Samurai Predator Body Suit
Hello, I’m Wilfred, an SFX makeup artist and prop maker from Hong Kong. Here’s my Samurai Predator suit, it’s a big project for me but it’s so much fun as I’m a fans of Predator.
The overall concept is inspired by Takayuki Takeya’s classic design, but I re-designed the sculpture details, muscle structures, and paint scheme myself to give it my own spin.
Body Suit: Sculpted the whole body by hand using WED clay especially working on the skin texturing and multi-layered paint patterns and then casting in silicone. I insert a shoe with the high platform inside the feet’s part and attended a 4cm soles to build up the total height.
Armor & Weapons: When I finished the sculpture of the body, I do the 3d scan for them and sculpted the armor in Zbrush that I can fit with my Predator’s suit. Then I resin 3D printed the armor in parts with the arm blades craft out of EVA foam.

Props: The hanging Xenomorph inner jaws props is sculpt in Zbrush and casting in silicone with the surface then filling foam to reduce the weight.
Mixing traditional clay sculpture with 3D modeling for this build was a blast. Hope you guys like it!
