Some acrylics from the local hobby/crafts store, and regular old sculpey man.

Wow looks awesome. Neca's predator are the best to customise. Never ending possibilities.

Is Sculpey sandable after baking?I have that queen skull ready to bake but i have to smooth it out or sand it.Cool custom on the figure its awesome to see new customs.I wish hot toys were cheaper to custom,too afraid to ruin them.

 

[torredator]

it looks really good to me,


i am in the process of making my own Pred from a wrestling figure, and i am stompped with the kind of paint to use .
the paint i am using is Testers Brand and i let it dry the time it tells you to, but it stays tacky...and i am getting fraustrated with it!

what brand paint do you use for the figure?

Awesome work, Reyals. Love the dark, reddish skin and grey armour combo. Any chance of pics of the finished pred?

Make sure you use acrylic paints as enamels can remain tacky and never dry on some kinds of plastics. Testors make both enamels and acrylics. Personally, I prefer Games Workshop paints: they're bloody expensive but you generally get what you pay for.

Oh yeah man. I still have to finish the hands and legs. As sson as they are finished I will be posting the complete figure. I will more than likely add a little bit more accessories to him though.

I had to do a little sanding on the tusks, but was very careful about it.

 

[Origami Unicorn]

thanks for answering my question

 

[deepincision]

I had to do a little sanding on the tusks, but was very careful about it.

Is that because the material is brittle or you're afraid the tusks will break off of the bio? I know of a possible solution if its the latter.

 

[Philby]

probably why my " you tattoo " post made no sense,...
