Description This costume took me a few months to make but it was well worth it. Constructed out of foam, glue, spray paint and airbursh paints. I literally glued the foam to the clothes I was wearing so i could get a skin tight fit. My technique is unusual but it works well. I use uppholstry foam like that found in cars and i use scisors to cut the foam. Thicker foam I use an electric knife. After completing the suit I decided silver spray paint would give me the look i wanted without having to buy several small bottles of silver airbrush paint. After geting the silver done I then airbrushed the rest of the details into the suit. I used an Iwata Airbrush and Createx paints.

If you have a picture of yourself in the costume, you post it on your page. I'd like to see how it turned out. Never saw anyone try a female Predator costume before.

Very impressive work! This is a great job and your use of foam is ideal. I used to amke costumes like this, using an electric knife etc.,

Very impressive job on the face and the 'hair'. It's also quite an interesting effect you've achieved with the eyes painted as they are. I would imagine then, that they rest almost on top of your regular eyes?

You've done a wonderful job of this guy and I hope you get a lot of use out of him. ^^ How do you find the visibility on this one?

Cheers mate, and take care.

Thanks The eyeholes in the mask rest almost against the skin which makes it blend in with my own eyes. The visibility in this costume is around +80% I don't have my peripheral vision but outside of that I can see really well

Nifty. They appear very set-back in the head, so it's good that you can get so much visibility out of them and still retain that realistic effect. That's the main thing I go for in my suits as well.. You want lots of visibility, durability, and aesthetics to go on top of it.

Keep it up, mate. ^^
