Endoskeleton...repaint

[r5150s]

Hi all..I know that this is a Sideshow Collectible forum and I've been hunting for a HT endo for quite some time now but I haven't found one yet. Right now, I have to settle for a Neca endo which is not really a bad figure...has a lot of potential. I'm more of a model builder than collecting ready made toys but this forum got me hooked ..I just pre ordered the Predator 1 and "Dutch"...anyways I have a pic here of my repainted/modified Neca endo.

Hope you enjoy the pics..!

I used Alclad II Chrome and gloss black for the base...I modified the hip joint and the way the the two front leg pistons were modified too to look the HT version..

so is this just painted on or air brushed?

airbrushed ...and filled the screw holes too

Me, I can't airbrush. It's what I would use though. I've seen the results it gives and like the pictures show, impressive. I need to do the handlebars of Arnold's bike with it. I'm also not sure how the paint reacts to the soft, rubber like cables. I know the plastic is fine with it.

Did you mode the teeth? seems a bit odd... especially the upper part

crap.. count me out.. out of all the 18" figures I have this is one I would definetly keep.

yes the teeth are modded but I did the bottom...these figures are notorious for the jaw not lining up so i modified it too..

thanks for the prop guys !

Did you disassemble it for painting?

very nice, for a second there i thought it was the 1:1 scale from Sideshow. Very good job.

Just because it may be of interest, I saved this picture of a disassembled Neca from somewhere.

 

[r5150s]

yes...head, legs and and torso are disassembled..

Very nice. Did you use Alclad's base gloss black or some other brand of gloss black laquer/enamel?

i used Alclad gloss black but i guess you can use any other laquer/enamel too..i tried a spray can gloss black on a spare hand that it came with and it works fine...but decided to use the Alclad cause I never really wanted to mix paint brands...I'm used to using Tamiya Acrylics and tried it too but never liked the end results...

the Alclad chrome/gloss black combo yields the best result..
