Hey members of thehunterslair!
me (NeXus 6 from germany) started by reading a lot of the articles here in the forum and deceided then to build my own pedator1 costume...
Here are the results... The pics with the full suit, armor, bones, feet etc. on will follow !
I documented most of the steps (lost some of the early pics) and now I like to share this with this great great community! ...and sorry for my por english :-/
>
1. Bought some cheap neoprene surfer shoes & a can of polyurethane foam (uised for sealing windows...)
2. Stuffed the shes with some old socks ans sprayed the foam all around the shoe
3. let it dry (some water sprayed on the foam helped to speed up the process)
4. cut out the basic form auf the P1-Feet, then get step by step closer to the final look
5. make some nails from FIMO, insert a thin piece of plastic (old yoghurt pot) to get a slit in the FIMO
6. FIMO in the ofen, get it out glue the plastic peace in there
7. sand the foam
8. put latex on (2 - 3 layers of thik latex paste)
9. let it dry then cut slits in the latex and foam, plug the FIMO-nails with plstic strip in there (hot clue)
10. paint it with acylic paints, I used airbrush colors
11. Seal it with LIQUITEX MATTE VARNISH (I prefered matte cos I didnt like the shiny style...)

3. pull leg out and stuff it with paper or old clothes or something

5. put some filler / surfacer / putty on the cast to create a surface
6. Cut it up/down in a nice shape and around to cut the lower part from the rest

Basically I followed the wonderfull Mr.-I tutorial(!)
I just discovered that the suit shrings arount 10 %, so buy a suit with a little space!
1. Make a tape dummy
2. cover the whole suit with thick latex paste not the thin milk 2 times
3. cut the chest with a sharp knife and fill the muscles a little bit with foam rubber / sponge rubber and stitch it togehter
4. Create more body muscles (8-pack) with cutton pads and styrofoam balls for pimples / spots / hickeys
5. put latex on by tapping the latex with a piece of soft foam rubber on the suit min. 2 times
6. use colored latex to paint the big areas, like the dark back, its way better then airbrushing everthing later on
7. paint the whole suit with airbrush (semi-transparentI) color mixed with PROS-AID adhesive
8. For the big areas like the back, I used a pattern t get these black / brown stains
9. after finishing with the paint seal the suit with LIQUITEX MATTE VARNISH or PERMA-WET GLOSS Coating
10. Throw a (fishing) net with a 35-45 mm mesh size over the suit closed starting with the legs
11. Leave a V-cut out pen in the back to get in to the suit
12. dummy stuff out and wear it

6. create a key keyhole kind of mounting socket (to be able to take of the big medi kit)
