1/6 AVP Part 3: She-Wolf Predator vs Queen Alien

[mgbb]

My work here is largely influenced by a lot of the predator sculptors and illustrators. The base, Hot Toys Machiko, was bought years ago when it was first released. I always have a wish to transform it into a real female predator figure. The project did not start until I found this resin bad *** predator head. I have put in a number of designs to make every parts fit well together. The work in progress section explains the details. Overall speaking, I am happy with how the figure turns out. It matches my impression of a female predator which is lethal, wild but still feminine.

This is an alternate story line of AVP. After Scar, Chopper and Celtic were all killed in the pyramid, She-Wolf was sent to clean up the mess.

Body Transformation

OE Reborn body was used to give a taller body proportion. The soft rubber chest was replaced with Cool Girl's as the big chest does not fit well into the armor and also the soft rubber is hard to be painted. Muscle texture was sculpted with epoxy putty and sculpey. The paint used was acrylics. All paint work was done by hand brush (no airbrush). A thin layer of semi-gloss clear was applied at the end.

Work In Progress

1. To support the heavier weight of the body, the ankle joints were replaced with bigger ones
2. Making the boots to fit the bigger legs
3. Filled the cut out gap with epoxy putty
4. Brass robs for connecting the boots to the thighs
5. Transforming the Cool Girl chest to fit the OE body
6. Retain the rubber joint for connecting to the lower body
7,8. Working on body sculpting with epoxy putty and sculpey
9. Sculpting the skin texture for the hands

1. Making use of spare parts to extend the shoulder cannon so it will level with the eyes
2. Enlarge the gauntlets with epoxy putty
3. Sculpt the details to match with the overall design
4. Components of wrist blades
5. The base was made from a stack of 3 plastic sheets then saw and filed into shape
6. Wrist blade gauntlet painted up
7-9. Redo the suede leather bottom

1. Use epoxy putty to construct the lower part of the head
2. Sculpey to create the head texture
3. Drilled holes for connecting dreadlocks
4. Filled the back of the mask with epoxy putty
5. Made a hole for hiding button battery
6. Test fit the masked head to the neck
7. Sculpted the head details
8. Installed a LED as the homing laser
9. Sculpted the laser homing device

1-4. Doing the paint job step by step
5. Masked head painted
6. Dreadlocks were cut from the original Machiko head
7-8. Use plastic welder glue to adhere dreadlocks
9. Face is attached to the head by magnet

This is a height comparison. Piers is 30cm tall (1.8m in 1:1), She-Wolf is 33cm tall (1.98m in 1:1), Celtic is 36cm tall (2.16m in 1:1). The aliens are not 1/6. Alien Queen is from Revoltect. Alien Warrior is from Bandai

Thanks for watching! All comments are welcome!

Very cool man!

 

[koolop]

Great work on the custom! Did u ever think of adding more dreads near the top of the head? It seems lacking..

 

[TheChozoWarrior]

Wow that's freaking amazing, excellent work!

I wish to but I am limited with the amount I can get from HT Machiko.

A female Predator really should not have breast. For one thing, they don't have nipples. When you omit putting nipples on the body of your monster, that is conscious and deliberate decision. Because first you put them on and then you say 'Oh wait, those shouldn't be there.'


Second, how is a creature with that type of face, suppose to create the suction necessary to breast feed effectively ? especially as an infant? It doesn't make any physical sense.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

It doesn't make any sense because it doesn't need to. It's not real.

mgbb, fantastic work and great p-shopping skills.
That weapon hanging from her low back gives off an Avengers vibe. Looks like one of the Chitauri weapons.

Do we have any breast feeding experts here to explain?

 

[edstuff]

Of course he can breast feed he's got a *****-face

Breast feeding talk in the A & R section.

Nice job I really like what you did with wrist blades looks awesome.

There's no mess to clean up after AVP. The pyramid was nuked and the only surviving alien (the queen) was sunk.

I didn't do the nipples simply because there is no need to. They will be covered up by the chest armor so why bother.

Exactly!

And you may say Scar didn't die. That's why I called it an "alternate story".

 

[MasterSafara]

Idk why anyone might say Scar doesn't die. He clearly dies in the movie.

Since male pred. has no nipples... females wouldn't have them as well... They could still be protruding patches of skin that provides milk.... Them bumps would be gripping surface for baby pred.'s external mandibles.... There you have it: Evolutionary purpose for those external mandibles

nipples are for suckling mammals...

Stop all this non-sense predator talk and let's get back to breast feeding... errr, you know what I mean.
