Thanks Jason! Once I get it sealed the copper and weathering will really start to pop. I'm pretty stoked with how the paint is coming along.

I started some work on the polar bear variation earlier this week and finally got around to getting a coat of primer on.

light sanding and some primer

I'm going to try and finish these two paint ups and cast a extra bio up this weekend

. Monday I plan on getting started on the second in the series of 3 Totem Bios. Next on the list is The Eagle.

Thanks for for all the wonderful comments and compliments guys and gals! More to come..

PredatorX98 · May 4, 2012

Gonna look beast! Cant wait to see the eagle as well, after seeing this one, i can tell its gonna be one epic bio collection!

SMOKE · May 4, 2012

Thanks bro! I have some basic work done on the eagle already.. nothing really worth showing just yet. I'm still working out some ideas. Hopefully Monday/Tuesday at the latest I'll have something worth showing.

Now back to the shop for me.

Edit:

Not a bad night in the shop.. I still need to clean out the small bubbles in the whisker holes of the new casts. It only takes a few turns , by hand with a small drill bit. I took the balls out and ordered some Amber/yellow Leds to put in the divots. For the time being, I'm leaving the balls in the polar bear version.

Below the Kodiak is the Polar Bear's, Bear(ha ha ha) with me on the paint up. Should come out pretty coolin the end.

Here's some progress on the polar bear..

Chrome base with a heavy coat of Flat white acrylic. Then I started taking off the white where i wanted, leaving the chrome to show through. still need to weather the white some more. then wash it all in some black. That's the plan so far.

REYALS1 · May 5, 2012

These are some wicked bio's yo's.

You are keeping with an animal theme for each then? I want to see a platypus sculpted up man... lol, I keed, I keed.

Keep up the work bro. Looks KILLER!!!

SMOKE · May 5, 2012

Thanks bro! Your designs are pretty badass man!! I'd like to see a platypus bios sketch first

lol

Thanks bro!

Got some magnets installed today.

PredatorX98 · May 6, 2012

Damn man! Looking badass on your Pred there

The polar bear's coming along VERY nicely as well! Cant wait for more updates!!

made007 · May 6, 2012

Now were talking, badass bio bro

REYALS1 · May 7, 2012

That looks frikkin' wicked when placed on a Pred.

Wow! Simply awesome...way cool. I give much praise.

carss66 · May 7, 2012

Thats one bad ass hunter.Great paint up mate,and the poler bear bio looks awesome.

SMOKE · May 7, 2012

Thanks guys! It was time to upgrade my first custom pred's bio. When i put it on the mask, i quietly whispered "that's so ******* cool" lol

I got the amber leds today in the mail and installed on the Kodiak

i still need to track down some yellow chrome lens(life has been busy lately) I also installed the blue chrome lenses in the sealed/done Polar Bear. Good new is I took pic. Bad news is high winds, rain and lightning has knocked out the power and I can't upload the pics. Or use the computer.

PredatorX98 · May 7, 2012

Thats a shame about your power being knocked out, but these are gonna look so good! The colours that you chose sound like they're going to go really well with the colour of your bio's. Cant wait!!!

SMOKE · May 8, 2012

It's all good now buddy! Here are the pics!!

my main goal was to weather the white paint down enough that it looked really really worn but still preserving an over all white color.
