1st shot at a custom Predator

[darthman]

Thats great!!

I like the idea and the cyborg parts look really good on the figure, how long did it take you to complete the figure?

Cheers mate, I was banging my head against the wall with the arm before I got a good fit. The leg was a bit easier

 

[cokebabies]

Thumbs up... that's awesome.

 

[outtachaos]

Now go "borg" up the head and bio.

Damn you are making me want to destroy two figures at the moment. But I wont...

 

[galactiboy]

Looks great, cool concept and the pieces work together really well.

I'd definitely weather him up a bit as now its hard to tell if the bandages serve a purpose or are decorative. I'd try a different bio as well since this one is so distinctive to the Wolf.

Pretty badass man.

Yeah agreed, gonna get to work on the bandages and try to acquire a different bio

Very cool darth, maybe you could take a bit of sculpting material and add a few patches of destroyed skin. I have no idea how but it could look cool.

 

[TRIGUN]

Man.. this looks totally awesome really great custom. And about Bio, how about samothing cyborg like? You know colour eye, even a bio which will not be on all the head will look cool But of course its your custom not mine lol

 

[bangkok_wolf]

Bigger pics, please! It's a crazy idea that seems awesome.

 

[fosing]

hey, can you please post a tutorial with the arm mod. that really looks like a great idea.

mechanized pred.

 

[SilentSurfer]

This poor Pred just can't get a break. Not only did he lose half his face, but now his hunting has cost him an arm and a leg.

That looks pretty cool.

Great job man

Spoiler:

It makes me feel that wolf has survive from bombing at the end of the film. And so he creep to terminator factory nearby in order to find spare limbs.

Dude i think you just stumbled onto the plot for AVP-R 2!

mechanized pred.

Hey dude, can't do pics as it was a real ball ache to get in place, but all I did was remove one half of the black socket in the predators shoulder by unscrewing.

I then pierced a small hole in the shoulder of the t-600 arm, slotted it in and screwed it in place through the screw hole in the existing predator shoulder joint.

I don't think that even makes sense, but you can do it in a way that you don't have to destroy your pred. Your t600 however, will be done for.

 

[darthman]

Added some more pics - they get worse
He's pretty much done now i think. I've got a random machine looking shoulder piece i bought off ebay so will attempt to paint and see what it looks like on him

I don't think I'll ever try this again though, Takes too much patience and I don't have the skill to realise my orginal vision, so hats off to the very talented people on here that do it so well.

 

[darthman]

Another quick update - think I am slipping into overkill territory here.
Added a robotic looking shoulder piece, which needs painting really, but have plucked up the courage to give it a go.

Also added a musket via a magent - thought the elder had one, so why not give mine a full size one for when he gets bored of using all his hi tech weaponary. pics below

The shouler piece is a soft (ish) plastic that I was able to mould around the arm with the help of some time in boiling water - what paint is best for this sort of material??

 

[Fives]

great looking custom but imo, it looked better without the robot shoulder piece.

 

[fosing]

@darthman
this bash gave me a new sense of enthusiasm to give it a go. i was too chicken to mechanize a pred, and placed that idea on hold...until you did this bash. thanks a lot. :]

here's mine still in the WIP stages as i need some more parts and gear to pimp him out. :]

all systems functional.haha

 

[darthman]

Mate that looks cool. Your work is a lot tidier than mine, that looks like a lovely neat job with the arm.
I've given mine lost Pred armour now, which seems to lend itself well to the cyborg look.
