Nice work, so your making a real bag out of leather, nice detail P. So how many predators do you have in your collection and which ones, if its anything like your terminator collection I'm afraid of the anwser:panic:

I currently got
Beserker
Lost
Classic from predators movie
Shadow
City Hunter

Funny how I see even more P1 in here. It's sad how wrong the sculpt is on these things. The skin flap between the top and bottom mandibles is pointing the completely opposite direction to what they're supposed to. :lol


:eek That looks amazing! Damnit are you telling me I have to track down Shadow now?? :gah::lol

thanks. no i don't make real bags for my predators. i suck at that.
as some fellow forum members were kind to mention, i'm able only of "butchering figures" to make "lame customs" :D

no.
the terminator collection is a set of his images throughout the movie.
predator doesn't have that, he only takes off the helmet :)
plus, as i have only 1 mouth-repainted P1 head and full-repainted P2 head, i have to stick to only 1 of each complete predators.
besides that i have Grayback on old body and in old P1 armors repainted black - and 1 Borg. both have their necks / bodies shortened to fit the height and proportions of new bodies.
i also have the "guardian"/gort pred but i cannot call him a collective predator because he has nothing new in his image except color & helmet.

so i say that i have only P1 and P2.

:eek That looks amazing! Damnit are you telling me I have to track down Shadow now?? :gah::lol
no, why?
just the bag's band from "guardian" (did i say "shadow" before? i was wrong!), left shoulder armor holder from old P2 and right shoulder armor from "shadow". plus all palms from shadow. i'm sure they are all available on ebay :)
i actually bought shadow just for his skull & body. now i don't even need the body.

================

still don't understand why tsang's heads have brown mouths & teeth.
so happy that i don't have to see any of those ugly things.
 
so... i got that guy yesterday.

May I know what object is it in on the neck joint?
Do you have any more detail steps how to mod the joint?
I have a old P2 head and i plan to change it to my new P2.

Thank you very much.

that is a thing from any arnold head. or billy's from predators. it is glued to his head joint ball.

all my "old type" predators use it.
here's the instruction to fit old heads (P2 / Grayback / Lost) to old p1 neck. that P2 head was originally painted except eyes, i think it still lies somewhere.

to be able to use it on a new neck (which is a lot wider) i just had to cut the old head's shorter / make a cone hole in it wider.

(you cannot imagine how i was afraid of doing it on that repainted head. one wrong cut and everything's dead).

or here is on "lost".

Picture Time, Part One

Got this guy yesterday, had time to take some photos today. I was able to get him to hang on to the skull trophy with one of his stock left hands, btw, without any modification.

Really liking the look of that band. Unfortunately there's no one around my area who parts out figures. That, and I hate ebay. :( I'll probably have a go at making a strap myself out of pleather or some kind of material when I get mine. Are those trophies on the strap accurate?
