I received these images from the prop builder of this piece... Sharing

Yes sir I did sculpt the codpiece. Made from hot glue poured into a insta mold...fast easy method!! Blade housing was from the p1 Morris I think?... designed the blades(sketched on a napkin..lol) Leatherwork , dred rings, foot build up and all accessories took the most time...

Welcome 1st timer.!!!!... kick back and enjoy

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. Steve wang suggested we use rubber stamping inks and Larry set about paint while I focused on the armor (Scott Paige) screen used P2 dred rings and all million details... Tweaked over time I perfected the look I wanted.. Long winded post but wanted to share just part of it...took 4 years to complete big chunk o life!!!. Anyhow here is the pics of the build that I saved.. Enjoy The Marzan Elder Build team Myself/Larry kidd/David Pea/sandy collora/nick alvarez/Scott Paige And the Stan winston Team for their P2 and P1 components I've been rocking it since 2005?.... lol long ass time..

This has to be the 1st crossover build... I can't think of one prior

This build set the bar for so many builds to follow.. Fucking love this suit, its such an amazing build scott.

This is from Steve Johnson...the original Predator monster... my life would have been different..lol Jean claude

Recently some behind the scenes images I've never seen have come to light.. Figured what better place to share

Can I say it looks sexy?... cause it does

Welcome everyone.... Can't tell you how cool it is to see the reaction to the relaunch of the lair...we are all so beyond thrilled everyone is having that deep affection for this place. We all feel that the lair was more than just a forum but a place we felt became part of us.. our passion, our craft and one of the most creative forces in our lives. Let's spread the word to 4 corners ...all the Hunters throughout the world have a home here.. The lair is back... and I'm so excited for all of us and the future..

The hunt!!...2007 Architectural firm i worked for built this set for a Halloween design competition design inspired by AVP 500 STYROFOAM carved and weathered by crew in photo blocks 2 month build

Iceman..... your paint ups are legendary bro

I know gene... I was like where the hell is he??...ok ill take one for the team. Sorry brother

Ok hunters Long time ago I had a dream to see if we could gather as many suits in one spot at one time and call it an unofficial PREDACON... The date is set Dragon CON 2023 Chime in if you think you can make it..

I've been a massive kiss fan all my life... so I had the idea of what if a predator enjoyed the music while surfing the cosmos.. I worked out the design with my bro ICEMAN to visualize and paint up some kiss inspired bios... Ace Frehley fucking loved it!!!!

long time has passed since I shared my crazy adventures in this hobby, here goes... I'll keep adding to this post just want to kick start this section

This what this place is all about ...concept to creation...damn sweet gene

That was so much fun... man this is cool

Hi Andrew (Kithunter) Since I was a kid I always loved spfx makeup, monsters and visual effects. Always drawing never thinking I could break into the world I loved and artists I admired. 1987 October Predator the movie that changed the course of my life. I set about building my suit not knowing how but knew I had to try. so fast forward to 2001.. I found some prop forums the focus was more on star wars, trek and more 'popular' genres. Exciting times i thought why not create a place for the few of us to share our approach to the builds... I created the Hunters lair. It gave a home to the brothers and sisters throughout the world to share our passions. The founding members you see here created a world that now has spread to the 4 corners of the earth...and the motherworld.. The Lair is back.... long love the true Hunters lair. Massive Thank you to Lee Hurley, Scott Irby and meanest sweetest guy Gene Frechette. You guys are just the best... so good to see all of you guys back George Damon, iceman, colm. My brothers in this 20+ year journey Andrew
