Statue Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette (CANCELLED!... For now)

Fair enough. You know more about Predator accuracy than I do

Noooo, not at all, just my opinion my friend, but then I always did like a good bio. I agree the head is a bit narrow. I just think it isn't too bad. It certainly looks like the P2 to me where as the bio really doesn't at this point.

Here's a few pictures that may be a bit better than those you posted.

I agree with Python here that the unmasked head looks fine to me, I don't have a great eye for details, but to me the biomask and spear are much, much much more noticeable.
I also agree that the unmasked head could be better with an angrier/meanier expression, but that would really mean go extra mile. Can't see it happen in a thousand years.

Looks totally wrong without quills.

I always thought the mask itself in behind-the-scenes photos like the ones you posted didn't look accurate to the film either. The head looks smaller and less slanted, more resembling P1's design IMO. Perhaps when it's actually being worn, it fills out more or something, or my eyes are just playing tricks on me.

Maybe that's why it looks so off to me.

Both the unmasked AND the bio versions are very poor.

Shame Narin doesn't want to work with them - HE would get it right.

Narin heads and spear (and base!) to go with the rest - yeah - that'd float my boat! - ka-ching!

I agree with you 100%.

Good, so I'm not crazy.

Speaking of Narin, what is going on with his 1/3 P2?

I don't follow his work, but it seems like I've been hearing about this forever. If his sculpting is as accurate as you say, that could definitely be a grail.

Thought it was odd that I didn't even get a cancellation notice for my SS predator 2 maquette, just got the refund

Is it still in your Order History as Processing? My WL is still there, just the picture has gone.

Just a grey picture that links to a dead link Col, all of the info including flex payments made have been removed. Got my refund today, hmmm.... to find a P1 maquette?

If I didn't have so much stuff already coming I'd be on the hunt.

Narin is THE Predator sculpting God - the only person ever to have improved on Stan's original P1 & P2 designs, and the very best at getting accurate movie likenesses. I owe him an email so I'll let you know if there's an update (he's been busy working on non-Pred stuff lately).

Did any pictures of his Berserker painted ever emerge?

Was that painted by Narin himself? That looks excellent, I just wish it was bigger.
