Resurrection time...
This is the PREDALIEN sculpted by S. Hayes.
I know alot of people aren't fans of the Predalien design from AvP:R. I wasn't at first either. It's grown on me alot and I'm actually quite fond of it now.
The problem is, it didn't translate well to film.
So, when I was lucky enough to find the S. Hayes kit at the Nightmare Collectibles table at this year's Wonderfest...I knew this was an opportunity to try something different.
It's a fantastic sculpt. Hayes managed to give it a very menacing pose and overall look. With the addition of the dead Pred head base and a poseable mouth and tongue, it's really a perfect kit.
If the film had been able to achieve this look, I think alot more people would have liked the Predalien design.
I sent this beauty off to my good friend Dan for some expert painting. He and I both aggreed that the "front half painted like a Pred/back half painted like an Alien" look that ADI gave it was a little weird.
I really wanted it to be more Alien with some Pred parts showing up here and there. Dan took that and came up with a really fantastic paint scheme.
Thanks again Dan. This really is one of my all time favorite kit paint ups.
