Hi guys, don't know if I've posted in the right thread or not ( hope so ) I'm Paul from the Uk and new to this forum but not costuming or costume building. Been a huge fan of sci fi for ages now and built my first costume in 04 which was based on the original Predator. Since then I've built a few other costumes from other films and have just finished my idea of a full armoured Pred. It's taken a fair few hours, numerous fits of " jeez I've had enough! " or " Whens it gonna end? " but after blood, sweat and tears I finally completed it two weeks ago! the main armour I designed and built myself, the mask, bio, gaunts, hands, feet and shin armour were bought. I used card board templates for the over all armour design, then fibreglass matted and resined the inside and outter to give it strength. In some places I used gel coat to achieve a veiny bio organic look on some of the armour pieces, then painted with gun metal grey and aged with boot polish then finally sealed. Anyway I thought I'd share it with you guys and see what you think of it? I've put up a couple pf photo's which were taken last week and it was the first time I had ever put it on and within five mins had loads of kids and adults swarmin for pic's, jeez I was buzzin! I look forward to chattin with you guys and to read your comments or any suggestions you have that may improve my work.Thanks for lookin guys!!
