My first AVP Scar suit

[ablary]

Hey everyone,
Thought id share my first predator suit, unsure of the maker, got this off ebay and planning to use this as reference but couldn’t resist wearing it to get a feel. I always prefer to put my suits together.
This is an awesome looking suit but I found it very difficult to move around and breath – something to take into consideration with my next build. And I found latex props more comfortable than resin.
Also the gauntlets still need work – as you can see, I used basic rubber bands to hold them in place for now.
As some of you may know, I have made and put together Batman/spawn props for awhile now and looking to expand my horizons and networks. So stay tuned for the next build
Cheers,
Lary

Looks great mate!

Whereabouts in Oz are you? I'm really hoping to have my suit done by the time Armageddon's on in Melbourne, might have to start organizing something with other aussie members.

Hello mate, i think it is better to use a bit of dark silver or dark gray, for darken parts of the armour, to make it more real, a little more used, fought, dated (I hope to make you understand) you used the flash of photocamera but it seems too bright, but you did a great job, gz!!

As much as I would like to take credit for it, I didn’t paint this costume, it does have an awesome paint job though, the metal colour is pretty good and detailed. But since these were taken indoors at around 11pm with flash – it has significantly altered the colour.
but I do understand where your coming from Andrea and agree with you

 

[Crazy Hunter]

I like it very much as I love AVP. Super costume have you.

Most likely I won't be, not this year anyway. But I'll see if I can start going to other states in the next couple of years.

 

[ablary]

yeah same here, I have been planning on attending Gencon but never got around to it - hopefully next year for me!

 

[TK-J]

I was at Gencon a couple of years ago, with the 501st tho. Had a blast. I can't go this year, but will try next year.
