Custom Hot Toys Predator 1 with Berserker body

[Lifty]

For his belt, you could make a whole new belt for him.
I seen a member on the sideshow freaks do it....I just cant remember his name.
I will try and find the thread and link it here.

EDIT -

Heres the link -

Thanks for the link- yeah, thats the way it should be done.

Excellent!
Thank you.
I look forward to working on this bad boy!
I cant thank you enough, mate!

No problem, I love to see as many customs as possible out there!

Guys, working on the head lately I realized it might be a little bit to small compared to the head in the movie. Possibly it had shrinked over time due to many molding/casting times. Maybe it was tad to small from the start ? Im not sure -I cant see the problem looking at the pred in person, but I have doubts looking at some pictures I took. I will appreciate your opinion. Pics below, btw thats the final sculpt with test paint.
I will start to sell the head anyway, it looks really nasty (in a good way) in hand. However I am going to enlarge the molds (using this method Smooth On ) and get the bigger head without changing the shape. Maybe some of you would like to hold on little more.

Lifty The 305 has a shrinkage of 0.0065 which is pretty small. Probably unnoticable.
You know i want one when you do get to it.

[Endo Hoarder]

Any updates on when this is going for Sale???

 

[Lifty]

Hi gang
Sorry for my absence, i had some rough time, the pred had to go to the last place on the 'to do' list. Back on track now, please go and check sell section http://www.thehunterslair.com/index.php?showtopic=24709

Any updates, lifty?
I think the head would look better if it was a little bit bigger.
This is a bit off topic, but has anyone dyed their Predator 1 netting black? I dont know why Hot Toys decided to use brown netting on him.

There is an issue with the way I advertised the head in b/s section, (I broke the rules ) thats why the thread was closed. Not getting into the details, there is a chance that the mods will come up with some updates to the rules soon, I will wait before I post again. Anyway, I am preparing the heads for you guys.

I will experiment with enlarging the head (no simple solution to do it quick and easy).

 

[Terminator Fan1]

If you cant enlarge the head, dont worry about it. It looks great as it is to be honest.
Just take your time, my friend.
Are you a member of the 'Sideshow Freaks' forum by any chance?
If so, maybe you could make a "for sale" thread there for the predator head.

Same Lifty ,sideshow freaks { most of them} only care about profit on collectibles , not cool mods and figure fun.There's an art section there that would be your best bet for feedback and questions answered.On the flip great job , bro!!!!!

 

[lc2kep]

I was wondering ifif u had the mold for the first head you made or it is it the same?
