Hello to all,
I recently started building my first suit and am looking to get a little bit of imput on it as I advance towards completion.
I am using narins 'alternative hunter' and 'spirit blade' to influence some of the design, along with my own drawings.

Ive made a duct tape dummy to work off of, and Ive cut the designs for the wrist, leg and hip armor, and im looking to pick up an AVPR mask that I found in a local shop and modding it to my design. I am working with a lycra suit and some foam to build a more sleek body design similar to the Narin models, versus using the more bulky look of the Mr. Incredible suit. Im also working on a design for the shoulder cannon to house a flash bulb inside from an old disposable camera wired into the wrist gauntlet with the power supply housed in the medikit. I will be able to charge the bulb and activate the lasers all from the gauntlet.
Id love to get you guy's input on some of the items I looking for
are there any smaller scale predator heads? In keeping with the smaller form, im looking for a smaller head on this one, although im about 6', 170 pounds, I wanna scale the entire design down. I would prefer predator 2 design, but both work.
I am working with foam mat for the armor, to be then covered with fiberglass. to anyone that has gone this route, hows the weight / comfort?
I thinking of going the same route for the latex as seen in mustangdave05's thread http://www.thehunterslair.com/topic/29360-my-complete-alien-and-predator-costume-2012-both-for-under-300/ using bath calk for the body, unless I can find some better material locally (im located in montreal if anyone knows where to find any) or if some suggests not using the bath calk for health reasons.
Ive got more questions but have drawn a blank, but am really looking to get some input once it starts rolling.
I will be updating this post later with some images of the work done so far.
