Event Horizon could have been cool if PWSA didn't rip off Lifeforce and Hellraiser.

My pleasure man, and welcome to the freaks forums!

Could you tell us a bit on how you did those?

I started with the Mcfarlane 12" Scar preds, removed the head,hands,legs,feet, fought and pried the torso apart and then dremmeled out the armour.
Then, I took the DC Direct body, cut away part of the neck post and glued in place the nect post from the scar torso. I took the HT leg armour and gauntlets and heated them up with a lighter to get them soft enough to strech over the calves and forarms of the dc direct body(which is much thicker than the HT body.) the let them cool on the body.
The HT body netting is much stronger than most people assume, and it streched over the body quite easy(I did have to cut the leg opening to fit over the calves, but thats all)
I just painted up the body, applied the netting , I cut up and modified the armour( notice the marvel legends planet hulk shoulder armour)
made the kilt out of leather scrap's. I used two old Macfarlane spears for the spear, and I sculpted the bio out of sculpy. For the dredlocks, I used shoelace, burt the ends, and went to the craft store for some scale beads that looked right, and finally, stole the plasma caster from one of my resin kits and thats the recipe.
The other predator (silver) I had made the netting from a wave hair net and just cut-placed-superglued into place.

Sandman, your custom Predators are awesome man, good work!

I just put together my Ancient Predator Elder (my first Pred) and let me just say, that son of a B!tch was hard to put together!! It too me like 3 hours over to days (I gave up the first) to finish him. The end result is F@#KING AWESOME though, the size of the figure, the detail and the weaponry are just another reason why Hot Toys F'N RULES!!

I am getting a Scar Predator next week, thankfully that one is already put together and I think I'm going to get Chopper, Celtic and Elder too, they are just too sweet to pass up! Thanks guys for convincing me to get these, my wallet hates you though!

I'll post some pics of my Pred's when I get my Scar.

Regarding Hot Toys Predators...

You will be buying more, let me tell you. Once you get one, you end up getting as many as you can.

I don't think a truer statement has ever been spoken. I just got my Ancient Elder, I have a Scar lined up and I am already looking forward to getting the other three!! Needless to say I am addicted!!
