Predator Legendary Scale Busts

If I were you guys I would contact Rafael(rrjrstatueman) to repaint it.Looks really good.

Webb how much you paid to repaint it? thanks

 

[turtlesforever]

wow that repaint is fantastic. Its just to bad that us collectors have to pay an arm and a leg for these things and then get them painted over. I guess we just gave up on QC. too bad.

I don't know if Rafael raised/lowered the prices or what,so I would rather not say it,just PM him,he will replay within a day.He lives in California too.

ok i said would post pics of my repaint wip here it is only half is complete i think it looks pretty good so far the pics are with flash so it looks brighter than it is

 

[Webb]

Oh I forgot,Rafael will repaint and straighten the teeth also,better he will put new acrylic teeth.

 

[MIKE M]

ok so i finally had time to take new pics its almost finished still a wip let me know what you think

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

I like it. Colors are much more vibrant.

I don't really like how large you made the spots on the center of his head, and how precise/straight their pattern is now, though.


Oh and I like the moist/wet look. Makes him appear more realistic and accurate.

 

[pepengagimat]

amazing paint job. looks much better! Was the armor repainted also?

 

[MIKE M]

i only added the blast mark on the armor, and the spots are only big to cover the old spots but they are not that bad, but its still a wip

 

[The Rider]

The Repaint looks very nice.
Its a Shame why Sideshow cannot this.

How difficult is it to take out the flared, inner teeth and reposition them to be straight? From what I read, rrjrstatueman, used a hairdryer on hot and wiggled them out. Has anyone besides rrjr done this? Any hints so I don't screw it up? Thanks

I cancelled this, my 1/5 Predator PO and won't buy any more LSB or 1/5 Preds cos SS can't get the glaringly obvious things like teeth, eye colour, paint patterns and accessories right. Both lines fail.

I'm curious what a full repaint would do for this. If I keep mine, might have to hit up Dunaway. Lucked out with straight teeth on mine. As of now, no real plans to get the P2 though or any other LSB's they do. A P2 Elder could be interesting though.

Here is mine that I reprinted and fixed/changed the teeth. Great bust and makes me want to get the p2 bust to go with it.

[turtlesforever]

ANy chance of a berserker or Wolf legedary scale bust? did they ever mention anything about those 2? I sure hope so

 

[mr.thrifty]

I'm sure they'll happen sooner or later.....
