[mumbaki]

That is the worst costume ever! that makes me wan't to puke!!!!!!

Why? You dont like the teletubbies

 

[Biopredator12]

astounding .




How did you make the chest piece?

 

[mumbaki]

For the chest armor i used contruction tubes you can by them at home depot less than 20 bucks heres a pic.

here's a template from another member which I used

I tried buckets but I find this easier to manipulate coz its thick card board...

Thanks for the tip . Btw for the plasmacaster would carving it out of styorfoam(spelling ) be a good idea?




Thanks mate

I think it looks awesome! I like the detail put into the bio and the dreads. I must ask, was it hard using the Great Stuff as the base for the bio? I plan on starting my second homemade bio tomorrow which will be for my suit...any advice?

Great work man, keep it up!!

 

[TUSKY]

Truly awsome AGAIN!!!
Man you are a legend
I am a novice once again.
Keep up the stellar work

As much forum digging I've done, I can't believe I missed this one. Awesome job, hands down. I think my favorite aspect of your suit was adding the small lamp post / lamp base as the base for your plasma cannon - so effective but so simple.

I wanted to ask you though
1) how did you get your armor to bind together, The chest armor, the layer that runs straight down your chest, looks like it's connected by wire? I think see some spaces between each little piece which I think really adds a layer effect. I thoguht I had read you used plastidip? (spelling?) I think i've read that most people paint dreads with it because other paints tend to chip off and plastidip tends to hold real well and give it that black dread look.

2) When I start my predator costume, I think I'm going to start with the wrist pieces, I saw that you used a template for the actual blades....but the template is like, half cut off, or scaled to size, is it possible to get this template from you?

3) I'm not really smart on this aspect, but do you have any recommendations for using LED lights inside the wrist armor? I think I could shape out some foam into the predator count down self explosion--that would be awesome to have on the costume, but I'm just not sure exactly how to hook/use the LED and incorporate it into the wrist armor.


Grade A costume, definately makes me inspired
