Question: Size added by a skin?

[hez1]

Hey all, not being very experienced with the soft parts on a pred, I was wondering how much size I can expect to add to my own measurements (chest size, arm and leg diameter etc) when I'm wearing a skin? Being pretty slim, will I need to pad out a skin inside to wear it properly?

You can always add extra latex pieces for length and/or patch work. Foam works to fill the muscle gaps inside of the skin as well,but if you plan to cut down on a skin do it when the skin is raw so you can cut then overlap the latex and glue or sew to your size.

I am very slim too, Hez. What I do is wear one of those cheesy Halloween muscle shirts under my Predator skin, and it fills out the space between me and the latex suit skin. For the legs, I do what Kithunter recommended to me years ago and wear some BDU shorts with both cargo pockets and front pockets filled with the fiberfil pillow stuffing. Then I have a piece of sheet foam cut to place right across the front of my thigh under the latex, so the latex doesn't wrinkle and creates more of a flat look. Essentially placing the foam sheet in front of my leg pushes my real legs to the rear inside the latex skin so they're actually sitting along the backside of the latex Predator leg.
