Favorite Predator 2 Sculpt

[Detale78]

I thought it would be interesting to see which sculpt of the Predator 2 was everyone's favorite. I have narrowed it down to the 3 that are the most readily available at the moment.

First we have Bob Dullum's Sculpt which was painted by GK Asylum and is currently owned by GK Asylum:

Next is Bob Bagy's Sculpt which was painted by The Mortal Immortal and is currently owned by Detale78:

Lastly we have Usurper's Sculpt which was painted by Usurper and is currently owned by 915Stag51:

Larry and Issac I hope you don't mind me posting your busts. My personal favorite is Bob Dullums, Followed by Usurpers, and then the Bob Bagys.

The last one looks most like him to me...

Call it bias, but I like the Usurper version since I am painting one of those for 915Stag51. Don't ask me why he needs a second, but here are some work in progress pics.

The GK Asylum version is probably the most sculpturally accurate, and the paint job on that mouth is excellent.

915Stag51 is also going to have me paint up one of the Bagy's sculpts, which I think looks very interesting. Again, don't know why he needs so many Predator 2 busts, but I'm enjoying the experience. The above pics are actually the first 1:1 scale paint job I've ever done. What do you think so far?

I've since finished the mouth, and now have to do the teeth.

Hi SS. Great job on the paint up. What paints are you using? The paint job itself looks first rate but the paints seem to be letting you down a bit.

I like them all but Bob Dullum's sculpt is probably my favorite, the teeth look the best on that one. imo

Curious, what makes you say they're letting me down? It's not finished or glossed yet. What are you seeing other than that?

 

[Reinhardt]

Bob Dullum's for me. He has a bigger mouth which makes him more menacing.

Hi SS. I misunderstood. My bad. i thought you had finished the crown and were going on to finish the teeth.

Just as an FYI, that sculpt by Bob was HEAVILY modified by Larry himself before he painted it... he fixed it up quite a bit compared to what the original sculpt looks like. So that one you posted is really customized.

Hia Everyone.

As i dont think its possible to get ahold of the Bob Dullham one ( Please correct me if im wrong cus then im gonna buy that one in a splitsecond ).

So it really only leaves the bob bagy one and Lee`s version.

Atm i have Lee`s at home and are still w8ting for bobs ( if he ever sends it to me )

I think that Lee`s is the best of the 2 but i belive that bobs are more accurate to the consept scetches in the winston effect.
Bobs looks a bit more aggresive also.

I really really like the way you painted the P2 Silent its probably the best painjobb of Lee`s sculpt i have seen to this date.

As for having more than 1 P2 hehe i have the one From Lee and 2 Bagy ones ,, 1 painted up for me by Elm studios and the other im gonna try myself Ill also buying a raw one from Lee as soon as he lets me

The real bugger of having so many made is the darned Dreads and beads they are going to cripple my economy badly

Kind Regards
Jimmy

Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad my first 1:1 paint job is becomming a success. I will be finishing the teeth tonight (barring any unforseen) and may have finished pics minus dreads. The owner has the dreads waiting at his home.

Hey Silent, I can never have enough Preds man ...I say the P2 ou are doing up for me is gonna be the SHIZNIT, but then I also like the Baggy P2 which is why I got one aswell , cant wait to get them all finished up man.....

Here it is, finally done. It is my first lifesize piece, and it was a hell of a learning experience. Mostly I learned that my airbrush sucks bad for such large scale stuff. This project should have taken 2/3rds less time, but I spent so much of it cleaning and unclogging the damn thing.

Still, I love the end result, and it's a great piece to add to my portfolio. 915Stag51 showed me a lot of faith asking me to do this for him after seeing some of my 1/6 stuff, and I told him I was confident I could do it. Now I know I can. Thanks again to him. 915Stag51 will be putting on the dreads and putting in the eyes.

 

[uscmhicks]

awesome work.

 

[915stag51]

Daaaaaamn silent, looks bad ass man!!!!!!! Expect more work soon.....

 

[galactiboy]

Damn SilentSurfer... that is insanely impressive, it almost seems impossible for someone to be able to turn out that kind of work

 

[Xterminatus]

absolutely beutiful work man ,,,,breathtaking to say the least

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks, guys. I wasn't sure how this would be received since so many of us are die hard Pred fans. I guess it's successful.
