I put a load of photos into a video for anybody who doesn’t want to read all of the above :

Finally, I got to partake in a photo shoot along side a couple of other predators. Results:

So parts were printed, put together, painted. Soft parts were sewn and complete. It was time for a try-on.

I painted some additional spots onto the Lycra skin suit to give a bit of texture, which got a bit messy tbh, but almost worked. Some mesh/netting was bought from ebay and a mesh top and trousers were made to go over the sking suit and under the armour, I used a mesh of 30mm but with hind sight...

Initally, while looking for files, I cam across a thread here by MoeSizzlac: My P1 Themed Predator Costume with Electronics and Sounds. (Pic Heavy) And as he had created some great P1 files, I decided to go with a Gort Jungle Hunter build and combined with some EVA parts I had built the first...

While parts of the Bio were printed I made a start on some other pieces. I ordered a printed morph suit /Zentai suit and started working on things like the dreads (backer rod, rolled and shaped with heat then dipped in black latex for 5 layers). Hands were made from some cotton gloves, coated...

This build is pretty much finished now, but I thought I'd document this costume as I've not written a forum post in quite some time. I think this is the first htread I've started in the predator section of therpf too. I attempted a Predator build many moons ago (probably 15 years ago), before I...

I use sounds with a few of my costumes, my predator has sounds but has not realy been tested thoroughly as it was built during lockdown. I can't see there being any major problems though, as I use the same set-up for other costumes that have been worn 10s (if not 100s) of times. I use an...

I have the same printer. Personally I use windows 10 "3D builder" for cutting any files into pieces.

Nice! I love the bio and the overall proportions all look good too!

Yes Alan was fantastic to meet and chat to, I was fortunate enough to meet him a number of times and it was great that when he saw me in costume he knew who I was and would call me by my real name. One of my favourite memories in this costume was standing by Alans signing table at a small...

Fantastic thread, and thank you for uploading your files. I made use of the shoulder and Gauntlet designs for my WIP Predator costume too.

The original file for the head was from “Build it and they will come” Facebook group. I remade the breather section though as I felt some angles were missing on the original file. The backpack was remade too with 4” waste tubes and 3D printed and caps.

Since clearing my TwoTubes and looking at some photos I've become a little unhappy with some of the features of the head. The ears sit too low, the breather is slightly too wide and the colour is too dark/peach. Since Santa was kind to me this year and brought me a 3D printer I thought I'd...

Whenever I've made lightsabers from aluminium tubing I just make sure that the internal diameter of the emitter end is 1". This will fit a blade and a 1" diameter LED heatsink/led&lens holder). The most basic electronics would be a star mounted LED (or triple LED such as a Cree XPE2 for decent...
