Too Excited Not To Share My First Predator Mask & Mod

[METALBEAST]

I tried one hole with an "X" but it didn't look good, then I superglued the dreads to the holes that were already there when I removed the awful plastic "dreads" that came with the mask but I didn't want to cut holes in the mask, then I found a fellow Lair member who cut slits in his and those worked perfectly, tugged on them and they didn't come out. I'm also making my suit so I can attend the school where my wife teaches & treat the kids there, I'm sure they're gonna love it lol

I've got move of my dred rings on. Gonna put the last few on tommorrow after work (after they dry) & hopefully get some pics up this week.

Foamies are wonderful stuff, aren't they? I'm convinced that with enough foamies and enough glue, we can make absolutely anything.

oh you said it sir, all of my armor is going to be made of foamies, if I'd have known about this stuff before I would've started my suit build a long time ago, I am just amazed at all the talent there is out there which in turn has motivated my ideas

I went and did a sort of "Batman" style to the louvers of the medic kit too, change it up a bit, seen everyone has their own style and there isn't a "wrong way" or "right way" to make a suit, they're all unique & awesome.

I went over to my moms to see the progress on my suit so she could make some alterations & work to it, here's a preview of the WIP, I'll take a better pic of it and post later, of course I will airbrush some detail to it once it's done, also are pics of my first ever bomb gauntlet made of foamies, right now they don't have lights but I'm just wanting to get the whole suit done first THEN if I have time I'll look into wiring lights into them for a more authentic look

I have coated them with black Plast-Dip before I decide on the color I am going to go with them

The gaunts are lookin nice.

thank you sir, like I've said you were one amongst many who inspired me, like any noob I hope to get better with time since I have NEVER worked with foamis before, they are actually an awesome material to craft stuff out of

thanks bud, I am very excited myself, everytime I finish a piece or go that extra step is another notch in my goal towards accomplishment, the suit is almost done and soon will be airbrushed with the details too

Looks good man- did you put eyes lenses in? Cant have a P helmet without those

 

[oneuglymf]

Good job man. I started with a rubies suit too back in 08. Keep up the good work. Backpack looks great too!

 

[Double H]

Great start bud, your suit is coming along brilliantly. Nice work on those gauntlets, my first build was AVP last year and its nice to see other peoples work coming along awesomely. Keep it up bud!

I had some in there but they kept fogging up, as it is the visibility is very limited not to mention I will be on 6" of lift so I had to take them out, I might have to spray them with Fog-X to stop that problem though

thank you very much, I had originaly purchased the AVP 3/4 mask but I was not happy with it at all, I just didn't like the look of it not to mention it didn't have the bio, but I was only out $10.00 on it, luckily a local lady had posted her son Rubies Deluxe on a Facebook group where people sell their stuff and she let me have it for $30.00 as well as the suit that came with the armor but I'm not using any of it though

thank you sir, I'm mixing a little of every thing I like from each predator in it, they each have something cool and unique, I like the original P1 but with the longer dreads and the skin paint of P2 but also the elders have that awesome seasoned look as well

and here's a close-up of the suit skin texture, looks dead-on reptilian! It's fabric so it's breathable yet it has that shiny latex look to it AND it stretches, I really lucked out finding it!! I live in Texas so by the time Halloween rolls around we still have very warm weather, so I need it to expell the heat however if it's cold this can still protect from it too. Hope you guys like and I gave someone more ideas too

Wow, I am pretty impressed with the gauntlets! I want to start on some but I have to wait until I make my skins first to make sure they will fit :/ Great method though for sure!

yeah I think they'll fit dead on, I have a way of keeping them in place too, the miracles of hidden velcro lol
