Just finished up another Elder Predator sword. This one's already sold if anyone's interested I have enough material to make one more.

I bought this bio some years ago (I dont remember who/where from!) and have only just started work on it. Some of the details on it seem quite a bit different to most P1 Bios I've seen, mainly the laser module sticks out rather than being recessed, and the tube details on the opposite side also differ. The details on the whole bio seem a bit "soft" also. Does anyone know the origin of this bio?

Greetings all! I wanted to break down the process of how I created my elder predator bust/mask for anyone who was ever interested in trying to do something similar. Ultimately, the idea stems from the creation of the original elder and how those talented artists at Stan Winston Studios brought the predator known as Greyback to life. Utilizing a head from the original predator film, they modified the mask by adding foam latex prosthetics to give the creature minor variations that set it apart from the Jungle Hunter as seen in P1. I decided to do the same. Using one of my own P1 masks that I sculpted (the process of which can be read here... htt…

Greetings all! I wanted to take a moment and actually put down the beginning to end process I went through recently over the course of a month and a half to create my P1 mask. Choosing to sculpt the head out of WED clay, I purchased a 25 lb bag (and toward the end a second 25 lb bag to make sure I had enough) and jumped right in. This was my first project on this scale so I scoured the Lair, other threads, message boards, videos, and anywhere else I could gather information to prepare for the task. I wanted the head to be as accurate to the original as I could, so I tried to find as many images as possible and was fortunate to have some members he…

Project Jungle Hunter is meant to be an old school Hunter's Lair build project. We are so fortunate to have this ultracal mold of the original predator. The mold having been made at Stan Winston's shop back in the day of an original head. Doesn't get any closer to the original than this. But he has no mandibles... Well that's where we come in. Let's rebuild it in whatever ways we want. Enjoy. This will be fun to follow.

Can anyone please help me with the dimensions of a boar helmet?I am trying to 3d print one. It's in 2 pieces, so I need the length of the dome. From center brow area to center tip at the top. Thanks in advance.

So few have asked how I hang my Bio Helmets on the wall; Well here's a small tutorial on how I do it. Supplies can be bought a Home depot or Lowe's. Now the Insta-set I've purchased it on Amazon but I've also found it at Hobby Lobby and Warhammer shops. It's best to work on one side at a time Once everything is cured you can hang it up. I use decorative hanging hooks; they seem more sturdy. Few helmets I own have been hanging for Years done this way. Not recommended for HCG Helmets or Sideshow helmets <weight>

hi, new predator here. just wanted to introduce myself. finishing my suit soon

What’s up, I am new to the predator cosplay and really want to be lead in the right direction on a costume. I love all things horror, Halloween and of course predator 🤩

Greeting fellow Predheads, former member from 2003. It's great to see the the Lair up n running again!! Back in the day I was never able to get a full suit up n running.

That being said Im looking forward to putting together my first P1 suit once and for all. RLTW!!

Okay so I’m in need of a shoulder pack and would like to make one dose anyone have templates , or suggestions? Nothing 3D printed I know there are many options for that but looking to try somthing new . Any suggestions or anyone who makes them do hit me up thank you

We all learn. Sometimes from others. Sometimes the hard way. Today I learned the hard way. I got this P1 with plans to make I a movie accurate version. Story goes as follows. 1. Months ago, primed it with Rust-Oleum automotive primer. Primer dried. But the primer cracked horrifically. Like a dry lake bed. I blamed my prep work and body filler. The cracking was frustrating so the project sat on the healing bench till this week. Wanted to get it on my wall. 2. Took the helmet off the shelf. Sanded ALL the cracking away. Got it smooth. Ready for paint. 3. Painted with the same primer. Got the sam…

Way back in 2000-2001 I sculpted my first Bio helmet. Humble beginnings. 🙂 We are start somewhere and I wanted to show my embarrassingly amateurish sculpture. Was sculpted over a home depot spray foam base. Used Roma Plastilina Clay. The basic idea was a segmented armor helmet that had a "samurai" vibe to it. I ended up getting silly with the paint. Blue and lots of dots. The reason I am putting it here is that the helmet was molded using Silicone Caulking tubes. They are cheap, readily available and can render a quick helmet. A good entry level practive project before you graduate to expensive silicones. The idea being. Make all your mistakes an…

Merry Christmas to you all!! Have a safe holiday.

I wanna wish everyone a happy new and hope all goes well for 2024. It’s been an honor for me to be a part of this community. And I welcome everyone my new predator suit!

Hello Hunters!!! I wanted to share my WIP of a statue for a client's collection. Since nowdays is hard to find the right parts, specially for a Mr. Black (no skins, chest or shoulder armor) i was pointed on the direction of Tony Ackerman and scored some armor from him. I am using p2 skins as a base, p1 head. I am using as inspiration not the Berserker suit how it was in the movie, but how it is now. At the KNB studio. If it still there... thought i saw it getting auctioned, anyways lol To the video. Regards Chris (inkfxtionstudios)

This project started with my acquiring a Silicone mold for sale. The mold was from a Brandon Croslin sculpture of a P1 bio. The sculpture appears to have lineage with George's fabled P1 Stunt bio. (P1 stunt - original helmet from the movie castings taken directly from the mold made by stan winston) I spoke with Brandon about the helmet and its origins. He stated the helmet was a sculpt from around 2012 or so, he sold a few and then sold the mold off to Julie Spehar. Julie has since sold it to me. The helmet is a very nice sculpt. Very symmetrical. The typical warped eyes and back fins have been corrected. The only downside to the bio was the surface w…

Hello all. I'm building the computer/bomb gauntlet for a friend, and trying to figure out how to do the electronics, particularly the countdown timer. I've bought PCB kits and assembled them without problem for other props (such as the Ghostbusters Proton Pack), however I'm not sure the best (and least expensive) way to do the gauntlet's electronics. As a note: I've never done anything with arduino or anything similar. I also at times have a tendancy to over-think and over-complicate things that should be relatively simple. So far the easiest thing I can think of is just to get an old used phone and build the gauntlet around that, but I'd also rather h…

Hello hunters, just wanted to wish you guys a happy Thanksgiving.

Looking for set and hands and feet to finish my predator anyone know of some one selling

Adi just uploaded a savage behind the scenes video there on their YouTube channel. Prey behind the scenes

Hi guys, Im planning on doing 1/2 silicone busts and wanted to reach out for help to the experts on the forum. I can find platinum silicone locally, but no pigments and ordering online is sadly not really an option. Can oil paint or grinded chalk pastels be used to pigment the silicone?

I play with midjourney ai when im on lunchbreak, made a couple of bios and i really liked this one so im gonna try sculpt it, i still dont know how to call it

Latest Project - Gloss Black Predator P1 Bio-Helm with close aligned Red lasers and glowing red eyes that fade out when switched off rather than instant off, just like in the movie. The fade is controled by an electronic circuit inline with the power, never seen this done before on a bio-helm so had to make one up myself.

OK assume you have a fresh Bio-helm, you wanna fit Glowing eyes, lasers and an MPU6050 Gyroscopic Head Tracking Unit to it. 1. The helm is going to be used as a seperate helm to the latex head piece, as in it's held on by magnets and you can remove it completely. So, You're all suited up and you have the controls concealed within the suit - probably touch switches in the gloves or hidden switches elsewhere on the suit, Question here is - How do you make all the connections from the suit to the helm just by putting the helm on your head? (There are 8 connectins to be made!) OR..... Does it all need to be self contained within the helm and wifi/b…
