SG1Props

Cleve here, Stargate fan since the movie but new to costuming and propping. (In the SG 'verse, anyway...) Looking forward to all the info I can glom onto, and I hope it's not too late to get a conversion kit for my coming Well D90F. I have a Blackhawk med/util vest coming and various other stuff.
Some of my other hobby impressions are: Various cowboys with real BP firearms, (Used to take part in gunfights in Tombstone AZ.) Indian Wars US Cav Sgt Major, and I'm working on a L.A.Rams Merlin Olsen uniform. (I'm waiting to see if there will even BE a NFL in the near future.) Oops, the last chevron has locked, time to go. See you in the 'Verse!

Welcome!

If you have any questions, or need any help, feel free to ask.

Actually, I DO have a question: Did the actors wear actual PASGT helmets or did they wear M88s?
I own both, and there is a VAST difference in weight. I can't see actors schlepping real kevlar just for a TV show.
Thanx
Cleve

Are you talking about the British M88?

I suspect that if they were not real military issue Kevlar helmets then they would most likely have been the ABS replicas made for airsoft. Although I don't know if those were even available back in '96/'97 when SG1 started filming (they were available for sure in the early 2000's).

The PropWorx catalog might have some information...

I'm talking Airsoft M88s. My real kevlar is set up for riot situations. It wouldn't do for fun stuff. It's heavier than my M1 pot.
