Saying goodbye to my Predator costume for now, and on to Robocop

[oneuglymf]

Hi Guys. Have been lurking and reading for quite some time. Thought it was about time to post up some stuff and motivate myself to try and achieve some of the greatness I see other members of the RPF attaining. WOW I must say you guys are inspirational.

For the past 4 years I have perfecting my Predator costume, and I think I've taken it as far as I can. Just for fun, here's a video of me groovin in my full suit.

I obtained a Hansing Robocop 1 Helmet, and found out after the fact that it is a poor recast, so I will be starting from scratch using the Pepakura Method. I don't support recasting in any way. and with so many great resources on here, I hope I can do it myself and still get a professional looking result. You guys make it look easy, LOL!

I've been reading up on the builds and pep info from Camtrack and BlackKaos, very great work and really detailed.

Here are some shots I did using both my Pred costume and the Hansing knock off helmet that I did for a Stan Winston Studios Facebook contest depicting robotic deconstruction. I hope you like them.

Any advice, tips or tricks are welcomed, and thanks for taking the time to read my post. I look forward to sharing my challenges and successes with you all.

Scored some nice pieces from "The Keeper" here on the RPF.

Here is what I have so far. I just lost my job so I may have to part with them soon, but it is what it is I guess.


I'm told they are Hansing Made
