Hello everyone! Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Ian and I am from Perth, Australia. I have wanted to start my Predator build for many a year now and finally thought now is the time. Really looking forward to seeing everyones builds and hopefully gaining some helpful tips along the way. If there are any Predator gatherings happening in Perth at any stage, I would love to be a part of it. Happy building!

Hello my Name is Georg from germany and I work with leather. Medieval Leather armor is my passion but I also craft modern and Medieval Belts, wallets, bags, masks almost everything you can make from leather.. now I recently built a Predator Bio Helmet from leather. It's just a first try. What do you guys think ?20221111_104941.thumb.jpg.369b658db01849f3c44506cef9840d12.jpg20221111_105017.thumb.jpg.d43eed3cf34112a9c6fd2b3358cd8ed9.jpg

It's been a long time and didn't think I'd see "The Hunter's Lair" back again.  My original username was "munson" and thought I'd keep it the same.

Hi.  I think I was Turuk'eya on the original site and Fayne on theRPF.  I think I joined around 2010 and had some pages on bios I was sculpting.  I only finished 1 of 3 as life got in the way then after yrs a semi decided to plow through my car.  I'm finally doing some suits.  I got a P2esque one from predatrhuntr @ nightmarefx on Etsy and the last p1 from corefx/predatorskin before he stopped making them.  Not sure who got the molds.

I have a lot to do for these 2 characters but these guys got me well on my way.  The wolf bio I was sculpting is still around and I really like the shape so it's likely gonna be its own thing instead of wolf and finally get done 2024.  Fingers crossed.  Doing a set of hurried hands for the P2 just to get him done with the plan of making better ones after the suits are done.  Left hand has 2 colors of rubber so far and both will have a lot left to do even as a hurry job.

Hello Fellow Predator Fans,

   I am VeteranHunter75, first part because I am a US Army Combat Veteran, second Hunter for Predator and third my Birth year. I am a returning member , because it had been so long since I logged in my previous account that I forgot all of my info. So a little bit about me, I am a resident of Commie California, have been a fan of the Predator franchise ever since I saw the first movie back in 1987. Of all of the Predator films, my favorite has got to be Predator 2. Even though the original Predator was awesome, I just love how badass the second Predator is with his whole look, Bio Helmet, head design and all of his awesome weaponry.  One of my favorite scenes in the movie is after Harrigan wakes up the Predator, then the Predator takes his shotgun and destroys it like nothing. The look of the Predator as he is coming for Harrigan is just pure AWESOMNESS. I have always wanted to do a Predator 2 costume, but don't know where to begin. I look forward to learning ways to one day create a Predator 2 suit.

Hello everyone.

My name is Julien "Stonewall" and I live in Belgium. I have been a member of the 501st for 10 years. I have 5 SW costumes. For a very long time I have been closely following everything related to the world of Predators.
I started to gather information to maybe start a Jungle Hunter costume (1987). For cosplay first.
It is difficult for me to find information, because all the FB pages and Forum are in English, and it is almost impossible to have contact with French speakers.
For the material also it is always a bit of an unknown!
Sorry for the language mistakes!

Have a nice day,

Ju

Thanks for your words.

I will try to make a simple but fairly faithful costume. I don't know the EVA FOAM method at all. I will probably try a 3D print construction, because I have already worked with this method.

I chose the Jungle Hunter model from 1987. It's from my time, I was 20 years old 😁

Hello everyone. I'm new to this, and I'm creating a suit from scratch. My goal is to create a comfortable, dynamic, and realistic suit. I hope to improve over time based on tips and techniques. My goal within the community is to share experiences throughout the process, get support, and help out as much as I can.

Best regards.

Hello everyone,  longtime Predator fan and was lucky enough to see it on the big screen when it first came out. No matter how many times I watch Predator I always find something new. I have just started to ‘accurise’ - is that a word? - An HCG Jungle Hunter  Plasma Cannon.  I’m looking to share and gain knowledge from the members here. 
 

All the best                                             Wilsy

Hey everyone. Pred fan since the beginning of franchise. Planning on my first costume, and because of expenses, trying to make as much as I can from scratch. I can't wait to share whatever little progress I make, soon. 🙂

Greetings all,  I've wanted to make a predator ever since I was in college and a friend of mine had an awesome one. I've been costuming with 501st and other groups since 2009. I recently got a 3d printer and started playing around with making the weapons and such.  The biggest challenge I feel I'm going to face is getting a proper looking head / mask. I have no real painting skills so that will be another one. but I'm here to learn and maybe just maybe make my own some day
