Hello every one of the hunters lair.
I have recently joined here and I am always looking for new projects to take on. Have recently started my predator body suit sculpture and will then begin the mask. I know latex is the most common casting medium in these part of costuming but was wondering if there is any interest in a silicone or foam latex body suit and mask? Silicone is better flexibly and despite common belief is not in all cases that much more costly than latex (from my mask making experiences). I also have more experience in silicone than foam latex or latex. Foam latex is used in the movie but I fear will not stand the test of time. At this point I am leaning to silicone but wanted your thoughts. I plan on putting up some progress pics as soon as I can. I will be molding late this month or early next (but I want this one to be perfect). I look forward to your thoughts and will post up some pictures.
Thank you for your time
