Hi predator fans!
Finally, I managed to create reliable molds for all small parts and casting became much easier. I also redesigned the top of the head- it will never be perfect but its closer to the original I think. Funny thing, the more I "study" predator's apparence the more I realize its different than I thougt.. And I was pretty sure I know him very well. I hope one day someone will share with detailed pics of behind the scene Kevin Peter Hall in the mask, in the daylight, would be great. Anyway, thats what I came up with:
This is the final sculpt, casted with Smooth Cast 305 resin. I painted it ( I know, I prefer sculpting to painting ) and put some dreads and quills to see what it looks like. Have a look.
Now I am preparing new casts and soon I'll move to the selling section.
Terminator_Fan_Game- sure!

Hello,
Are you selling these yet? It looks amazing!
I would totally take a painted one =P
Vin
EDIT: I am actually looking into creating a custom 1/6 wolf. I was going to use the falconeer body and wolf hot toy pieces.
Did everything fit from the Hot Toy P1? amor etc? I can see feet being a issue?
So all you did was use everything from a Hot Toys P1.. make a new head(which is amazing and takes time) and bulked up the beserker body?
Any info will help. Thanks!

Georgie: Yeah finally, it took me some time! thanks for your support mate.
Eric: You were right about 305, this is good stuff, thanks for the advice! As for the dreads I am still using the same ones from the original HT P1
XeroWolf: I'll start selling them really soon now I don't know if HT Wolf's armour would fit into Falconer's body, I don't have these figures. Almost all parts ( armour) of HT P1 were to small for the Berserker, I mean, they are about right in scale but simply don't match (too tight for berserker's chest, forearms and legs) Lots of modification needed. As for the feet- Falconer shares the bodyframe with Berserker- he has ball joint glued to the shank instead of removeable peg you'll find in Wolf. You would have to either cut off this ball joint and drill the hole in the leg to make it fit for Wolf's peg or adapt Wolf's feets for Falconer's ball joint. Let me know if you want me to explain it more or to add some pics. Anyway, its lots of work and lots of fun B) I would really like to see Wolf with the new body!

Awesome!
Thank you, my friend.
I have just ordered a berserker body for this head.
It would be great if you could explain how you made the P1 armour fit him properly.

Before I started to match the armour I modified the body. The Berserker is more like bodybuilder in shape and Predator 1 (with Kevin Peter Hall inside) more like a basketball player. He has bigger belly too. In order to fit the forearms and legs armour from HT P1 I had to slim down appropriate parts on the body:
It was not enough for the shin armour, it was still to tight. I didn't sand the legs anymore, instead I've cut the shin armour like this:
The result:
Now the shins are thicker then HT P1 and I like it this way. I am going to fill the gaps with ProCreate sculpting putty later on.
The chest armour is to tight for Berserker and its to small too. When i was happy with the new proportions of the body I modified the armour. I was just cutting off piece after piece until it fitted properly. Then I added putty to increase its size. Red area is sculpted and painted:
Compared to HT P1 the Berserker is far wider in the waist. I slimmed him down here too a little bit but still- thats what I have:
I haven't figured out what to do about it yet
I hope this will help you, I put aside this project because I focused on the head but I am going to come back to it as soon as I can.
Good luck mate.
