I think the bio is from TD but I'm not 100% sure.

Lipsmack - I'll enlarge those pictures just for you buddy!

Im holding you to it

I noticed the beads in the dreads fade over time so I tried to paint the gold back and added gloss to the dreads to make it more slimy. Here's a before and after shot.

I'm really digging that Mod,think i'm gonna have to copy you mate.

 

[esbtransformers]

This mod is really good. How did you paint the hair?

had a couple pms about what i used to make the stuff...


the skull necklace and spine trophy are created from 1 piece which is this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Toys-M...9958?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item20dd8f4e86

you can find it cheaper if you do some digging...

you basically cut the necklace apart, find some brown colored cord from a hobby store that is the same size as the cord you cut up, white wash the parts w/ white watered down acrylic to your preference, restring the skulls on one cord and get the length you like and tie it off, restring the spine on another cord to the length you like and tie it off, then you are done!

the elbow straps are basically from suede or leather necklaces you find at the hobby store... only run a couple bucks... and there is plenty of length to cut up to get it the way you like it. just find one that is close to the color you like and simply cut it up w/ an exacto knife and pop them on, very simple.

cheap and easy and adds a lot to an already awesome figure.

Nice work on your custom parts... But seems from your links on the videos that the color is wrong. The necklace isn't white... it's much darker and the skulls are more white than brown. And also the size of your skulls are way too big if you look at them vs the movie versions. The scar predator skulls match the size a lot better.

Comparison between the 3...

Movie:



Yours:



Scar:



Not trying to take away from your custom work, just seems that the scar parts are more in scale with the movie. Either way your parts look nice.

i did the same thing except i used black leather cord and i didnt repaint them and i have some other stuff from germanbeast the necklace and bicep piece and biomask

 

[German Beast]

i agree with you the skull size could i do smaller .

the paint Color i do more movie like now it was very lightlty in the Video of course .

i will do that when i am ready with the chopper gun .
all part are finished now for chopper 2.0 :=)
i will scale the scar pred trophys to down size my necklace the skull .
that is a hard work to sculpt so small part ..
but thanks for you comment that gives me more Inspiration do my work better :=)
for me it was first to make the skull movie accurate of Kind of killed animals ..
i gonna start next week with down sizing theme ..
let's do this

Yea I wasn't sayin your work isn't good ... It is! And it has to b hard to sculpt those tiny skulls! But def scale them down and personally I think they will look a lot more movie accurate. Looking forward to the final results!

For the gold, I used testors acrylic gold gloss. For the slimy look, I used gloss lustre. Hope this helps.

 

[German Beast]

for reverence i used this Picture.
form of the skulls ok . the snake and turtel smaller .
but smaller means loosing detail

 

[MIKE M]
