Youre welcome, and thanks for the kind words.

Sure, heres a couple .

Oh I forgot it fits my 2010 silicone P1 and my silicone elder fine. Neither of these have magnets as yet so I guess it’s testament to the fit/general shape.

Video will go up tomorrow on social media, ill link here, but lair gets photos 1st 🙂

Finished. I’m jaded with the same ole pred builds and colors so went chargrilled 😂 and yay for my smoke machine still working

haha 30 questions, 3d sculpt i dont know i rarely keep time of things as i bounce between commissions and projects all the time, id happily bet its way quicker than sculpture because symmetry can be turned on in the program so you technically only work one side. plus i know alot of times waste molds are made then a resin copy is made and body shopped to the final form before molding. i did that with my 1st and second rebreathers. The print took i believe around 18 hrs per half ( it was printed in 2 ) on my elegoo jupiter resin printer. The 3d print is way way heavier than the cast, the cast weighs in at 883 grams with the eyes not cut out, i didnt cast it super thick and i feel the weight to wear wouldnt be much of a issue, i MAY cast one in fiberglass to see how much it cuts down but i am not sure its worth the hassle. the resin print is packed away but id happily guess it was double the weight. The surface of them look different as the cast has the above-mentioned powder applied to the mold, so being silver it picks up shadows and light differently to a matte grey finish, if i did cast in grey there would be nothing different to notice other than a slight shade variance.

Been making predator props for a minute. But I had never made a bio before . Made in zbrush, the first cast came out yesterday. I powdered the mold with jacquard silver powder but think I will primer it and may go another route with paint other than mainly silver. Photos in reverse order the head it is on is my 2010 silicone p1. But it should fit my custom mask when I get one cast.

i dig the old school kit bashing.

Looking great Dwyane.

Half open mouth I’ll give ya haha. kit should retire his whole suit and build a new one. So should all the old handers actually. bunch of slack jawed fa…..nboys.

Thanks 🙂 Many moons ago, pretty sure i can do better 🙂

not sure i ever explained, but the basic shape was a clay pour of the front of my silicone p1 from 2010, i then went in and changed the outer crown dread lugs to ridges, and there are in fact 2 inner ridge lines which do not show on the photos i guess. i then changed the forehead slope, nose slope and mandible heights before starting to get down and dirty with details. i literally used no reference off any other preds for this, just tried to stay faithful and be different at the same time to the P1. 🙂

Its nothing like David Peas sculpt, which is essentially smooth, this has a inner layer of ridges along with a lot of detailing and forms Davids does not have.

Honestly, i never thought i would, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut. after this is molded i am straight onto the P2, and then i may revisit the P1, and then another custom lol.

Welp the time is finally here, tomorrow I start molding this guy, may take me a couple of days as I’ve been sick for what feels like foreveeeeeer. And as usual freekote lifft is my release agent of choice if you’re not using it on your sculpts, do so . I take thanks in the form of tequila 😎

I recall reading somewhere that the bio was Gold to begin then different weathering and aging applied. i did similar ( but not as heavy on my 1st infinity gauntlet , using MTN metallic gold then FW inks over the top. BUT there are many many ways to do this, this is just my thoughts as you asked.

couple more completed 🙂

Never been a fan of bright colored bios or Preds for that matter. until this. And that’s because the color is executed well. Not super bright and obviously I love heavy weathering. congrats now get on with the rest of the suit

Single blade setup is SICK !!!

Recast yourself 😂
