I'm still fairly fresh to the whole Predator prop side of things .. i'm only a member here the last couple of months but there is not a day goes by that i'm not on here. I've looked at literally nearly every photo and image posted on here as well as reading a vast majority of the threads, and have to say i'm well impressed by the skill levels of people here and innovation they show when constucting costumes and sculpts etc...
BUT...
one thing that stands out and ithink its to people detriment is the scale issue...
alot of people are making fantastic pieces of work in particular head sculpts.. but they are making them to big... ok if your 7"6, then your fine as its in proportion.. but lets face it not many of us are anywhere near that height. so for people who sculpt it to the movie accurate size then stick it on they end up looking more like nodding dolls. with great costumes and over sized heads.. don't get me wrong the heads and work are fantastic... just the scale guys....
we all have common interests here and i'm not having a go at anyone or trying to put any particular persons work down.. i think with the time and effort put ino the suits and builds that this one small or rather large area seems to get overlooked....
Just a thought
