AVP Bio - Mysteria Models

[vonroll]

I just met the postman at the door and he had a nice surprise for me.
I ordered a Mysteria Models AVP Bio - (Alien Hunter Bio) about 6 days ago so it shipped way fast. Anyway , I thought people might be interested in seeing the raw Bio as i got it just now.

I'd also heard these were supposed to be smaller but this dude is huge. opcorn:

Very nice. Now let's see that baby painted up.

As far as I know thats the only bio that is full size that Mysteria make, I know the P1 is under sized cos I've got one. Lookin forward to seeing that painted up.

 

[BradLake]

yeah nice


true the P1 is the smallest. the deluxe a lil bit bigger.

the AVP is like full size and fits on my half mask too.

A bit more work last night...
Cutting the eyes...

I found it really useful to do this outside so as not to breathe too much of the fumes in. Also, I had my compressor going using lots of air to blow away the dust periodically to help my old eyes see what I'd cut.

After a hot bath last night. I really liked the look as I pulled it from the bath. The droplets on the mask looked awesome. I may try to paint something like that effect if I can.

It's real nice how much did you get it for?

$137 shipped to the US. I didn't know if that was a great price or not, but I'm very happy with the mask and the quality. I'm also going to get a Hez Bio as well at a later date. Here is a link to Mysteria.. Mysteria Models
I have a feeling that collecting these, and painting them up, will become slightly addictive. opcorn:
I picked up some primer at Wally World at lunch, so more playtime tonight.

Yup - Bio painting is HIGHLY addictive and fun too opcorn: Good luck with the priming/painting process

Yes... so much so that I couldn't wait and primed after lunch (during a work break of course).

Poured some acid on it ... (hey Aliens spit the stuff! It didn't do much by the way.)

Set it on fire...

Which gave me a bit of bubbling...

And then I rattle-canned it with whatever paint I could find in the garage (orange, Aluminum, and black).

I know it needs more work but dammit... I just couldn't stop myself. Hell, I'll probably paint it again tomorrow. opcorn:

Repaint...
It's better because I used a brush and stayed away from orange. But... I've done this repaint but I'm still not happy with the results. How do you guys get such a sheen on your masks?

now with LEDs installed...

 

[vonroll]

I couldn't stand it that this old thread shows my old Bio look. here is how it looks currently... Lasers installed too. Went for a more jungle / woods look.

Badass Alan!! I like the eroded effect that the acid had on the bio!
