Action Figure Neca 1/4th Predator Custom Mod Thread Only

[greygoose]

Well I couldn't resist, I did a very crude test and I don't think this will work, the honeycomb pattern is a little big, comments please.

It's too big but nice effort though. What was that material you used?

I have a bagged sample product called Knead-A-Mold that us kit builders use if a resin part breaks or we want to cast a duplicate of something real quick.

They are little 1/4 jars like in the picture below(those jars are a bit larger than the ones I have)....they are just samples but it's enough to cast something to try it out. The stuff works great.

Now if you want to get super high tech and play with the big boys, then I can point you in the right direction to someone who does great casting work and may help you out.

So if you want, shoot me a PM with your address and I will send you out a sample so you can try it. And then if you like it, you can order some...it's up too you.

Heres their website if your interested: https://www.townsendatelier.com/store/knead_a_mold.php

It is a honeycomb pattern sheets of metal that a Xerox machine uses, I thought it looked cool and I could use it for something. I wonder, Would a screen from a window work, now I must find out.

 

[highlanderpdx]

Well here is another crude test, I tried window screen, the holes are not tight enough (yes I know I set myself up for a "thats what she said" joke). I will keep looking, I want to find all the elements I need before I try the Bio mod.

ask baloo for the lense, he knows how you can do it

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

IMO, if you're going to put the mesh look in, you need to get some real lenses first, then put the mesh behind them.

I finally was able to fix the visor gap and removed the seam as well. I then added the laser lights to finish that part of it. I'll do some work on the lenses once I repaint it. I ended up making another bio for my other closed Mouth Pred from some mold making material a friend of my gave me awhile back. It wasn't easy, but I think it came out ok which is a good thing since I was only able to make one of them.

 

[Xerowolf]

Wait.. you made a removeable bio for the closed mouth? Nice! how does it look? Is it too big/small? It fit well?

No I wish, I just made a spare bio for it have as an accessory, but it does not fit flush on the face because the mandi's stick out too much. I doubt any mask made will fit the stock face unless the mandi's get modded.

whats your process for molding the extra mask? and what products did you use.

I want a recast bio like that just to sit at my closed mouth pred's feet. Anyone making any?

I'm no customizer or anything but what if you used an exacto knife and straight edge to score the lines into the lense?

lol. that will not work. the black paint on the lenses will crack were you would cut and you would have wiggly white lines. even if you cut straght.

they look like replacement bios for the helmeted figure. the gap in the visor and the seam on the top have been fixed. they'd make cool accessories for the unmasked figures even though they can't be worn.
