Another Custom Predator. Meet SABERTOOTH!!!

[SilentSurfer]

I'm back with another custom Lost Predator for you all. Well, actually it's for Matt13, but you all get to see it.

Matt13 saw this thread:
https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65202&highlight=na'vi+sapien
...and wondered if I could do something like that in Red and Yellow. I said "sure". And then I saw Avatar and fell in love with the Leonopteryx color scheme and went with that. Here's what Matt13 is going to get.

The blue one was called nicknamed Na'vi Sapien by you guys, so what's this guy's nickname? Don't say Leo.

I would love to do that for you. Just give me some starting point (colors, pattern styles, other life forms) you like, and I'll make it happen.

I'm doing three Snake custom Preds right now; one using a P2 (provided by predatorje), one using a Lost (provided by darthjuan007), and one which is for me using the unpainted cast of the P1 head and some modified Lost mandibles and shortened P2 dreads. These are going to look amazing. Pics within the week (hopefully)

You should call him Steve.

"It's a pretty name."

Is that an 'Over the Hedge' reference?

Do you know of any similar scale Preds that aren't Hot Toys? Not to be tight but gettting one ustomed is a big leap for me! Not that I doubt your talents!

That could work. Really does fit, doesn't it? Thanks. I even changed the thread title.

BTW, your username gives me ideas for a cool custom. Kind of a blacklight looking effect. Hmmm. If only I had more Predators to paint...

There have been lots of 1/6 scale Predator model kits. They wouldn't be poseable, and I'd have to paint everything, including netting, dreads, blades, etc. which makes that a lot more work. In the long run, it's probably just cheaper to use a HT Pred, but I totally understand your hesitation. They aint cheap is they?

[SilentSurfer]

Sunny Thanks, but Sabertooth already grew on me. Perfect fit.

Skynet,
Nathan has customized two HT Preds for me, and they are AWESOME.
I'll be sending him a P1 for him to work his magic on it. He just don't know yet.

Yea lol. Or it could be the Lava Planet Pred, old Kenner reference.

That actually had occured to me, and I was trying not to associate it with that.

 

[SilentSurfer]

GDZILLA95, I am going to be starting work on Reinhardt's P1 very soon. If you send me yours in time, I can knock out all three together (mine included). At least your armor is already camo, huh?

 

[alejandro175]

Great Paint Job!

Sabretooth it is, but just try to consider

Yellow and Not to Mellow Predator

OR

Cheetara Predator

OR

Bumble Bee Predator

 

[darthjuan007]

Great job Nathan!!! Can't wait for the pics of the snake. I just got another P1 body and head. Let me know when your up for another custom pred.
