HT original Predator- photo thread

Have to say I'm a bit bummed that you are working on a new mask already.
It looks fantastic but I only bought one from you about two months ago.
Now there is a better one coming along.
Should I hold out for the DX mask

I have to say that it is a _____. but I can not stop doing things that he has sold before.
My intention is not to resell the mask again. I make the mask for me. and if after people ask me enough. I make molds
dun also say it will offer discount on my old buyers. I do not think that the final mask. I can not improve more.
also .... although there are no molds. tarry a while yet
I guess from now. I will do other models

No worries Alex.
I totally understand.
Doesn't make sense to update the mask and not sell the new one.
Believe me if I were in your shoes I would do the same thing.
Just playing with with you a little.
Forgive my whining

I'm a bit bummed out too as I already got two masks (regular and BD), but I totally understand that you always try to improve, Alejandro, so no worries there. I'm not at home at the moment so I can't do a direct comparising with the masks I have and your new WIP, but as I already loved your old masks so much, I don't know if I even need a new one, as awesome as it surely will be. Looking forward to more pics of it though.

Wow, a new Bio really makes a huge difference... It's like falling in love with the figure all over again...

Don't be discouraged brother. I will buy every version you make. I'm serious. You are the new master of custom 1:6 Predator Bios to me.

I wanted to publicly apologize for the delays this past month.
month has been a complicated for me and I have not had time to work on the mask

all orders of the mask have been sent today.
but I do not have my clients and I can not send MP to each of you

but knowing that everyone who expected a mask. have been sent today
just go back to apologize for the delays and to thank you very much for your trust and your time

Thanks to all!

here are some of my Predators
- love the MEAN look of p1
I also adjusted his body so the torso doesn't look so short. you see the 8-pack instead of just the 6...
I did the hot water treatment as well - didnt wanna chance stressing the rubber if I pulled them out...

 

[taylerdurdem]

great shots!!
torso fit just right. I believe that this figure is necessary

 

[Furious1]

Is that the mod where you raise the torso down by the waist?

actually it's not a mod at all - it's just a minor adjustment - the belt doesnt go down much further, but the upper body -- remember the first predator's posture - Kevin Peter Hall was a martial artist and always stood straight up with his chest back adjust the pelvis back a little and the ribcage up -- you'll see that it makes a big difference and it starts to really do the figure justice...=)

the only reason the head is angled up a bit is I like how the face looked in the pic, but obviously his head can tilt down from that upper body angle

Thanks! I definitely agree - it's a must-have!

So it was really just a matter of adjusting the mid-torso joint in such a way that he stands up straighter?

Sigh I really love seeing Predator pictures here

Btw tayler, where did you stick the end of your rubber tubes from your mask? Hide it behind the hair also?

Big difference in the look with the longer torso.

 

[demorathis]

senkyou...

and yes just an adjustment to make him stand with better porture - I always wondered what it was that bugged me about his stance, and then I just adjusted him a tad and POOF - it's mini Kevin Peter Hall in a Predator suit...!!

all I need now is an elder pred and I'll be happy! anyone one have one for sale or trade? =)

 

[FLOSI]

Your pics have me wanting a Lost Pred.... All the chances I've had to snag that piece and now, well after the fact, I want him.

Nice adjustment. And Elder 2 is like impossible to get for a reasonable price these days. And reasonable being about $500-$550 or so.
