am just cutting out paper templates to start my build, and may now change to foam as the detail looks amazing.

did you use a template for the lines or just freehand them

Richard.

 

[crypto]

Thanks for the encouraging words all !

Superhorus - no template used for the lines mate . I picked a couple of pictures that showed the lines and just free handed them .

Ok .. well the helmet is all finished.. face glued on and a black mesh screen glued in so no-one can see me in it.

Stay tuned .............................................................................

 

[Shiroppi]

dude ...... *speechless*

 

[Mandi]

Dude, this is insane!

I cannot wait to see the fiished product all together.

Makes me want to build the head on mine now..

 

[Venom1989]

this is so freakin awesome :O

i think i will start my own Horus Guard this week - your work is so inspiring :thumbsup

 

[crypto]

Time to make a start on the staff weapon ....... pvc pipe and foam used.

Plaster was applied to the foam to give some texture... it's a water based plaster so a paint brush and water can be used to smooth it out.

Details added with 2mm foam and I used alfoil to bulk out the detail .

Primer sprayed on and ready for final coats.





Stay tuned ......................................................................................

Not having the time or patience to make chain mail I found some on-line perfect for what I needed.

I have attached this to a leather belt .... it's got a bit of weight to it.

Staff weapon is all finished and ready to go !

I have made a "skirt" all that's left to do is try it all on and make sure it sits well.

Pictures soon

Stay tuned ...................................................................................................
