My first resin Predator

Dark Horse Predator 2
Thanks for looking.

[Tiger2]

Well that came out very nicely, they are challenging critters to paint and he looks awesome!
Love the ripped out spinal cord, my only suggestion would be to add a little more blood and gloss varnish it (the skull and cord, not the Predator!)

Cheers,
Paul

Nice! Love the weathering on this ferocious beast.

Gory! Nasty! Love it!

[tay666]

Wow!
That looks really nice.

This sculpt (along with the "companion" Dark Horse Jungle Hunter) will always hold a special place in my heart.

They were the very first 3D representations of my fave character/franchise I ever realised existed . . . I'd seen the movies, bought the VHS tapes, the DVD's, the soundtrack CD's, the comics, the graphic novels, the cuddly toys (OK - not the cuddly toys) . . . but I'd never seen model kits or prepaints . . . NOTHING!

They were found by accident in a display case of a (long since gone) comic shop in New Westminster, BC, about 30mins drive away from ours. My reaction approximated that of all 3 Pointer Sisters (and I just couldn't hide it). The owner only took cash (not credit cards, so I got him to promise to hang on to them for a day until I was able to return with the pennies - $250 CAD for the Jungle Hunter buildup, and $200 CAD for the City Hunter buildup - back on 4th June 2005. this hobby has cost me a small fortune since then

You've done a great job on this Steve - thanks for the trip down memory-lane

I wish more people did predator buildups

How big are these Predator pieces?

How big are these Predator pieces?

I THINK the 2 Dark-Horse pieces are around 1:8 scale - not positive as all of mine are boxed away.

Danny-boy's site shows details (he also lists as 1:8) and a couple of pics here :arrow: http://www.predatorstuff.com/kits_and_m ... k%20Horse/

Thanks for all the kind words, folks! He's 1/8th scale and made of a cold cast material. I'll add a touch more blood and shine on the bones. Spike, glad it took you down memory lane.

Looks amazing - great job. I've always been intimidated to paint one. Love how yours turned out.

I see preciouses (nice work! - love the idea for the diorama).

I really ought to get round to picking up that "Aboriginal"

[Zephyr]

WOW! Amazing detailing! Sensational!

[LOBOREX]

Very cool work, makes me want to get back to my predator build up that's been sitting half finished for ever.

Another thanks goes out to Steve - he's listed this buildup on eBay, and it popped up in 1 of my automated daily searches.

Recognising it, I checked the auction, and (as eBay does) it gave me a ton of "related" auctions based on subject matter - ONE of which was a recast that my searches hadn't picked up :arrow: http://theclubhouse1.net/phpBB3/viewtop ... 0#p1446080

So thanks to Steve - the VeRO is now in to get the wee recasty bugger removed
