Is it easy to put a laser light in a new mask?

I have not tried. I lack knowledge of electricity; .... but I have to say that there is little space within the mask ...
maybe someone else will be able to get a LED ..

Got somebody in mind, Hurricane can do that led.
Look for the pictures am gonna post on a ALIENS shoulder lamp he did, ille be posting this weekend.
They will be in the building your marines correctly thread.

About the Predator, When it was first released, i did not notice that there was a difference.
Thought it was already perfect in every way, but it Looks even more like the real original predator with that mask.

Question: What did you do to make the dreads fall down like that? Care to shed some light? Mine's like hanging.

Question: What did you do to make the dreads fall down like that? Care to shed some light? Mine's like hanging.

i did the pull out mod, pioneered by A-dev i believe.

heres his description

-Pull the dreadlocks out - in stages. I started from the front, worked backwards, and did only so many at once as I believed I could keep track of. I laid them out on a flat surface in an arrangement which mirrored their location on the Predator's head.

*note* not all of the dreadlocks will come out cleanly. Some will tear leaving a stump inside the hole on the head. I didn't consider this a disaster. Just make sure you pull on the dreads as close to the root as you can get so that any tears will be hidden near the predator's skull or inside the holes.

-Now notice how the dreads are all curved, how on the figure this curve makes all the dreads flow backwards behind the shoulders. The simple remedy to this is to turn them around so that curve now makes them flow forwards. Just drip some glue in the holes on the head and put the dreads back on with this in mind. Every now and then stop and put the biomask on the figure so you can see what it will look like.

-By repositioning the dreads on the side of the head to flow forwards you may notice that it looks like you're creating empty spaces or bald patches. So you probably will have to adjust all the dreads accordingly to fill in these spaces.

Thank you so much! Not sure if I dare to try pulling them out, but maybe I can try from the least noticeable one.

yeah I was terrified at first, but after i pulled out the first dread the rest was easy.

Nice to be referanced, thanks Biojex. Your predator looks stunning, the dread-mod combined with the new mask looks to be everything I expected it would be. Only damned incredible.

 

[marker2037]

Those shots are fantastic. Beautiful mask, great dread mod.

 

[fawk3s]

Thats not actually the best way to do it. I used, I think it was Devil_666's method? Started with P2 and succeeded, so I've been doing it to all my preds since then (except for P2 Elder and Wolf, they didnt need it).
Its pretty much the same, you have to pull the top dreads out. You can do this one by one so you dont lose the track. Then insert a small piece of wire in the top part of the dread and pose it how you think is best. Then use SuperAttack or some shiet to glue it back. Very simple and I guarantee you wont break your figure. Its that simple.
