Yes, I haven't really seen any cutout Predator blades before. I do carry a Boker knife for work, and it's basically the same idea as my Predator blades (except on a MUCH smaller scale) so I knew the metal would still be sound and not flex. I'm not disappointed with having the blades manually...

Totally forgot (like an idiot) to mention: they are 16.25" long, about 2" wide (varying of course), and thank you to VinMan for the templates they are based on! Charlie

Whew. It's been forever since I've been able to work on any Predator gear (work has been beating me into the ground). I still have my skins to work on, and various other parts, but due to the weather and my schedule I'll be working on some gaunts in the near future. I've been doing design...

Looks great!! I'm glad to see it all finished. Charlie

Well, I apologize to any waiting for an update, but the helmet is done. The RF is all installed, and works properly. :p The LEDs are in, and the housing attached. Here are the final pictures: The skins and dreads should be here this week. Unfortunately work is going to be picking up, so...

Very nice paintjob. I love 40k. Still have my armies, but haven't played in years. Pity your termies are Blood Angels though. Charlie

As far as special features and nifty stuff go, both of them were a let down on blu-ray. Of course as far as picture and sound quality of the actual movie go....YAY BLU-RAY! :( Plus, I got P1 for around $10 and P2 for $15. Not bad really, especially for blu-ray titles. Charlie

Ok, I have a few questions and I thought it would be best to get some input from the Lair. I'm doing my design work, prior to painting, for my Pred. I wanted to do an albino-esqe paint scheme, because I just really like the black and white look. (Obviously there will be some grey, and shading...

Found it at Wal-Mart. Much as I hate going to to Wal-Mart, it was $14.95. Beats the heck outta Best Buy's price. Just FYI for anyone interested in getting a copy. Charlie

This is an excellent idea. It really works well. I've used this technique myself (although I printed the design on the plastic sheet, and I actually have an old overhead projector. Makes it easier). Here's some examples of what you can do... The skull and scorpions were shadow cast on the...

Well, the laser are a bust. After having ruined a second set trying to get them installed the way I wanted, I said to heck with it and put in LEDs. It's not the effect I wanted, but it does light up, it is remote controlled, and it works. Maybe for ver 2.0 I'll go back to lasers, but for now...

Definitely a cool idea adding the piercings. And a very nice paint job as well! Charlie

Definitely an interesting paint scheme. What did you redred with? Charlie

Monkey, I have toyed with the idea of putting some electrical tape to block the lights. I've got to do more testing, and my big concern is that a lot of the light is seen because it's reflected inside the helmet. Since the lights don't turn on unless I turn them on, they're not going to surprise...

Right now, three of the clicking files, one of the yells, the death roar, the vision change, and rapid vision (4 in quick succession), and a modified gary bussey saying "the lions and tigers and bears oh my". (gary bussey file taken from the P2 DVD). There will be a bunch of dead spacing. With...
