superb, better every time

I look forward to every update you make. This is incredible stuff!

Heres a shot of the final head sculpt. I think it looks pretty good!

I added the little teeth in the front and on the sides and put a few more boney protrusions around.

I'm not too crazy about how long the front mandibles are. From my reference pics, they look to be a bit shorter in length.

One more modification to the mandibles and we're all done...

More to come...

That is just so impressive. I so look forward to your updates everyday, and you definitely have yet to even come close to disappointing

Can't wait to see what Joe does with this!!!

 

[greygoose]

Very impressive work.

 

[adegregorio]

Thanks guys, glad you like it...

Well, I trimmed down the mandibles to the correct size. I also beefed up the right tooth a little bit.

I made the tooth so it comes off. I did this so Joe could paint the inside of the mouth. Otherwise, it would have been very tricky to paint.

Joe wanted me to prime the head and send him a pic to see if I needed to change or alter anything. He likes it! Says it ready for paint.

Ok, a few more full shots of the whole piece assembled and then it's off to Joe's lair...

 

[greygoose]

Lookin' good there boss.

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

[Rotfish]

"I will finish what you started!" (Predators quotes have officially started )

 

[adegregorio]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the great comments.

I know you guys are hardcore fans of the predator, so I knew this had to be done right. And I'm really glad I took on the challenge.

Awesome guys, thanks!!!

 

[adegregorio]

Well, this is it! He's finally finished. I must say this was a long and daunting project. He's all packed up and ready to ship to Joe.

I want to say thanks to all the guys who commented and all of you who helped me out tremendously (you know who you are).

So heres the final shots (missing a few conversions but they are there).
I took these pics earlier so they may look a bit different. The last modification I did was sand down the gums a little more and add the longer dreads to the fronts and sides.

It looks a bit odd with all the different colors and such, so try to picture the Elder somewhere under there.

Man I can't wait too see how Joe paints this up.

Thanks for lookin guys.

 

[adegregorio]

Thanks for lookin guys.

cant wait to see this done up by joe man, great work

 

[azurepred]

you did a really good job, I imagine Joe is gonna do the bones for him as well?

 

[toyrewind]

excellent work!

question, how are you going to put the netting back?

Thanks guys!

Everything is removable. I completely took it apart. I also wanted to remove the netting so Joe wouldn't have to paint thru it. It's much easier for him this way.

For the legs: I built/sculpted it so it can be taken apart where the front loin cloth lines up with the legs. So I pop out the legs, tuck the netting in and pop the legs back in the slots.

For the chest: It comes off at the waist. Tuck the netting under the belly and at the neck. Then I'll just glue the parts back on.

You're probably sick of hearing it but that is insane, man lol!

Just for fun I popped in the Blu-ray of the film and did some comparing and you nailed pretty much everything on him so sweet work indeed.

I assume you'll add the quills and beads after you get him back from Joe? No doubt he'll paint the dreads grey like they are in the film.

I can't wait to get a look at this thing when you get him back!

Awesome work adegregorio!! You're going to have yourself a grail on your hands after Joe paints that bee-otch up
