A movie fanatic makes custom-designed motorcycle helmets based on the Predator monster.<br /><br />Suriyan Tantemsin, 40, started the unique business after losing his job as an art teacher when the school was flooded in Ratchaburi, Thailand, in 2011.<br /><br />He began making motorcycle gruesome helmets for friends which quickly became popular online. <br /><br />Demands came in from around the world through Suriyan's Facebook fan page for for bespoke pieces. <br /><br />The wacky helmets have long black dreadlocks and fangs like the iconic science fiction movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. <br /><br />Suriyan now makes dozens of the helmets every month to send to the U.S., Europe and Australia. He also uses his workshop to restore cartoon figurines.<br /><br />He said: ''My work is generally with bike helmets, making custom Predator bike helmets. We work with the design of the Predator character from the movie. <br /><br />''I take their traits to customise and modify them with some creative ideas and transform them to the new designs with different styles.<br /><br />''Back in 2011 before the severe flooding, I was an art teacher but with the flooding, my job ended, so I started making helmets.<br /><br />''I made my friends some strange, fun helmets at that time, which they posted online and they accidentally went viral and the orders started pouring in.''<br /><br />Despite the popularity of Suriyan's helmets, he said he doesn't sell many in his homeland because ''the traffic rules are something else''.<br /><br />He added: ''Most of the customers are collectors. For the helmets, we already have a big market out there and it’s stable.''<br /><br />Predator is a 1987 science fiction action movie in which an elite paramilitary team have to battle the alien to save hostages. The movie has three sequels as well as the Alien franchise.
