Sideshow 1:1 / Predator 1 bust repainted

[Xterminatus]

Hey guys and girls.

This is my repaint of my Sideshow predator 1 bust that i bought from Isaak a few years ago.
Only thing not done on it is the Carlart cannon thats on its way.

It was a blast to paint

here is what it looked like before the repaint i masked the Eyes with bluetac as they are made of glas

And here are the final result minus the cannon

You got a HUUUUGE BALLSAK Jimmy!!!!! He looks awesome man, how are you gonna mount the cannon?

When I saw the thread title, I was like "What!? Why would you DO that!?" Then I saw the pictures and was like "Oh! I think you may be onto something, here."

Really goes to show you how much the paint apps on that bust have aged. Beautiful work, some of your best yet! I think it's safe to say the value of that thing has skyrocketed, and rightfully so.

Amazing... always thought this bust was a bit meh; but that paint really knocks it out of the park.

Thanks for also posting the before and after, helps to highlight the stark differences.

this is my fav paint up of anything you've done to date, great job.

Simply AWESOME work!

Stunning example of what some touch-ups can do to a "factory" paint job.

We, fellow "touch-uppers", Salute you!

Really, really good. Just had another look at my original one and he doesn't look so good now! Congrats...

[NickNack]

Fantastic work!

Now the obvious question is... have you ever painted smaller pieces, like say, the Sideshow 1/4 maquette? It'd be amazing to see your painting skills on a full Predator.
