Der Rabenvater Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 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 ? 2 Quote
MeanGene Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 Welcome everyone! Glad to have you. That leather work is great. @Bovine13 does lots of leatherwork also. Maybe can check him and his wife on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/relic.finery/?fbclid=IwAR2XpKUA8gDvzlJrxeuA9xfJKQzxxr_Ec0cGZGlEJX69Rz8CgH825J7wUdI Could see these pieces working really well as Predator armor. 1 Quote

Turukeya Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 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. 3 Quote

VeteranHunter75 Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 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. 1 Quote

Ju Stonewall Posted March 4 Posted March 4 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 2 Quote

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 😁 2 Quote

Wilsy Posted May 21 Posted May 21 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 1 Quote

Mathius Posted June 5 Posted June 5 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 1 Quote
