First time Predator costume

[Silvia Draco]

Hello everyone. This is a first for me. I am wanting to make a predator costume. I know it'll take me some time and I'm cool with that. I'd like to know if anyone has any advice for a first time like me.

I'll be the first to tell you I'm a noob in COSPLAY, (which means I'm a beginner at this) my start at this was extremely cheap and not so typical. But that's what I liked about my PREDATOR's path. I knew that my NEXT suit was going to be BETTER then my first.
I like watching PREDATOR movies and comics, toys and everything about the PREDATOR evolution interest me. Your idea of making your first costume is everywhere, just take a few and make it your own way.
I'm sure you'll do fine, if you need any help i'll let you know happy hunting!

Thanks a ton. As said I know it's going to take quite awhile to.make. I already started the design process. Drawing it out and what not. I'm even going to help a friend of mine with hers. She is making a shaman.

Noob is a state of mind. I would advise that if you make your own, you will be forever improving it as I am. Stan Winston made the original predator suit for 1.5 million. Studio made units are 20-40k, and professionally made units are about 3-5k depending on various factors. A base build done yourself will be less, but a latex based build is 1200 in materials or there abouts. If you are going that route look up Stan Winston's website, and look up monstermakers.com for materials along with smooth-on for casting materials.

Alrighty. I follow their Facebook page and YouTube channel. I even watch face off. So I'll definitely give those sites a look.
