I see that shadow predator body doesn't have that fake fur over it. Was it hard to remove? Also pretty evident-nice customs by the way especially that classic predator!

Whoa... wait... you painted over the dome?

Yeah I always paint over the dome. Looks better to me that way.

Good Morning or evening to all,

Just seeking some knowledge on how to swap out dreads for Hot toys avp 2.0 predator figures. If anyone knows or can direct me to the right thread to ask this question please enlighten me even though I see custom work photoed here in this thread. What I would like to do is swap out the 2.0 Ancient predator dreads for the 2.0 Elder predator's dreads as I love the color blue and always thought the elder predators look so great due to their blue dreads and not just their armor. The other alternative is painting. If anyone can tell me which type of paint to use for painting the dreads the color I want please let me know. I already learned that acrylic paint and rubber don't mix as the figure I painted on was a phicen m30 body and it just flaked off in large amounts. So I don't think it would go well with the dreads. Thanks to all in advance for everyone that checks out this post.

Here's one I did years ago...using the figures to mimic the poster. (btw this is the v1 AVP Scar)
Wish I could do practical effects but the drool and laser are both photoshop.
Even now I still like it so decided to share.

i always loved that slogan. whoever wins, fans lose from getting that movie.

May i just say this is probably the most awesome thread i've seen in SSF to date. All you guys have such a passion for the predator and alien franchises and your amazing pieces reflect this passion This thread has certainly perked up my miserable saturday morning at work

Wait a MINUTE!!
There is beauty in the simplicity of it, but please tell me you're not done.
The alien's color palate is an interesting one where various techniques are used to bring out the sculpt's full potential. It looks very unfinished to me if it's simply flat black.
Another concern is won't the paint flake off the body-suit?

LOL that's just the primer I haven't even started painting the sexy beast yet 'cause I've been too busy with college stuff. Silly creature.

Rest assured I'll be putting all my love for the gigermorph into the paint app when the time is available.

I waited a loooong time to get this piece. It's definitely my favorite Alien piece in my collection, tied with the Kotobukiya ArtFX Statue.

I'm not concerned about the paint because vinyl is a type of plastic [think vinyl records] (everyone seems to think the soft material is rubber, it's not) and acrylic paint is plastic polymer and I primed and lightly sanded the figure, so the paint will stay on fine. Especially since I won't be over handling it (I always grab it by the shoulder paldrons, which are normal plastic like a normal figure). I'll be posting pics of my progress once I start the real work.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my post! Looks like I'll be using industrial grade paint then hopefully can be found in small quantities.

No problem! I hope you can find what you need. I like the blue dreads too.

One tip I learned: it helps to put on an isolation coat to seal the paint. It dries totally transparent and will lengthen the life of any paint app. Then a varnish can be applied to really seal the paint.

I've done this on vinyl, plastic, and rubber figures.

what if i post again some pics i posted a long time ago.

Hey sorry it took me so long to reply I'm dealing with some shady seller I found out from another one of his customers that weren't happy who's trying to sell me an Ancient Pred2.0 guess I'm still playing waiting game cause I'm not going any further with him! Ok wow that helps thank you! Your post was a lot easier to find on phone then on computer that I was on a dozen times yesterday!
