baloo custom biomask for HT original Predator

[viruz777]

baloo how will you be painting these masks?

Well, with the tail of a cow, why?
...
I don't remember which artist (Dali? Picasso?...) had made this joke to mock an art critic, but more seriously, with an airbrush, wash and dry brushing... Why?

LOL i said something very similar to my sister the other day when she asked me how I was going to paint a head sculpt I have made.

Haha ... Well done!
That what one calls "renvoyer l'ascenseur"!
... Sorry guys, the pun doesn't work in English!

 

[Chewee Levelu]

.. it was just for a "Stand By music..."

Unbelievable detail on the interior! WOW.

This is sick! Interested in making a 1/4 scale version for the new NECA predator coming out??

Btw, will you be offering unpainted versions with all the lighting mechanisms intact?

ahaha i appreciate your humour

No I was just wondering as to the process on how you will finish it with paint since it already takes so much detail for sculpt so I was wondering the process you would use to paint it at the end which accompanies this detail. Besides that I also wanted to know what paint you will use exactly is it just one plain silver kind or will it be layered or something?

@Chewee Levelu:
I see, I see... But I may get stuck in the elevator, there... hehe

@Reinhardt:
Many thanks!

A 1/4 scale version for the new NECA? I don't know... What does it look like?... Any pics? A thing is sure: in this scale, I would tire much less my eyes!

About versions (not to mention price yet), there will be 5 as follows:

A - "Garage basic kit" (Bottom of the range): crude as-cast (to deburr, ...) without hardware of the lighting system - to assemble and paint (7 pieces + solar film)
B - "Garage full kit": (A) + hardware of the lighting system (LED, wiring, brass tubes, dorsal plug) - to assemble, weld and paint
C - "Classic" (Average range): model painted (like new) without lighting
D - "Full Classic" model painted (like new) with lighting
E - "Ultimate" (Top of the range): model painted (Battle Damage) with lighting

Sure, all this remain opened to any good proposal, but I think that should satisfy everyone... What do you think, friends?

 

[baloo]

Many thanks viruz777... That's at least one person who appreciates my humor of bear!

And for the answer... See above

I think is a great idea. Everyone will be pleased.

 

[baloo]

Thank you, predarnold... I hope so too!

Finally found a decent price on a P1 Predator. Please put me down for one, baloo.

the new picture (post 2) with the updated underside of the bio is insane - can't wait.

Wow so many choices! But weld?? O_O wow you're actually going to weld the mask or something with a welder?

At any case B, D and E sounds good since I'll only buy the one with lighting from you which will really put Hot Toys mask to shame

@agentofchaos73:
You're pre-registered, friend!
Thank you

@vareika:
Do not you want to talk about post #8 or #105 instead?
Anyway, thanks so much for your compliments!

@viruz777:
Well the weld is to make the lighting system, of course.
I will detail with pictures every step of finishing the mask and I'll illustrate each proposed version.
