WOW!!!! holy crap that looks amazing, I would definitely be interested in doing that one. looks relatively painless, and much much more comfortable. I will head out today to find that comic for reference. Hope you guys don't mind chasing after a sexy prediator girl

Well she is human, just joined with the Predators after an Alien infestation, etc. The gal from the first movie is based off of her really.

But it looks like a simple "tube top" type breast wrap, some kind of panties, a hunting skirt... A fishnet body suit over that... sandals... some baseball catcher leg guards of a sort. Dredlock your hair... fingerless gloves... the rest isn't too hard if someone can vacform.

I'd say that's suitable wear for Dragon Con...

Pretty much standard for half the ladies I saw.

The rest wore less.

realized my mistake, post edited..

vac form? *blank expression*

haha, what am i getting myself into...

Well vaccform for the shoulder and wrist pieces. Unless the predator costumer types want to chime in on a ready resource?

_________________

Vacform refers to "vacuum formed" plastic parts.

Basically a sheet of plastic is heated until it is soft, and then "pulled" around an object it is to mimic using vacuum suction.

A lot of garage kits used vacform parts that you had to trim excess plastic from.



Hope this helps.

I'd hunt that.

Ahhh.. i see

I probably won't need to vac form the peices, I'd rather built it myself. I can make those by hand with a light metal. It's definitely doable though.

Yes, good option. Another suggestion is leather working. Go with your skills.

Which is why I don't have any vaccformed costumes I made myself.

_________________

Yeah I want to do the chest, bottom and waist in leather, and the shoulders in metal.
Hopefully, it'll look as badass as the picture.


I'm somewhat of a prude, so there will be full frontal coverage

Oh for visual reference... they just collected the Machiko stories some... 10 years later in what is called the "Aliens vs Predator Omnibus volume 1". But you might be able to find just 1 or 2 issues for not too much.

Sigh... the DCON slump.

Surely folk have their own cons to attend in the coming year?

AssimilationCon in Florida at the end of the month...
Vulkon Cleveland next month...

But none involving my new OD buddies.
