Freaked Out
Re: NECA 1/4 Predator
Where the mandibles touch the inside face of the mask its already about 0.5mm thick, wouldn't want to go any thinner. Not sure if bending them in would allow the mask to fit closely to the face, it may well be the wrong shape anyway. If you look at the Hot Toys predator figures with removable mask I think the mandibles are removed to put the mask on.
I thought I'd posted pics if the mask on the closed mouth head, but I might have forgotten. Here are a few I took after I painted it.
I just need to figure out a way to attach it more solidly without damaging the best, it'll stay in place so long as nothing touches the shelf but it slides off easily.
Been sidetracked away from the predators by a full size Stormtrooper helmet build. For now the predators stand either side of my TV, happy to leave them as they are until NECA bring out the AvP versions.
