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

My guy with the plasma cutter ran into some issues he still has plans to do them but it's probably going to be another month. I'm actually thinking about making these next two out of aluminum cuz I can tool that pretty much like I do the wood and after sanding with a fine sandpaper and polish they will nice and shiny still made out of metal but lightweight

I figured I'd make a post about how I make my Elder Predator swords. Start off with a sheet of wood a quarter inch thick. A replica of a human finger bone and human fingers. Leather for the handle few beads and some leather string. Some cutting sanding drumming and paint to make them look like Steel. Bingo Bango and the final result.

Had enough materials to make two more hoping to have them done by the weekend.

Working on another one if anyone's interested in snatching one up.

Thank you Lee

Going to be a couple months delay now on the steel blades the guy I'm getting them from can't get to them for a couple more months sometime around maybe February. Getting ready to work on another wood one if anybody's interested in one

Got some steel ones in the works too should be done and available very soon. Blades are being cut beveled and polished. Need to put some funds together to buy some materials and handles and I will have some available in steel as well.

Yeah looks like he's got the never-ending bio paint jobs. But if I'm still making them when you're ready I'd gladly make you one

Got another one in the works if anyone's interested to maybe have one before Halloween.

That picture is actually an old picture of mine. It was a set of Pete Manders old torso skins it was cast in a blackish latex it was a second generation of his seed skins I believe and he molded it with his gauntlets attached for the second round . and the Torso armor was made by Carl Toti.

Hey Gene, I made a custom Armature for that one I took the top half of a male mannequin and took the hooks for the arms and glued them inside of some 2-in PVC pipe with a couple elbows for the bend at the elbow so it would hold it out like that and screwed it to a 2x4 platform with a plywood base. Put one arm on so I can slide it up and then stuck the other arm in with the back of the suit open and clipped it into the socket and velcro the back of the suit up so I could paint it. The second one I had a flexible torso where the arms were bendable and made of a fabric. I wish I never sold that one some guy used it for a Star Wars display. The legs I basically did the same thing some PVC pipe I still have that and then I just stuffed it with plastic bags I'll have to look and see if I can find any pictures of that that was a long time ago.

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

Thank you for the compliment hopefully I can do a couple more here soon. Along with some of my Elder swords in steel instead of wood.

Thanks bud it was my pleasure to make it for you.

Other than weathering the blade a little bit another one in the books.

Working on another one should be done today

Awesome let me know when you're ready. Got two going right now hopefully I can get the second one sold. But I can do another one at any time

He posted on his Facebook page that it felt good to get into that suit. It does look a little big and wrinkled on him. Unless he knows somebody personally on the film crew and maybe they let him try it on

That's the guy who won one of the seasons of Face Off. I didn't think he made that I thought he was wearing the screen used suit

Working on a couple of them right now. One already sold.

Thank you Gene glad to do one for you

Yep I'm hoping to have 2 done by the end of this weekend. One is already sold to Gene.
