Re: NECA 18" Predator conversion to the "Elder Greyback" **UPDATE 8/29**

Thanks guys!!!

Well heres the dreads done with all the bead work. It took a while to place them and fit them in the right places, taking them on and of the head...but overall I'm very happy with how these turned out.

When I was sculpting the added features on the face, I knew that would make or break the look of the Elder...the beads were the same way.

More pics coming up...

That is too cool. Even if NECA puts out a P2 Elder, I'd hold onto that custom if I were you. Your incredible attention to detail and Joe's one-of-a-kind paint skills... just an incredible custom all-around.

Thanks guys. It really is coming along nicely.

I actually had a few offers for this one, but honestly, all the work me and Joe put into this one, it would be very hard to give it up.

what are you gonna use for netting?

I can tell you right now...the netting is going to be an issue...

I don't want the squares to small to where they cover up all Joes painted skin work. But at the same time, I don't want it to be too big and awkward looking.

I do have an assortment of nets that I have collected and I have some that may work.

The openings are a tad larger than I want them too be. I'm still on the lookout, but if I don't find something, this netting will have to do.

Don't worry, I'll make it work!

Dude, get the best you can.

You've gone this far.. Have someone sew it for you or something.

Re: NECA 18" Predator conversion to the "Elder Greyback" **UPDATE 8/30**

you should find out where Endo got the netting he used for his 19" custom. or at least try to get some from him.

then tell us where to get it.
