Help with painting.

[Alex Hayashi]

So my Latex gear has arrived but I'm unsure about color wise. I plan on airbrushing everything akin to the Scarface Predator/P1 as well as match the morphsuit from Zentai-Zentai. Got a few Vallejo browns and beige.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would say follow this tutorial, but just adjust the color pallet and where you put the black spots/marks.

 

[Alex Hayashi]

That's the thing, the colors he uses are different to what I'm using. I mean once my skin suit arrives I can match the colors properly. Just not sure about getting the main skin color though as it's sort of a mix of yellow and beige.

Like I said, just adjust the color pallet, but follow how he applies the layers and adjust the black to where scarface has it.

I got them from a guy who makes them all on Ebay. Reasonable price for the lot. dids6951 on eBay If you ask him about a P1 head he might be able to do one for the same price as the Scar head.

Followed the tutorial. Color turned out a little more orange than the regular P1 skin tone but does match up to my morphsuit and I couldn't be more proud for the first attempt.

HELLO ALEX!.... I use an old left over silicone (dry of course) of mold max 30, part in my paint items. If you can buy yourself a little SMOOTH-ON MOLD MAX 30 Bottles (They come in 2, that you mix up) then you pour a little silicone in a huge bucket and let it DRY FOR 24 HOURS!!!! Then after it is dry, you cut with an Exacto some holes in it, with a lizard like patterns, and then when you do your airbrush it will make the patterns pretty easy ;-)....PREDATOR PAINTERS use those silicones molds patterns for painting their masks.....AND PLEASE DONT DO THE ERROR I DID , NEVER PUT SPRAY CAN PAINT for the Primer..... NEVER... alweays use airbrush acrylic paint, and adhesive paint agent and acrylic Primer before painting your colors on your mask..... I REALLY HOPE IT HELPS YOU GUYS....

Thanks man, gonna add the magnets and dreads today so I'll be sure to post some finished pictures.

 

[Alex Hayashi]

Just added the dreads and the teeth. I'll slide the beads on in the morning.

 

[Alex Hayashi]

I made the armor myself out of EVA foam. I'm just waiting on photography to be uploaded from the con. Hopefully there's some photos of me with my gloves on as I left them at home the first day.

 

[Texas predator]

Yeah I like the ARMOR, it looks like BIG RED's samurai armor in color red. Sometimes when I get excited I forget to put stuff on too! no worries hope you still had fun!
