Hunter ShowOff Thread (Boba Fett & Predator)

Re: So I guess I like the hunters...(Showoff thread...pic heavy...)

Wow! I bet you don't have any problems with burglars?! :wacko

Fantastic paintjob on Boba's helmet... love it! :thumbsup

How do you get ypur mannequin's arms in different positions? Is it a poseable mannequin, or a DIY conversion on a rigid mannequin?

Cheers,
John
 
You nailed the Boba Fett. The clothes look right and well lived in. One of the best ones I've ever seen.

Someone else has an Empire one and posted pictures three or four years ago. It's fantastic too. I would like to see pictures of it again.

Predator looks nice too.
 
Absolutely awesome bud!!! I love the Fett pose...holding the rifle is the hardest part of any Fett display....yours looks great!

The Pred. is schweet too :cool
 
Any chance you could share some photos of what you did with the wired hands? I'd like to do the same with a couple of my mannequins.

Yeah, the Fett is something I've been assembling/upgrading for the better part of 10 years now. It's one of those projects that's never really ever finished. There's always one more detail to upgrade. But getting the mannequin to hold that damn rifle was undoubtedly one of the most time-consuming and challenging aspects of the whole display. I'm satisfied with how it finally came out, though.

For now. :lol


Now...if I can just put together a lifesize display of Dog...my hunter collection will be complete...:lol

EXCELLENT. Thanks so much for sharing the tutorial info and pic! Exactly what I was hoping for. I need to do that with a few of my mannequins.
 
Awesome idea with the wire! You've just given me the final inspiration I needed to have my own Fett hold the rifle.....for now it's just resting on the floor next to him. I didn't want to build a new hand and this looks right up my alley with a slight mod.....the copper wire looks like a good 6-8 gauge...no? I'll have mine holding the EE-3 by the weekend hopefully:love

Instead of threading each finger, keeping one single peice of wire, it looks like you could cut each peice to the desired length and epoxy in each finger.....just brainstorming in preparation (thinking out loud). It would have saved your own hand ;)

One of the nicest Boba displays I've ever seen. Awesome!

....and that Pred head rules as well. :cool
