Hes already done the mod successfully.
But yeah, its true, if youre too concerned, too worried, then you will most likely mess up.
Thanks for your tutorial, by the way. It was a great help.

Hey all, here's a couple of shots of mine with his bio-mask modded and I dirtied up the armor a little more.

Nice work!

Of course not, my friend. I think it mightve been the other NECA Predator thread where he says hes done the mod.

Ok, here we go!

I'm going to attempt to convert the NECA 18" Predator into the Elder "Greyback" from P2 with a little help from my buddy Joe.

There will be some sculpting as well as some customizing, hand fabricated and modifications done to the piece.

When I'm done, it will be raw with sculpted parts and accesories that will be ready to be primed up for painting.

Then I'm shipping it off to Joe Dunaway for a wicked paintjob on the Predator as well as all the accesories. This is when it will start looking like the Greyback.

When Joe's finished with it, It will come back to me for final assembly.

Now it won't be exactly movie accurate in some areas of the customizing (I know there are some fanatics here), but I will surely try my best.

So I started with the Flintlock pistol. I acquired one of these at my Comic shop. It's from the 18" Jack Sparrow figure. I remove all the parts that I don't need.

I shorten the bottom barrel. I cut the handle of the gun down and sculpt & smooth a small half circle to the end of the handle.

I sculpt in part of the hammer, pan and a frizzen on the flintlock using a part from Jack Sparrows gun. I also add that signature gold ring to the top.

I sculpt the plate which Raphael Adolini's signature is written and add some straps on the middle and end of the barrels.

More to come so please stay tuned.....

You're very ambitious! Keep us posted please.

I really great repeat client of mine, huge transformers and predator fan, saw my pred and wants it.. he likes the movie look, but thought making the armor chrome would look really unique... so here is the start..

I found this along time ago..... If you want to add a twist to yours.

i don't see much that couldn't turn out to be accurate. really, the tough parts would be his dreads right gauntlet. basically everything else is already there or just requires some little sculpted details and fabric. the Sparrow flintlock is a great idea and i never would've thought of that.

uh oh, whats different about his right gauntlet as opposed to the orignal Predator design?

I don't think I saw in any reference pictures if he has blades in there, or maybe?

 

[prefused]

the top of his right gauntlet is from the P2 armor. you can see it on the NECA 7" Elder too. everything else is P1 though.
