Newbie Working On My First Predator Costume

[TitanPredator]

Hey guys, I'm getting all my materials together to finally start on my own pred costume and since I'm not too knowledgable in clay sculpting yet I will be using the deluxe Rubies predator mask with some slight modifications, however I want to make my own mask maybe even as soon as this years Halloween but I am wondering what material do all the "elders" in here recommend for making the bio mask, I want to stick with the same mask from the original P1, (I like the classic look but with longer dreads). Thankfully I do have an artistic side and I'm big on detail so I can pretty much envision what I want and see already not to mention my mom is one hell of a seamstress who's going to do my body suit, I just haven't been able to find the best way to mold & sculpt the bio mask, thank you anyone for pitching in and helping this fellow "Pred Head"

thank you 1elder, I have already found some very helpful & interesting tips from many fellow pred heads on here & youtube particulary one guy who IMO not only did a fantastic job on feet but did them so easily & cheap too, the link is down below and I think his costume looked great, i hope I can pull off something that looks that good for my first time

I just wish i had the time to build mine from scratch but for the most part I work out of town so i only have the weekends to work on my suit so I'm buying pieces and hoping it will all come together .

I've decided I'm gonna go ahead & sculpt my own mask, I think I can do it as far as the bio goes, I think I'm gonna go with fiberglass on it and hopefully I can get it to look decent
