ya scar is a must have for sure, I wish they would do wolf soon.

 

[dedguy]

Yeah definitely. The Avp:R Pred is one of my favorite Pred designs, probably second to Pred2. I'd love to see him re-done.

Right now I'm just looking forward to Celtic but that's entirely for custom fodder.

The strap for the bag is leather. I actually remade the entire bag from scratch out of leather I have. His waist pouch I also made from leather.

The cords around the waist is black string soaked in brown paint. They're wrapped around like this:

Nice! I just need this guide.
The cords is the original from that P2 or you just prepare yourself?

I posted a bunch more over in tayler's thread but wanted to show it off a bit here. Finished off my Pred2 custom by painting up one of his great masks.

In that photo they're leather cords but I ended up replacing them with painted string as it looked and hung better.

[crazypredator2]

got my ht p2 city hunter pred today, and i'm loving it, I don't care what all the haters have said, this figure in person is amazing and just beautiful, can't wait till next month for scar.

 

[Sidious-66]

Well done buddy. I agree.

Here is my City Hunter -

 

[dedguy]

Yeah, even totally stock it's still a great figure.

 

[the angry orc]

Yeah I was pretty impressed with it right out of the box especially after all the negative comments re: accuracy, etc. Got him, tracker and classic all on the same day. All three are impressive.

 

[dedguy]

To me, the issues with accuracy to the vast majority of people are only noticeable when doing direct comparisons.

 

[Silasya77]

^That only applies to the mask for me. Everything else is just blatantly obvious.

 

[dedguy]

What do you mean by "everything else"?

 

[Biojex]

I pulled my City Hunter out of storage and took a pic. Not a bad fig.

I noticed on my city hunter that his mask and armour are all really dark with very little in the way of highlights, i assume you just did some dry brushing with a lighter bronze paint? I'm seriously considering doing mine in the same way, from your pics he looks so much better.

 

[Silasya77]

What do you mean by "everything else"?

I mean all the other issues lol. Don't get me wrong the figure is gorgeous, but inaccuracies are inaccuracies. It's just the mask needs a screen grab cuz of contours and such. But stuff like the cannon and face are pretty blatantly inaccurate

 

[Devil_666]

Great work dedguy, all the custom work you did made an already great looking figure even better. So jelly now.

No I actually did a complete repaint of everything. Pretty much everything started as a base coat of bronze and then I used a variety of techniques to add additional weathering to it. The mask for example started off like this:

Some of these are reposts but here's some other photos of the full repaint. I also did a bunch of other things like the custom leather shoulder and hip pouches and the cords around the waist.
