[bendrago]

Looking good indeed, I love the way you have incorporated the textured material into the overall desing, I am seriously stalking this topic

Thats coming along great indeed, am liking how the armor seems to blend with the feathered area. Loving this piece.... Fanatastic

Managed to sew my finger to it though with a sewing machine,

Argh!

We all put blood sweat and tears into our projects - but you didn't have to get so literal




hope the hand heals up nicely and doesn't slow you down.

I'm loving this design, very unique and you are putting a lot of detail in which always a plus! Keep it up and post pictures!

My fingers all right now its still a bit sore but it was my middle finger so it hasent held me back too much lol

Ive started on the sholder armour and my helmet pice, apart form the body suit and head all my next parts will be rather pointy so hope no one bumps into me or they'll loose an eye lol

I have the Rubber gauntlets which I used for my old pred costume. So I was going to modify them again this time the computer gauntlet. I’ve seen how people cut a flap in the arm so you could open and shut them. I know that the computer has that predator hieroglyphics and on my budget I had an idea. I’m mad for these el wires at the moment; they look like the glow bits off the Tron outfits (see pics). I’ve brought red bulbs and wires to decorate my costume. I want to make these odd looking mechanical wings which I'll incorporate the cannon into; one wing is the cannon and other the laser pointer. So I’ve got a blue/white led computer fan to install on one wing so it looks like the cannon warming up ready to fire and red bulbs on the other wing to create the homing laser that usually on the mask. I also want to line some of the armour with the red el wire to make me look like a Christmas tree . I want to bring the wires down my arm and have a battery and switches in the computer gauntlet, So I can press a button and stuff lights up. Then inside the gauntlet have an el panel which is like a thin sheet with computer graphics/lights on it. The only panel I can get my hands looks like a heart monitor so i thought it would just add a little something to the gauntlets. In theory Ive got it all worked out but things never go that smoothly….merrr

Liking that idea, but will the canon be heavy on the wing and cause it bend out place or keep moving? and the same for the laser pointer?

I used the pred hands from them gloves and I made the gauntlets for both bomb computer and blades. The computer has working red LED's. I made my own coz 1) the looked better (more defined) and 2) The rubber gauntlets didn't seem to have the structure or enough room to fit and lid and computer system in place.

Just thinking out loud....

I built a special splint for the gloves so they have that boxy shape and theres about roughly 3"x6" inch compartment. I couldnt fit a large battery like a moterbike one but fine for AA to 9V battries. The wings I will be using a light metal or wood as the skelligton and attach it to to my costume some way. Most likely make them detachable and attach them to a body suport I'll weare under my body suit. It'll be a two man job to get dressed. Idearly they just slot on plug in. Ive been looking on how they attach wings on the Victoria Secret fashon show and some of the angel wings that cosplayers have made in the past. When it comes to applying the concept to real life never is simple ┐('～`；)┌

Brought my mask quills off Ebay, off the lovely French Predator who lurks with in these domains (do not know their name). Too much nice pred stuff on ebay I'll be skint before I know it （･∀･)つ⑩. Waiting on the post now, Oh I love it this time of year!

 

[JehdinThwei]

I'm looking forward to the completed project. It looks tight so far.

 

[Momo]

New pics, a bit blurry but you get the idea. Made wings, painted body suit up, looks crap though not verry good at painting lol. My mask dosent come close to the nice ones I see on Hunters Lair but as a modified 3/4 mask cheep masks go its the best I could do lol

 

[bodiee]

epic can't wait to see you suited. i was hoping you would have gone for a softer white looking predator it being final fantasy and all.

Yeah I had a few ideas but the cheetah colours are based off a figure I found it has though come out very bright on the pictures. Im doing white dreads though, Ive made them 3 times now and Im failing terribly meh...times running out to so might just do a cheep and easy option for now and upgrade it later.

 

[Tsurabisu]

It's looking great! The wings are a real nice touch.

 

[Double H]

Looking great, the lights around the front area are a cool idea and the wings look awesome

 

[celtic0130]

I like the concept! Magnificent!
Specially those lights on the chest armor

 

[WhiskeyBeard]

I love this kind of fearless creativity. Rock. and. Roll.

Due to time being short now for it needing to be finished, Ive made the dreads out of hair extensions and attached it to a wig. It looks allright I mean its no laytex dreads but has to do, because of this Ive had to scrap the idea of a fan because the hair gets tangled in it. Also my gauntlet with the el pad has gone drown the drain. After spending all my time making it look grate the el pad broke. Im making the boots light up instead iswell as the strip down my back.

Im making layerd leaf shaped armour down one arm to make up for missing gauntlet. Ive also made leg armour and brought a rustic bone axe to afix to the leg. I'll update my pictures as soon as I can. I tried every thing on for the first time to see if I need to do any alterations to sizes etc. Im pleased the only hang up I have is because of my layers and armour it looks a bit tubby, copared to the sleak look most female predators have. Ahh well
