Hey guys and gals, here's a couple updates for you. First up, a non Predator repaint, it's the Engineer from Prometheus, in all his Pressure Suit Glory. NECA's version is very plain and white, I wanted it to be a little closer to the real suit, so here he is :

And here is my newest Predator, CYCLONUS, named to represent my 'avatar' within a group of customizers of which I am happy to be a part of that includes some other great painters and customizers. He features a removeable gun backpack, shield and tunic. Anyways, here he is...

That Bad Blood and the Mandarin look awesome! Can you take a macro shot of the Bad Bloods head so we can see more detail?

 

[CYCLONE 06]

Unfortunately, the old camera I have doesn't have a great macro setting. I'm hoping to get a new camera for the holidays. Even if I have to get it myself LOL

I am also planning on a version 2.0 of the bad blood thats a little more realistic. Thank you guys for all of your compliments. I am very grateful.

Here's an update for you guys.  Two of the older McFarlane Predators.  Good ole Celtic and Scar.  I updated mine by removing the chopper blades, repainting their armor, actually etching the T symbol on Scar's helmet and the claw marks on Celtic's helmet using a linoleum cutting tool.  I also added a NECA left hand to Celtic.  I'm not sure what they did with his original left hand but it was kinda out of place.  Shortened his wrist blades to match the ones in the movie, since his blades where nowhere near the size of Scar's.  On Scar's cannon I shortened the arm it sits on to be more movie accurate.  The skin and mesh netting paintwork is pretty good, so I didn't touch those.  They look a lot better IMO.

good news for you - you can't possibly ruin them more than they already are from the packaging

 

[ReChargable]

What paint would you guys use for predators?

 

[uruk]

model acrylics, get them in a hobby store. you'll probably want Vallejo or Citadel for best effects.

Not true, I'm a customizer and I made my Elder look worse. Predators kick my ass. Not saying don't go for it. I'm just saying that I suck at it.

I was looking to use games workshop citadel paints buy they are expensive , will this work well do you think?

 

[Lowdmekon]

Vallejo on ebay are the cheapest and you get loads of paint.

citadels are best quality, but are expensive. vallejo is cheaper and not much worse, also the pots are bigger.

 

[ReChargable]

Ok thanks for your help guys
I hope to have started my custom pred soon

 

[Folsomaticustom]

Yeah, Citadels are great, never used the other brand listed though. Also Testors Model Masters Acrylics are good and you can pick those up at Hobby Lobby.
