1st shot at a custom Predator

[darthman]

Thats great!!

I like the idea and the cyborg parts look really good on the figure, how long did it take you to complete the figure?

Cheers mate, I was banging my head against the wall with the arm before I got a good fit. The leg was a bit easier

 

[cokebabies]

Thumbs up... that's awesome.

 

[outtachaos]

Now go "borg" up the head and bio.

Damn you are making me want to destroy two figures at the moment. But I wont...

 

[galactiboy]

Looks great, cool concept and the pieces work together really well.

I'd definitely weather him up a bit as now its hard to tell if the bandages serve a purpose or are decorative. I'd try a different bio as well since this one is so distinctive to the Wolf.

Pretty badass man.

Yeah agreed, gonna get to work on the bandages and try to acquire a different bio

Very cool darth, maybe you could take a bit of sculpting material and add a few patches of destroyed skin. I have no idea how but it could look cool.

 

[TRIGUN]

Man.. this looks totally awesome really great custom. And about Bio, how about samothing cyborg like? You know colour eye, even a bio which will not be on all the head will look cool But of course its your custom not mine lol

 

[bangkok_wolf]

Bigger pics, please! It's a crazy idea that seems awesome.

 

[fosing]

hey, can you please post a tutorial with the arm mod. that really looks like a great idea.

mechanized pred.

 

[SilentSurfer]

This poor Pred just can't get a break. Not only did he lose half his face, but now his hunting has cost him an arm and a leg.

That looks pretty cool.

Great job man

Spoiler

It makes me feel that wolf has survive from bombing at the end of the film. And so he creep to terminator factory nearby in order to find spare limbs.

Dude i think you just stumbled onto the plot for AVP-R 2!

mechanized pred.

Hey dude, can't do pics as it was a real ball ache to get in place, but all I did was remove one half of the black socket in the predators shoulder by unscrewing.

I then pierced a small hole in the shoulder of the t-600 arm, slotted it in and screwed it in place through the screw hole in the existing predator shoulder joint.

I don't think that even makes sense, but you can do it in a way that you don't have to destroy your pred. Your t600 however, will be done for.

 

[darthman]

Added some more pics - they get worse
He's pretty much done now i think. I've got a random machine looking shoulder piece i bought off ebay so will attempt to paint and see what it looks like on him

I don't think I'll ever try this again though, Takes too much patience and I don't have the skill to realise my orginal vision, so hats off to the very talented people on here that do it so well.

 

[darthman]

Another quick update - think I am slipping into overkill territory here.
Added a robotic looking shoulder piece, which needs painting really, but have plucked up the courage to give it a go.

Also added a musket via a magent - thought the elder had one, so why not give mine a full size one for when he gets bored of using all his hi tech weaponary. pics below

The shouler piece is a soft (ish) plastic that I was able to mould around the arm with the help of some time in boiling water - what paint is best for this sort of material??

 

[Fives]

great looking custom but imo, it looked better without the robot shoulder piece.

 

[fosing]

@darthman
this bash gave me a new sense of enthusiasm to give it a go. i was too chicken to mechanize a pred, and placed that idea on hold...until you did this bash. thanks a lot. :]

here's mine still in the WIP stages as i need some more parts and gear to pimp him out. :]

all systems functional.haha

 

[darthman]

Mate that looks cool. Your work is a lot tidier than mine, that looks like a lovely neat job with the arm.
I've given mine lost Pred armour now, which seems to lend itself well to the cyborg look.
