My First Predator Costume - Female (W.i.P)

[Rha Grioto]

Added buckles at the back that will attach the calf to the shoes to minimise my foot moving about. Still needs sanding before priming.

Started work on the chest piece. I can't go with a canon style piece because of my boobs =.= Its taken a lot of alteration to even get it to this stage. It clips up with 2 adjustable buckles on the back. The front middle section is joined together with some thin, brown leather straps (similar to what hold AvP Pred thigh armour to the leg). The two circles are placeholders for now until I work out a better design.

The chest and belt (including the thigh plates and cod piece), sitting on my mannequin. I also added the leather straps to the thigh plates to help keep them attached to my leg. They do up with velcro on the inside of each thigh plate. I also carved in the lines at the bottom of each thigh plate.

Bit of an update of where the armour sits.

The start of under suit painting! This is my first time attempting anything like this. I started with a plain white morphsuit and had one of my friends with similar proportions to me, wear it while I painted. Pictured are first few coats/base skin colours.

Will have better shots up with me in the under suit soon!

Closer photos of the first few coats for the under suit and also put on my netting! I was so excited to try it on Still have to add more muscle definition and spots.

 

[Rha Grioto]

While I had my under suit on, I also decided to take some shots with the armour I've made so far.

 

[Rha Grioto]

I forgot to post about my left (computer) gauntlet. I made the display with some balsa wood and black card. On the underside of the black card, I have attached red cellophane. Inside the gauntlet I have a motion sensor light strip which activates when the gauntlet is opened, and turns off when the lid is closed.

Wow, moving right along. This will be done in no time. Looks great!

Thank you! Quite a lot is done, I'm just slow to update

 

[predator666]

looking very well

 

[Rha Grioto]

Changed the design on my chest piece and decided to add some leather cross-shoulder straps for aesthetic purposes as well as stability.

 

[Rha Grioto]

Priming done, heres the beginning of painting! First few coats of 'Aluminium' colour as a base coat.

First few coats of 'Aluminium' on my chest piece.

 

[Rha Grioto]

After the 'Aluminium' pain base coats, I sprayed some matte black on top to give some more definition and make the armour look used. A comparison between the 2 gauntlets before and after the matte black.

coming along nicely.

Nice...

 

[A Hunters Moon]

Looking good. You can always lightly sponge different silvers and grays on there as well. I'd suggest a water/acrylic mix since spray paint can dry too fast. With the edge of the sponge you can get down in the platelets grooves and make each one pop a bit more. Nice work so far.

Thanks for the advice These are just the first few coats. I'll be going back later to work on the finer details
