Thought I’d post the custom armor I am making here along with in my suit build thread.  
bio needs the seam line fixing and then  some refining but the bio  and the thigh armor are almost ready for molding.

The paint looks great. That classic silver dirty look. The touch of gold is nice. Reminds me of some of the narin kit paintjob I've seen.

 

Where does the blade lock into?  Got a pic of it staring down the barrel?

Sorry Gene didn’t get a notification, I just finished prepping the blade to be molded. I have a couple of people wanting sets so I’ll be molding asap and I will get you a photo then.

Awesome, are they ones for wolf predator or a different predator. 

They are custom like everything on my customs suit build :)

Gauntlets finished and i settled on a single blade, i just need to finish the blade properly and mold it. but the molds for the gauntlets came out great.

The trailer was epic, I’m surprised how some one managed to get a hold of it, but then Disney took it down, some one must of sneaked the footage out and made a quick trailer if it before they found out about it. 

It was probably released by disney to gauge fans reaction, they will possibly clean up a few bits that didnt go down well. and release it officially shortly. trailers dont get leaked accidently or stolen footage like that anymore.

nope not mine.

Killed this statue Lee!!! I just saw one of these statues on eBay about a month ago. They’re still around. 

Thanks my man, ( sorry for the slow reply ive been in house renovation mode again )

Looking forward to this build Colm.

Just because the parts maybe p2/boar doesnt mean the paint has to be. but im right there with ya, in that ive no idea how im going to paint my suit either.

im sure whichever way you go itll look awesome as always Gene.

What a great statue. Didn't know resin versions where out there floating around.
The word you did was amazing. Turned out great. 

Does the guy still have it? What head ended up on it?

Yeah i think Joe still has it, he got the kit i think from a guy in mexico. he sent me a head he had a month or so after i sent the statue back, so i repainted that to match as best i could.
how it arrived.
 

i know nothing but im happy to try help where i can.  🙂

This was a build i did for a client/friend i think in 2018. he got it in terrible shape with MASSIVE seamlines, parts from several vendors and lots just being damaged.
i think i managed to save it well enough. and couldnt resist putting my silicone P1 head on at the end.

It’s meant to be a base shape to 3D sculpt over. 
all my custom dread rings started with this basic shape. It’s not really intended to be a ring on its own. But hey if you like it so be it 🙂

If this is a 3D file. You can add it to the Files/Download section of the site. We can start building a database of items.

 

 

I thought that is what this section was, and it wouldnt allow me to upload the file here. i will go look for the files section now.

making it up as i go dude, very hopeful of getting the head molded in the next week or so, which will feel like some decent progress.

Great write up Gene. 

Gene, MANN EASE RELEASE 205 will release foam dreads from stone and epoxy ( i have opld stone dread molds here also ), i give it a couple of layers to being, then every other pull i will paint in another layer of release, wait 5 mins or so then cast.

Forgot to post this also. 
 

dreads. I did not want super smooth dreads, so I am making my own textured/pre curved dreads. This was the test mold which I actually used on my new wolf mask. 
i will be duplicating this mold then making 2 more of reduced sizes because casting dreads sucks so multiple molds will make it less painful.

I really debated bringing this name back. I haven't used it for years, not since I left the last iteration of the Lair, but I figured what the hell. Didn't seem right not to, given the parade of old names that brought back a lot of memories.

 

Anyhow, I'm Paul. I live in the UK with my wife and my cat, and I've been lucky enough to turn making stuff into a job. I've been making predator bios since 2000, and it feels simultaneously like a very long time and no time at all. I make a lot of other stuff now, but maybe this will be a kick to get back to some cool pred stuff!

Welcome home Paul.

Thanks Andy, this is something to take the headache out of part of a build 🙂

They questioned and debated if this could or had ever been done.

The silicone wolf proved it could be.  I remember you sculpting this and the determination you had to make it real.  

This elevated the game to new possibilities.

Badass brother... 

 

I remember all the naysayers in 2009, silicone mask can't be done, too hot, too heavy, can't be painted, and that only got worse after i made the suit for some reason.
i just wish id poked more people into going silicone. 

Head is virtually done I am resisting changing anything major, so I just have to chase down details in the next day or so the find time to mold.

Everytime I think you couldn't possibly outdo yourself... you go ahead and outdo yourself again. This is one of my favorite pieces you've ever done man!!! I showed my wife earlier when you shared it on social media. You are so talented man!!!

Youre far to kind 🙂  but thank you none the less.
