Custom Predator Diorama (12-inch)

[FACEBOX]

Hi guys,

I don't know if you have seen my ALIENS dioramas before, but I have started another diorama using the same concepts I've learnt building that one.

I thought it would be cool to make a PREDATOR diorama this time.
I went a step further and made it in 12" SCALE. It's still a WIP (started yesterday), but I thought I could share some pix before I finish.
This is my 2nd diorama, so be gentle.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the following teaser pictures:

I wonder if I'll be able to sell it. I'm not much of a Predator fan.

Glad you like it.
I know some people here can be really critical when it comes to minor details. (Myself included)

That's really cool! All the skulls look really cool! Reall impressive stuff, Facebox!

Sure thing!

I use foam-board for the base/backdrop, and add bits of silicone, plastic, metal, resin etc for the little details. Anything that looks the part (junk I have laying around the house) will become a part of a diorama.

Then it's off to paint.
I use flat black as a base coat, then add gray..then black again. The last coat is a clear gloss red. (all spray paint)
Finally, I add resin skulls to the wall.

Oh, and here are some pix of my 1st dio:

Looks gorgeous! If you're serious about selling, I might be interested .

I am very curious about your components though - I recognise the Nosferatoys-sold resin Alien and Human skulls, and those from the Kotobukiya chimasuta, but where are those big monster and Klingon skulls from?

 

[FACEBOX]

I'm not done yet. I still want to build a frame for the edges, and then I'll wash the skulls.
It'd be cool to add an Endoskeleton skull to it, but that wouldn't be movie accurate at all.

I took some better pix today:

The 2 skulls you mentioned are also resin.

Thanks Darren.

The ALIENS one is not as big as the Predator one.
The ALIENS one is in 6" scale, so I used McFarlane's eggs.

LOL, "McFarlane's eggs".

Mcfarlane eggs
