AVP Armor Templates By VinMan

This topic has been such a help to so many members I thought it was way past being Pin worthy.

Cheers Vin!

Wow! Thanks for the honor! A nice birthday present for me!

Just wanted to thank everybody that has helped me along on my journey here!
Hope the Hunters here continue to benefit from these templates for a long time!

Cheers to you as well!

Hey Do-it-Yourself Hunters.

I am working on a series of templates for AVP armor pieces.
Since I am doing the work, might as well make it available to all.

Please take note measurements are only approximate and will vary from person to person.
a dude 5'8" will not want to adjust down a tad. a dude 6'2" will want to adjust up a tad.

Use common sense and try them on to fit.

Here is the first in the series. As I continue the series I will make the others available as well.

here are finished photos of the Shoulder Bells cut with a Dremel from Sintra sign plastic
• primered in black Plastiidip
• painted in silver Rustoleum Hammered Metal spray paint
• washed with gloss latex paint and blotted with a paper towel to age
• lightly rubbed with silver Rub and Buff paste to add dimension to the pitted texture

Hope you like the results!

Could you post some P1 Templates? thanks - these are great, good job

Sorry, not gonna happen

If you read through the thread you will learn that I created these to aid in my own AVP Costume
so I made the templates available to all as a thanks to everyone that helped me along.

They took dozens and dozens of hours.

If you want P1 Templates you will have to see if anyone else has created a set that would be willing to share.

You welcome man. If more members did stuff like this there would be no end to the wealth of knowledge at our disposal. Suits would be everywhere, armies of Predators on the streets, doing my bidding, and then I can take over the worl.... cough, ahem.

Sorry.

Cheers Vin.
 
These are soooo ridiculously helpful. I've been trying to make my own templates, based on pics, but these are so much better and will benefit me quite a bit. Thank you so much.
 
I don't have enough words to say how helpful this templates were for my suit building progress! Now i guess i will finish much more faster than planned! It's just like finding an oasis after looong travel in desert! Thanks, man!
 
I know this has been said a million times already but,thank you so much for these vinman! I have most of the armor done and it has turned out beautifly. These templates are a godsend!
 
WOW!!! Those plans are amazing. I know that that has been sid soooo many times before but they are. I bought my sheets of Sintra today, the heat gun, the dremal and some e-6000 glue. Saturday I start building. I can only hope that I looks half as good as to what I've seen created so far.
 
wow these are both pro and l33t.................

im gunna make the blade gauntlet and wear it to the new ''predators'' movie

what should i make the blade from?

i was thinking some wood i have lying around?
 
From one Vin to another, Dude, sorry to hear that. Money is tight this end too, but I, along with many other Lair members, have used your templates, & thank you for it, so I will help out.
I'll see what I can do & drop you a PM.
Chin up Bro,

Nil illigitimus carburundum
