Description So heres a quick pic of what I have done on my Pred suit over the last few weeks just thought I would post it to see what people think so far.

Checklist so far:
25/40 dreds done (15 coated in latex)
Basic paper mache scar bio that I have decided to turn into a celtic bio and later coat in resin
Custom "Predator 2" inspired head sculpt (unfinished) (done in kiddie’s plasticine because I couldn’t find oil based clay for a decent price)
Shoulder bells (craft foam to be painted with primer then metallic paints)
Bicep armour (same deal as shoulder bells)
Centre of chest plate (same deal again)
Belt buckle (you guessed it same again)
Wrist blades (craft foam to be coated in resin then painted)
Butt and groin guard (same as the rest of the armour)
Feet (cheap shoes with 4 pairs of thongs (flip flops) glued to the bottom to give am about 2 inches of extra height, basic shape made from sculpted polyurethane foam then coated in brush on rubber latex)

Still to come:
Animatronic mandible rig to go under the latex mask
Gauntlets with animatronics for working wrist blades
Spear (retracted, non-animatronic...unless I change my mind)
backpack and shoulder cannon mount
Large calibre shoulder cannon (recoiled position)
Chest plate
Spine armour
Thigh armour
Shin guards
Shuriken (possibly animatroic, dependant on whether I can figure out a system)
Dred rings
Neck ring
Dagger and sheath
Trophy skulls
Gloves
Skin and muscle suit

I think thats everything......until I start on the alien suit anyway

Yeah well it is my first attempt and I have only just started it. And I've scrapped my bio helmet and I've re started my mask sculpt.

Looks like a good start!
What did you make the dreads of?

Thanks
I made the dreds out of an old sheet I accidentally cut a huge hole in while making my zombie werewolf costume, I stitched them into long cone shapes then filled them with styrofoam beans from an old bean bag, stitched then ends up and painted them with brush on rubber latex with black acrylic paint mixed in with it.
I think they look pretty good and they swish about alright but once I add the dred rings the weight should make them move really nicely and it was a lot cheaper than casting them out of latex

Yes, latex is pretty expensive so it sounds like you've found a way to make some decent cheap dreads.
Own design on dreadrings or P1, P2... ?

I haven't really decided on dred rings yet.
I know how I am going to make them but not the design. I was just going to make replica's of the AVP ones but thats a bit boring and I have seen some really nice ones with facehuggers on them on the lair but I don't know yet but they will probably be my own design.

The ones with facehuggers on, is Sorin (impaiatu) that makes them. He is good to talk with and will surely make you some dreadrings if you want. They look great and I will myself buy some when I have money.
Good luck on the design!
