I purchased 2 EXes of these young hunters looking to display each with different portraits and different switch out hands. But I didn't like how SS used decals and is missing those quills on the head, which for me is a vital part of the character. Anyhow, I don't have him listed, but I'd let one of them go to a "real" Predator fan in here, which is all of you guys I assume. :)

I would be interested in your City Hunter. Plus it would have to be the summer when I buy it from you say about june time if I can save, where are you located? as its going to germany to get a complete overhaul of the statue. I sent you a PM about the piece
 
Ahaa... you got the left one and I got the right one. Where did you get it from? If I get to know of an available disc hand I will let you know it. Please, do the same if you get to know of a mask hand :) Thanks

I just got lucky and found it on eBay. I will definitely sound the alarm if I come across another

A known predator collector and painter (neny dee) repainted the unmasked headsculpt of mine, IMO it turned out great. I went ahead and repainted the base to a more lava rock look and clear bone structure. And I also repainted lots of the armor with more copperish colors and more accents of green spots of oxidation.

That looks heaps better. I actually saw this for the first time in person today, and was actually very impressed. Only thing I disliked was that I thought the paintjob on the unmasked portrait looked too flat and dry. This repaint seems to fix that as it seems to have much deeper colours and a more wet look to it.

Seeing this in person and how impressive it was made me really excited for the Jungle Hunter Maquette.

Haha, nah I know how a lot of people on this forum are like. I always thought it looked pretty good in pictures, but it's always different seeing it in person. I personally had no interest buying it as I was always holding out for a Jungle Hunter Pred, but I still thought this one was cool.

But yeah, I know a lot of people on this forum can be very critical, especially when it comes to Predator and Terminator. I guess I'm less fussy. I think if I owned this, the only mod I'd do to it is maybe apply some clear varnish, especially on the mouth area, to give it more of a wet look. Would make the colours pop more too. Otherwise it's a great looking piece and if the Jungle Hunter turns out looking like this I'don't be pretty happy.
 
Here is some pic's of my repainted Predator and re-sculptured with the open mouth, this statue is so amazing when you see this in person, i'm so happy owning this amazing work of art.Pred 1.JPG
 
Not all of the pictures are loading for me but it looks great. And I see that you have a retracted spear too!
