Predarnold Customs: Custom base for Hot Toys Berserker Predator > Page# 4 !!!

Neca Elder Predator
with improved articulation. Customized & photographed by me and repainted by Uruk's Customs & Figure Painting

I started this project in February of 2012 (At that time there was no new Jungle Hunter P1's body type)

Check out more pictures of Elder on my facebook page:

Re: Predarnold: Custom Neca Elder Predator

Looks really nice, is this the 1/4 scale or smaller?

Re: Predarnold: Custom Neca Elder Predator

Smaller scale. He's 8 inches tall.

Re: Predarnold Customs: NECA Elder Predator

He is amazing. That is a seriously cool pose.

you are so attentive & careful for details.
may be you'd appreciate some advices for further detalisation.

1) Grayback has no sandals as well as everybody in P2. if you can paint, you can just take P2 feet (as you have already disassembled it) and repaint them.



2) not sure about belts & stripes on his left hand. what i do see is some netting, though smaller than the body netting.



(ignore the lower part of that picture please, i took it out of a thread where i showed difference between P1 and Grayback suits. i just don't have programs to cut it now)

3) he surely seems to wear P2 gloves, not P1. if that is correct, you can do the same that is needed about his feet: take P2 palms and repaint.

Re: Predarnold Customs: NECA Elder Predator with improved articulation, Full Repaint

I used my imagination and creativity. I know it's not 100% accurate but I think it came out pretty well. Right now he looks better than Sideshow Elder and Hot Toys Elder.

1. That's true but I like the details on P1's sandals.
2. He looks way cooler with the straps and belts.
3. I could but I don't want to

and knowing that you did it with your own hands always adds price to that.

Re: Predarnold Customs: NECA Elder Predator with improved articulation, Full Repaint

this is amazing looking.

Re: Predarnold Customs: NECA Elder Predator with improved articulation, Full Repaint

Epic job! NECA sculpt quality is nice (for that price), but paint quality usually sucks! and it becomes worst with each figure they release.
I have 2 NECA figures (Altair from Assassins Creed and Raziel from Soul Reaver) and I have repainted some partes too.
I have the 1/4 NECA Classic Masked Predator and it is really good, but I added some ropes and some repaint too.

Re: Predarnold Customs: NECA Elder Predator with improved articulation, Full Repaint

Thanks !
Neca's paint job is horrible.
