First of all, nice to see you around again Bryan!

Damn dude, this collection is just amazing. Huge score on that alien cocoon. I've always loved the palette colors of the hounds. Totally badass brother!

One of the holy grails of pred masks. Bar none.

Thanks brother. I remember painting that for Steve. Wow! had to be at least 5 years ago. Great skins to work with bro. beautiful sculpt.

Actually i was able to dig and find a couple shots of that suit.

A while back i built a P2 suit for someone who owns screen used P2 chest armor, gauntlets and bio. So i had to build everything else for the display.

I used Chuck's P2 skins and a SM P2 head.

Chris.

Working on gautlets now. Aiming to finish this build by the 20th. I have something prepared, to take this build up a notch. If it works, of course lol.

Way to knock this one out of the park Gene. In all the years working on predators that's one of the bios i still have not worked on, definitely  have to change that soon.

Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to all the new projects that are coming in the future from you.

Wow!! What a neat trick taking all of the cut offs and reusing them a badass way.

Ever used Cabo patch?

@Ptgreek taught me how ages ago. It's great for Sean repairs and would lend itself well to this scaring.

 

Thanks for sharing this trick Chris. I can see this in my future. 

Thanks Gene. I've never used cabo patch, but i'll make sure to check it out. Def good info.

Here is a bit of the process one how i modify or add scars to a mask/suit - in this case i had  to create an Ahab mask for a client.

After washing the mask with soap and water, i clean it with alcohol. Then used latex flashing ( i always save them, when cutting the excess latex of a mask or suit), to create the scar. Using crazy glue i apply them one by one. Then filled up any small gaps with cotton dipped in latex and shape the scar a bit more by giving the illusion of stretch out skin. The next step is adding a nice coat of liquid latex to smooth and seal the wound.

After that is just adding the dreads and the painting process. I will try to make a short tutorial on how i paint mask/skins in the future for whoever is interested.

Thank you guys, it means a lot. There's always room to improve. 

Andrew, as i said before the visit to Larry's house was a life changing experience as an artist. So thanks to both of you. 

Happy that all of us keep this monster alive 🙂

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. 

Thanks, a lot of patience. About 15 hrs of laying down spots and colors. All spots are freehanded as well.

Yes, skins are from Chuck.

Head is a SM

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.

Been following this build for a while. It looks awesome dude. The details on the beads are sweet!

I honestly couldnt think of anyone else who could fit this build than you. Is gonna be beast!

This is a such a solid build.  The head sculpt looks mean as hell. Love it.

Chris!!! Welcome back to the jungle brother. Can’t wait to see what you bring,you have always continued to put together and paint some seriously rad suits over the years. 

Thanks dude, die hard fans like you keep me inspired to bring the best of me on every build. We definitely gotta suit up and finally the east will meet the west hunters 🙂
