Neca Predator 2 City Hunter Repaint

[CYCLONE 06]

Everyone has had a version of this guy... and here is mine. My first one was too orange, but I liked it. The second one, I just did his head and left NECA's body. This one is a total repaint. I think its bad ass, but im partial. I used the NECA prototype picture for my main reference.

Yea, the sculpts are really good, but their paint applications dont show them. But, I worked on this one non stop for about 4 days, so, painting is very time consuming, but I wanted to get this one out there for myself cause I couldnt look at the NECA paint job on the figure vs their prototype photo and be disappointed anymore.

Metalmike is a friend of mine, he said he'll have a tutorial video up of how he paints a Neca Predator (if anyone is interested?)

Sweet that would be cool! I'm pretty good at art and I'm a professional graphic designer by trade, but I've been hesitant to do a custom myself since I don't have a background in figure paints and well customizing figures in general. So I've been soaking up as much info as I can to prepare. I'm actually waiting for my citadel paints to come in so I'm pretty excited.

Bah thats why you buy acrylic paints and more than one figure, so you can start out and see how you do. If worst comes to worst, you put it under warm water and scrub it off with a toothbrush and start over. Ive had to do it a few times myself, and I am also an artist.

Doesn't matter if u make a mistake, just paint over it. Thats one of the wonders of customizing!
