Wish I had more cash to be able to get more of the Predator figures. Tried starting up a custom one, but cash got a little tight then.

whats the one with the half green face?

Great job! I like it's shape and that it fits perfect and deep on his face. And the paint job is awesome too (meanwhile, still needed to place two authentic star-shaped burns on it). I LIKE IT!
And I'm almost happy of your masks, but...

Sorry me so much, Bro, that I'm so late with all my criticism! ((

BUT there is one thing up to do, imho, maybe it will push you to make P1_Mask_v2.0.
The eyes, bro, he had to have some "sad eyes" to look like it was shown in the movie. His eyes is still not good looking. Would be cool to work on them. ;)


Hey is it possible to make it reflective like in the film? The eyes are glossy and better than before but reflective like in these photos would be AWESOME!
 
taylerdurdem: see something more???
I'll check it out this evening when will be at home, man, and will be able to place the movie into my rom. :D Ok?

As I can see on photos, you've already elongated his cheeks and make it round, right?

Also, I don't think that it's possible to make eyes mirror-like, like in the movie, having solid masks and using only painting job. Needed to place some sort of pellicle inside it, but I'm not sure that it's possible.

OR we need to have disassembled eyes, like on the HT mask, paint the visor into chrome (maybe, with some auto paint) and that put some black pellicle on it or paint it with black\gloss varnish mix from the air brush.

For MAX gloss I can recommend to use Games Workshop gloss varnish, most shiny varnish I've ever seed.

That does look pretty glossy. Close enough I guess. Can't do the impossible. Hmm...maybe put a clear piece of plastic or tape over it, then paint it? Or just simply paint it and get a glossy clear piece of tape over it! Ooooohhh. :D
 
Well, I think that even great gloss can be seen only in the life-motion around the item. :D Here is my little HT mask mod. As you can see I kept the netting under the eyes, but polished them by art.-water and covered with black paint mixed with water. Many gloss GamesWorkshop varnish putted after all.


And here is my preciousss! :D I'll make the full video review on my P1_mods when it will be sunny here. It's quite noir-style in Moscow now <_< sн**ty spring. But you still can see many Pred-videos here including P1 modding in progress.
So that was the looong job...

 
hello friends
I think I have solved the problem of the height of Predator 1
yourselves say

the problem of height. not in the neck. is in the abdomen. is very short

I've demonter the abdomen and filled with putty. the hollow of his thigh. to get Elebe abdomen. The belt closes the gap

Seem to me that he had disabled the body and placed the chest little bit up, well, like it should be.
Is it is still articulated?
 
fully articulated. in 1 hour perform the operation.

we have to remove the abdomen and hip.

in the hip area gets a putty ring of 8 mm + / -. the putty hardens within 20 minutes. separation is obtained abdomen. contra hip ..

the proportions is perfect now!!!!
in the photos is not well appreciated ... but I assure you it is worth

if you look at the abdomen of my predator. now there are 4 abdominal muscles.

in the abdomen of your predator. abdominal muscles are 3
 
oooo, so you leveled it in the hip area. I see now on photos!
Well, very interested... very interested! If you will make one more operation like this on another P1 figure (maybe) - give us the photos in progress, bro. ;)
 
you have to disassemble a hot toys body? know how to do it?

the body of the predator is the same system as normal true type body

the trick is to put the ring of caulk between the abdomen and hip

with a seat belt is not seen nothing. and articulated perfect.now my predator's perfect! now we need a painted
 
One more question - did you have to do anything to have his waist connect to the extended area now that it is raised? Was the waist still able to connect to the hip joint?

the abdomen and hip are joined by a pin with a spring
i had to cut the spring by half ...to exert adequate pressure on the new distance between abdomen and hip...

sorry my inglish..i use traductor on line
