Hi m8. dun think its going to be an easy process. What's your timeline like. Sculpting a mask and then casting it, painting it and adding dreads, these are going to take time if not talent.

If you are in a hurry it might be worthwhile to outsource and buy some of it cos its not likely you'll be able to make all of it in a short span of time.


Good luck,
James.

Search my friend,

Look for "foamies", "foam armor", if you're interested in building your own armor.

I would suggest buying from one of the members here a raw cast of either the P1 or P2 face mask and a bio, depending on what you want.

...Or just do it the way Predattak did it...

All you had to do was use the search.

Seriously though, I made almost all of my suit from household bits from scratch, just by searching the Lair. It's by far the BEST resource.
