Here are some of the suits i've worked in the past. Many my own concept. I realized i like to work on custom projects. Not the same stuff we see now days (not offense to anyone, i just cannot difference who is who anymore lol) *The p2 statue holding the spear was a collaboration between Larry Kidd and I. I'll be uploading photos of the suits every week.

Hello! A couple of weeks ago I went to the aquarium for a private tour and I was amazed by many creatures. One of them being the Moray Eel. I got inspiration from some of its colors and used this as a base for my concept. After many attempts in the past to come up with a bionic predator ( trying different head designs , P1, p2, Elder, on sketches) the Wolf was the one to try. I also did some UV paint highlights, to give it more of a deep sea feel to the creature. Have a nice weekend!! -Chris https://www.instagram.com/inkfxionstudios/

Here's an Elder Predator suit I did for a member of the lair years ago Garopred. I used a set of Pete Manders Predator 1 skins and I believe it was a Scott Marshall Elder Predator head. Had to sculpt some belt buckles miscellaneous bones myself but this was the finished product.o

Long time ago I had the opportunity to get my hands on an Elder head + Ancient Bio. It was a really good trade for me so I took it 😁 Once the mask has arrived I gave it away for the paintjob. I wanted to have him in a red style inspired by this figure I saw online Here are some pictures of the painting process I ordered Beads and Dreads from a local Clan Mate Beads are painted by myself, these days I was really happy with how they turned out I glued the Dreads onto the mask, added a little piercing on the tusk and finished everything, so here's the finished head with Bio Mask Unfortunately I …

Here is my girl, she's pretty old now and resides on a mannequin for display, she's gone through a long process for upgrading parts, if some of you remember I started with a P1 Hurley head and upgraded to a P2 Borg from him, which yeah looks massive on me, cos i'm tiny 😛 Still! She's pretty much retired apart from special occasions, I simply find the Xeno easier to wear. ( i am so out of shape now lmao) Head and Belt- Usurper Gauntlets- Dragonskinstudios Dreads- Bambooie. I can't remember who the claymore, pauldrons, shins and feet came from .

Back in the early days of the lair ... many young spfx artists were caught up in the pred fever. One amazing young artist named Peter Murphy came on to the Lair scene and blew everyone away with his works. I developed a friendship with him, he approached me to ask what predator piece he should try.. he had already done a predator 1 a few years earlier.. Over the course of a month discussed and I shared whatever studio images I could give along with high res images from the film. Only 3 were made, to small to wear 1 for him ..1 for Larry kidd, 1 for me .. I asked Larry to paint mine and I finished the detailing.. Every piece has a story behind it…

Back in the day we were all amazed by the incredible builds by an artist by the name of Pete Mander. Pete would go on to make one of the early Predator Fan Films SEED. He filled the film with an assortment of original Predator designs. Eventually those suits would be sold off, and they sort of disappeared… flash forward a few more years, let’s say circa 2008 and I discovered a random Craigslist ad for a Predator suit about 2 hours north of me. The pics were horrible, but I thought I recognized a distinct crimson armor .. I had to investigate and to my delight I discovered one of my favorite fan made suits, the Bad Blood Predator. It was a bit thrashed but I took it home a…

Brothers and sistas!!!..Ok here goes... I had this idea..😆 (reason I laugh is that usually means trouble for many).. Anyhow the idea was, what was the elder before he became the one we all know from P2?.. So I used my project manager skills I had to assemble one of the best build teams ever. It was me, sandy collora, David pea, Larry kidd, Scott Paige and a few others. I got a raw pull of the dead end suit I arraigned for sandy send the molds to david . David pea sculpted the headpiece and i worked with Larry to come up with they early greyback paint design... not many photos existed of its true color so we decided to go with a lighter tone grey. St…
