To be quite honest, I don't think Royce is the kind of guy to do something like that, he's too collected and pragmatic to carry around trophies like chopped off heads. Unless he got some immediate use out of them, that is. A bio would work for him, with all the gimmicks inside and all. But...

That would be the Gort. There's a picture of KPH wearing it while in full P1 gear. Nice find on that article!

Interesting question, I for one never noticed there's a difference between P1 and P2 locking mechanisms. The more I think of it, the way I see it is this: Both are kind of silly. Art, you mentioned Hellfire missiles. Point is, they need the laser beam to track the target after being detached...

Just think of the last scene in Predator, where he takes both off in front of Arnie to make it into a fist fight. I really don't see a problem with a suit without cannon/backpack, it just means you're going lean and are a close quarters fighter ;-) I actually quite like that. I also dig the...

Working plasma caster and cloaking device. At the very least. Self destruct nuke... optional.

For those of you who'd like to know about weapons, especially weapons used in movies, there's this awesome website called internet movie firearms database. At least to me it seems these guys really know their guns, and not just about "only what you see here, pal", but about phased plasma rifles...

That steam punk Pred is awesome!! How did you do that? any WIP pics?? That's madness! Lucky he probably forgot about the whole thing a short time later... *cough cough* :)

Ah, touche. You're right, but what I meant was rather in comparison to the notion of the Predators in AVPR and PS deviating from the original movie's concept of a hunter as opposed to AVP. I didn't intend to shoot down your idea btw. I personally just think that what once was an original...

It seems we are mixing up terms here. A hunter to me is someone who hunts to satisfy his own (people's) needs and nothing more. So I'd go the other way, and say that AVP was further away from the original concept than any other Pred related movie. It was the Running Man show of the Predator...

I've been thinking about this for a long time and decided I need a professional solution... so currently, my bio with dreads setup is sitting on a 20cm piece of 2x4 standing upright on a metal drinking mug turned upside down, which itself is standing on my shoe closet. So there.

I'm guessing it depends on how you want to do it and how good you can do that. Do you want to paint your stuff yourself? Sculpt everything yourself? And have you ever done that before? If not, might be a good idea to start with something small to get into it, cos I think you'd shoot yourself if...

You're all wrong. Everybody knows that Stan Winston simply wanted to help out a friend whose backer rod business was about to go broke. He assumed (and correctly so), that nearly 20 yrs after the making of the movie, a bunch of nerds would obsess over this, and they'd need backer rod to get...

I wonder why none of us ever thought of using backer rod... in all that time... and the solution was right in front of our eyes...

Won the lottery, you have?? Great stuff!! No need to shout, though. ;-)

you can buy small laser modules fairly cheap on ebay, is what I did. It's kick-ass, and relatively easy to assemble. Expect your pals to go apeshit when they see that... ;-) There are a couple of threads floating around about how to best align them so they produce the famous triangle over...
