Sorry lol

It ended up costing about £150-£200 (and alot of blood, sweat and tears lol) and around about 3-4 month construction time.

Thanks buddy

Thanks guys and gals

Now that is VERY cool especially for what you paid.
And it looks much better when worn as opposed to being on the mannequin

Thanks man, had an awesome time building this. Still gotta tweak it a lil and change a few this i.e. make a latex suit and change the gauntlet blades etc. Will also be sculpting my own mask in the new year. Just making improvements to get more screen accurate lol

Thanks again for the great feedback, it very appreciated.

This costume is phenomenal!!!

Thanks for all your great feedback guys and gals, very much appreciated

Hey everyone,

Been along time since I update this thread. My pred suit has now gone under major reconstruction and had a face lift. Everything has been upgrade and made fully by yours truly (excluding the dreads)

I have also turned this custom and it is now called the Cobra Predator



Let me know what you guys think

Nice! Looks like the painting took a while, great details!

nice costume .. i like the upgraded one alot better .. the mask is awsome and those dreads are amazing .. but i have to ask were did u get the neck seal? i love how big it is ! also if i were u i would latex the entire body of that suit to make it look more real .. check out my build

Thanks to both of you



The mask was sculpted, moulded and cast by myself as were the feet. The mask was based on a p2 and then went and customized it a tad for an authentic feel. The neck seal I got in a trade at the start of the year.... not sure who the maker is.... I did consider going with a latex suit on this but the day the above pic was taken it was 31 degrees C and I fried in just material. I am considering making a latex torso via the Mr I approach that you have done, but it will be done as a 2 part suit (so torso and legs seperate) but then again I may just sculpt some - eventualy

That looks sweet. What clay did you use to sculpt it? WED?

I do all my sculpts in oil-based clay. Does dry out and is 100% reusable.

Thanks for the tip on the Mr I suit. If I ever get my ass into gear will be walking that line lol
