I posted this in aliens and robots section, but I am posting here because I think this is the place for this.
So I had my friend recently purchase a hot toys wolf predator 1/6 kit, he also purchased a few parts from the cleaner kit, so I told him I would put it together for him since I had experience doing those old hot toys predator kits. Well I got all his parts and he wanted it to have the best parts from both kits, I said no problem my friend give me about a day to do him for you then you can buy a twelve pack for payment and we can talk and chill and oogle over your predator figure when you come pick him up. What I didn't tell him, was that I was going to upgrade his wolf and make it a little better than what the kit offered. I had a spare Guardian predator body...the 1.0 pred body with the ab crunch section, I decided to paint it up and use it in place of the wolf body. here is a bunch of pics I took as I finished painting him and then assembled him ( sadly I took no pics of the painting process...I didn't think to do so at the time.) This literally took me one day and I was very happy with it four coats of paint then a clear coat twice to gloss and seal it, I used my own Wolf that I did years ago as reference and went to work. The end result is pretty darn good, At least I think so lol, and I was very happy with him, he still looks lean and athletic, but no longer has that goofy skinny look I hated so much about the original body....needless to say he saw it and was very pleased, he now has it on display in his office at home. I'm no pro at painting by any stretch but I was pleased with this paint job especially in how long I had to do it in. So let me know what you think and if anyone has any questions on how I did it please feel free to ask my friends. enjoy the pics, and I hope to get some good feedback.
Criticism welcome too, and pointers as well. Please do not bash on me though, I know I am not an expert painter by any means and don't claim to be, this is only like my 6th repaint I have done. I would also like to see other custom Wolf's that you all have done. Have an awesome day everyone.

Also does anyone know where I can get a good replacement for the silver tubes that connect to the helmet and plasma casters, I lost the ones for him in the shuffle somehow.
