Jir'Xar (Yautja costume WIP)

[Jmen]

Jmen So i called SIAL Canada and Smooth-ON USA........They told me to use 4 options of shells and they told me that it was NOT necessary for my case, because I already have enough Silicone for what I would use, wich is normal Mask Latex.........Since latex is pretty flexible and do not need to stay in place like Urethane Resin or any other hard resin to cure.......

Also here some better quality pictures i took with my Cell. Phone:

Australia.. was there really no one closer?

 

[Shoguno]

Heheheh yes there is one in Italia from ALEX TIGER..... but this Cannon was more affordable ....

Hello ..! Quick update , due to lack of finance and materials .... i had to improvise a little bit for my costume .... so I placed the Shoulder cannon already with the 3 lasers but still this is TEMPORARY ......... wich means that when i will have better finances and knowledge, that I will make a "ANIMATRONICS" plasma cannon....I also made a little "Pouch" on the right shoulder to place a "Ceremonial Dagger" and yes it will be a Yautja Dagger....

Quick update without pics this time ...... but a very positive one..... You see guy's in the previous pictures the base of the plasma cannon became very very loose. So I had to find a way to tie it to the Armor Chest plate... fortunately i suddenly thought about reinforcing it with screws .... IT WORKED pretty awesome ....... Now my plasma cannon is strongly attached to the armor!

Greetings Yautja friends! I continued to work on my Jir'Xar costume this weekend, i decided to do a backpack wich i took Wolf backpack as reference....here are the PICS

 

[Jmen]

Looking good!

 

[BlackDog67]

Nice work brother!! if you want cleaner glue lines, instead of the hot glue gun, use a spirit base contact adhesive. Coming on super cool!

 

[Shoguno]

BlackDogJmen thanks guys ! here is a litle first step for the paint of the backpack...........of course I have not finished yet the painting.

 

[Jmen]

It looks like good pre-shading stage) now you can make light base coat, highlights, wash and finish coat. gonna be great

 

[Shoguno]

Yes indeed thanks my friend Jmen that is what i will do.... highlights with some "white gray"

 

[Jmen]

Yes indeed thanks my friend Jmen that is what i will do.... highlights with some "white gray"

Silver with dry brush, i think)

 

[Shoguno]

Jmen yup funny that you mention it because i really used Silver as a base coat...... hehhehe the thing is i need to buy other paints again *sight* lol

 

[Isubomo]

Excellent work Man! It's coming along very nicely!!!

 

[Shoguno]

Isubomo thanks my Yautja Friend..... you too is a fantastic and awesome artist dude.... seriously sometimes i feel lonely but then I keep telling me that one day this will all change for the better! I think the best goal to have is to recreate a high quality replica of the predator....this person/alien that we do not know very well.... I was thinking about this one day earlier, could the Yautja have a society and not only warriors....i mean their technologies is soooooo advanced. There must be some kind of scientists or music even if they are warriors, they should have good values as well....anyway it is just a thought like that .......

 

[ksj]

I think the Yautja just captured some scientists or there are more advanced breeds with better dexterity and vision. A species that only sees in infrared is not really capable of building complex technical pieces...

 

[Shoguno]

Greetings Yautja from all the universe! here is some pics with the chest piece, with the backpack "on" ...

 

[Jmen]

Good progress, mate? Do you plan to make your cannon "animatronic"?

 

[Shoguno]

Hey thanks Jmen ...yes indeed I want it to be animatronics...but not now ..I just want to test this cannon and armor chest piece with the mask and bio helmet first ... after the testing I strongly might do the animatronics...I also let space into the backpack to introduce the sound system...
