NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[Furious1]

To be honest, I might actually try to "repaint" him using sharpie fine point markers...I think it might just work if I can lay down the right base...

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Be careful, sharpies sometimes don't dry on all plasics, especially clones. I've had experience. I did not prime the figure though.

 

[Furious1]

Yea, I'll prime and dull coat first.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Thats a good idea, I wish you the best of luck my friend. I can't wait to see W.I.P pics. I will be painting my figs, not sure how so though.

 

[CelticPredator]

Paintings pretty easy. I repainted my Wolf ages ago...

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I kid, its only hard to make it look really really good. Okay, that may still sound mean, its not meant to...

 

[CelticPredator]

Took me a few hours. It really wont offend me if you dont like it.

I have no painting skills...but it isnt that hard. You gotta blend everything correctly and all that crap./

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I actually like it, I understand that painting is tricky. I find it hard and time consuming.
Here's my attempt....FAILED

My latest Predator paint up:

 

[Biojex]

Did you resculpt his face, elder?

 

[CelticPredator]

That's the Hot Toys figure.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Yes, thats HT but they are the same character and I was showing how I changed scheme and also posting my work to show it.

 

[Biojex]

That's the Hot Toys figure.

I know, i was wondering if he resculpted it. but i'm guessing its just paint

 

[Elder_Predator2]

No comment on the looks of it? I'm joking. Just a repaint of the guy. Needs gloss though.

Nah dude, it looks great.

A nice improvement.

If you brought that brownish yellow down over the rest of the head, it'd be great.

If you repainted the top part it does in fact look good. the rest just looks crappy he needs some sun

Ouch... thats a harsh way to put it and the skin looks more green in person.

 

[CelticPredator]

I hope it's not done. Because if it is, it's horrible.

It looks like a primer before the final paint job.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I decided to do drybrushing of a darker linen and green over the light area after the picture was taken. It should and will darken it up a bit. Yes, but like I said earlier it really isn't as light as the photo shows.

Yeah, like I said, as long as you darken it up a bit, it'll look great.

 

[CelticPredator]

But there's no detail. You only painted half the head, and there's still some left. Gotta paint that, and add the dots, make the burn look real....you got tons of work to do.
