[edstuff]

Wow with TD's bio and P's neck mod that figure looks amazing

 

[taylerdurdem]

yeah..
and the neck mod is imperative in this figure ...DAMN HOTTOYS!!

 

[Eamon]

is the neck mod hard to do and can it be undone once it's done?

 

[Furyan]

Yeah 5$ plus eye conection...if you want..i can put you in my order list

What is the eye connection?

It depends. I'm sure it can be done in a way that is more reversible, if youre deliberate and careful about it, I was not, so it's a done deal.
However once you've done it, I don't think you'll ever want to reverse it.

the latest and easiest way, and it's not reversable.

Anyone,anyone at all?

Thanks. Now I have to decide which one to get. Both look really good...

I wanted to share my modded City Hunter.
I drybrushed gold on all his armor, replaced the strings on his manpurse and groin armor, and removed the elastic on his knee pads, chopped off a bunch of his neck, and of course added Taylerdurdems awesome P2 upgrade kit. Thanks TD!



Where'd u get that unpainted base? Looks BA.... even better once painted...

 

[Dr. Odd]

That base is from an old halycon predator 2 model kit, I do need to get on painting it...

 

[Furyan]

Can someone point me in the direction of the neck mod I keep hearing about?

Repainting all the armor on my P2 to be a bit more accurate and detailed. I'm using what reference I can find, mostly from The Hunter's Lair. One of the things I really like about the actual costume that the Hot Toys figure doesn't have is a lot of variety in finishes and levels of grime and corrosion.

The disc will need to be painted again since I snapped that one in half. Luckily I have the left over one from my Shadow Pred custom and anyway I'm not super happy with the paint job on it so I welcome another go.

customs like that should be banned from posting because they make our

collections absolutely cheap and miserable!

 

[Tabula Rasa]

Ha, nobody beats dedguy when it comes to making HT Predators as perfect as they can be.

I want to do something about the color of the body netting as well but I'm not sure I want to paint it. I took it off him and it got all tangled up and was hell to untangle. I'm worried if I soak it in paint it will get super tangled in the process.
