Amazing! You're really getting good bro. Just a suggestion stick to the clay for the dreads.

By the way is that air drying clay you've used or the one that needs baking?

thanks bro! for the whole head i used the sculpey (yellow - baked ones) and for the quills its the miliput (green - air drying)
the quills are so small, a little hard to put it.

i'm planning to make it look like a neca also that's why i used rubber dreads so that when i turn the head, the dreads will follow,
that's why it's not hard.
thanks again

thanks man! i'll sculpt the body next time.

let' go back to the first
a little update on the weapons:

a transforming smart disc. made up from tamiya mini 4wd rollers.
the other is when it's on the thigh and the other is in throwing mode. it became bigger. hehe.

here's my tamiya paints.

i already have a flat coat so i'll finish this in a few days. (finally)
thanks

Those are sick looking shurikens bro! Nice!

botman · Aug 2, 2011

thanks bro!

now here is my toy custom finished...

here is without armor:

will wear the armor, holding his backpack:

ready to hunt, long wristblade:

aiming at the target with the "heavy caster". this cannon shots once in every 3mins but a shot is equivalent to 12 shots of plasma caster,
seldom uses this because he more likes close combats:

he got the sword:

ready for close combat, shorter wristblade and his shuriken in throwing mode:

holding a skull:

kills an alien:

heavy caster with light:

a full shot with falconer ( i posted this pic a month ago but in red light) :

thanks for looking. i hope you like it

Yeah thats about the size of it!!!!Very cool paint up , i love the colors you have chosen.What ever you do never stop doing these, i think you have the talent to do some mind blowing customs like this one.Something i have been noticing is the customs that have taken this long have been priceless, i have been working on my project for a year now give or take and it just now starting to show.I know botmon if your anything like me you cant wait to be done with it , but theres a little voice saying "KEEP IT UP"!!!And the voice is right, because all this time you have spent is like going to art school for free.

Anyway priceless and one of a kind

thanks bro, we have something in common. expressing a little handcraft on our toys.
so let's just "KEEP IT UP!" and do more...
your project is very huge it will really eat your time but it is a perfected treasure. only one in the world

thanks again.

Nice Custom. Reminds me of like an updated Lava Planet (from kenner), or maybe the feel of a "Hellboy" Predator ?

some people say it looks like it's kenner inspired. but when i am making this i don't know that there are kenner preds. it's just anything goes
thanks

zuckuss77 · Aug 22, 2011

I love that cloaking predator good job.The kenner stuff doent really have the same look, i dont think.There was so many types of predator's they made which i can see its hard not to have some feature they made but I really think its original.

REYALS1 · Aug 22, 2011

Dig how you put a light in that caster. The paint app is waaay cool too.

hellonearth · Aug 22, 2011

i can't believe i haven't seen this before now man! that's really quite an awesome job you've done re-sculpting his entire set of armor and everything. the skin pattern is really cool too, i like the big spots, very nice
