  1. .There's no pattern that I'm aware of, but you can do a search for WEP G-8 patterns and see if anything comes up. As you may or may not know, the jackets used on SG-1 were based on a flight jacket called the WEP G-8 from around the Vietnam war era. The jackets used for the pilot, "Children of the Gods" was an unmodified WEP in its original satin like material. I'd also contact Gweneal on the forums here, he's a very talented costume maker based in France and has made a number of his own Stargate costumes. i don't know if he's made his own WEP but it can't to hurt to ask if he has and, if so, if he's willing to share his pattern with you.
  2. You can talk to Dan here on the site, he offers Atlantis jackets that are made to order, or did. These jackets were all custom made for the show so there's no source to buy them off the shelf and you'll have to find someone to make one for you. You could also contact a member named Gwenael, he's made Atlantis jackets before and does excellent work. However, he is in France so shipping will be high, and I don't know if he takes commissions or not.
  3. I can appreciate and understand that, but if the patches are on velcro, there's no reason that he couldn't remove them and put SG patches on it for, say, a con, and then put them back aftewards.
  4. Why not? Depending on the size and placement of the velcro it would be easy enough to do. Just swap out the existing patches for Stargate ones and Bob's your uncle.
  5. With a bit of 3D work on the computer, you could probably break down a Replicator bug for 3D printing in sections. Each leg could be printed in 2 or 3 pieces and same with the body. It would be a whole lot easier than trying to glue together 100+ individual pieces. I guess that would be another project for when/if I get a 3D printer.
  6. You know, if/when I get a 3D printer, I think that one of the first things that I'll model and print would be Replicator blocks. It's a fairly simple shape which would be right up my alley and skill level. Heck, I might even have a go at printing a whole frame, that would be a simple matter of copy-pasting blocks then it would be a simple matter of figuring out just how big of a section I could print at a time.
  7. If by no success you mean no success on the Hi-Tec website then it almost certainly means that it was discontinued. Have you tried looking at the costume guides here? I don't know if the Atlantis section was completed but if it was, then there's a good chance that the model name is there.
  8. I don't know the model unfortunately, but have you tried looking at the HI-Tec website to see if they still sell them? You could also try dropping the pic into Google or Bing's image search and see what comes up. However, I wouldn't be too surprised if they're no longer in production as this is often the case with off the shelf clothing items used in shows and movies.
  9. It's probably a custom job. I could reproduce it for you (art wise) if you can get me a good screen cap that's more or less straight on at a decent resolution. Once done, I'm sure that Dan could convince his patchmaker to make and carry them.
  10. I think you're selling yourself short, I don't think that it would be that tricky to make these. I think that all you'd need would be a heat gun, a form to bend the plastic over, and a Dremel to cut out the nose. But, I'll admit, I don't know if heating and hand bending the plastic would cause any distortions in the plastic or not. I bet that there's a market for screen accurate Martian sunglasses. You know how some people are with their props and costumes, close enough it not good enough. There are lots of costumers and prop collectors for whom unless it's no good unless it's accurate down to the fraction of a millimeter, with exact number of stitches with the right length and spacing, and if it's something hard like armor then it has to has to have every nick, scratch, and ding the screen used piece has for them to accept it.😁
  11. Very nice. Well done! You know, those sunglasses are pretty basic looking, I bet that if you can get your hands on the hinges you could probably make them yourself. You'd probably have to vacform the lens since I don't think you can cast resin/plastic to be clear enough to not have any distortions. Or, you could just simply heat form the lens from a piece of rectangular piece of transparent plastic. If you could do that, I bet that you could convince Dan and/or Ryan to carry a bunch in their shops and being fairly light, you could probably ship quite a few of them for not too much.
  12. Overall, it seems that Stargate is more popular overseas in the UK and the EU than in the States. Here, while it definitely has its fans, is kind of a forgotten franchise. Hopefully somebody will decide to resurrect Stargate properly, like with a soft reboot on Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu and make it popular again.
  13. Exactly. What a lot of people say about Hollywood deliberately getting things wrong with military uniforms (and police as well) because it's illegal to get it 100% accurate because that would be impersonating someone in the military or a cop is total BS. They get it wrong because they don't have a consultant or their consultant is no good. Simply dressing up as military or police for a con, Halloween, or TV show/movie/play is not considered impersonation. Impersonating X is about trying to convince people that you're really X when you're not; this could be for gaining personal favors, discounts at a store or restaurant, to (illegally) gain access to somewhere a regular civilian is not allowed, and so on. Impersonation is about much more than simply playing dress up,
  14. As an FYI, if you go the airsoft route P90s are hard to come by these days, the proper red dot style used on the show even more so. MP5s are still around but they're not as common as they used to be, but I don't know if the flashlight handguards are still available though. A con friendly option that Dan came up with years ago was to print a picture of a P90 onto a piece of foam core and cut it out, attached a sling to it and wore it around. Another (potential) option is simply going with a zat, it gets around the realistic weapon restriction that some cons have in place and is very iconic.
