Nice,

Those McFarlane toys really are useful for customs.

They have a fair enough price, are relatively posable, stand on their own, etc...

I would like to see the Bigger McFarlane Queen have serrations added to hear head, and make her back spikes look moe sharp etc... To match the look of the AVP Queen. I have an extra one, now I just need to do some more research on HOW to do this without ruining her.

Started work on a cryo-chamber, it's still a work in progress, but you get the idea.
I still need a cool "facehugged victim" to place inside. Might have to make one myself.

The base figure is the Konami Facehugger.
All the rest is apoxi sculpt.  ;)
Then paint.

What kind of paints?

Does the parts not covered in Apoxi sculpt have to be sanded?

Do you apply a wash coat before painting?

Post by: FACEBOX on May 18, 2007, 12:00:44 AM
As I said before in my previous posts... I didn't make it myself, I had it commissioned.
I can't sculpt for shi  !   :-\

The Apoxi isn't flexible at all. It'd crack if I tried to move it.
I'd advise casting it in silicone if you're looking for flexibility.

As for the paint. Use Acrylic paints. Enamel paint can "eat" the figure.

No sanding or wash coat was used, however, I do recommend washing it with soap water before you start.

Title: 2 Alien kits painted...FINALLY!
Post by: Sabres21768 on Sep 20, 2007, 11:35:20 AM
I've just (finally) finished up my last 2 personal projects.  These are oldies but goodies.

First is the Halcyon Alien and Egg.

Next is the AMT Alien.  I went with more movie suit accurate colors (I think) and no gloss for this one.

wow, these customs are great!

keep hem coming!

i have made 3 lab sets myself, but they arent even near that!

i also have customized 2 toys (from national geographic) into marines, i can post later, but tehry arent half good then these are......

i use a harry potter toy (i think it was a teacher, its a dwarf guy) as a scientist, i think it kinda fits the set but its more for comedy than actually realistic...

i also have the alien in a sort of stais tube in the lab set, together with lots of big bugs in other places and stuff, maybe one of these days i trie to sculpt some facehuggers and have them in stasis in one of the sets to.

the soldiers are kinda big to the sets (cause sets were made for the dwarf scientist) but tehy look nice near the alien (which has a broken arm by the way)


ill take pics one of these days

EDIT:

i took some pics, im uploadin right now, theyr 35 pics so will take a while  :P

Post by: Sabres21768 on Oct 07, 2007, 11:31:26 PM
Here's a small "update"...

I received my "Bug Hunt" kit in the mail a couple of days ago and I've gotten around to taking some good pics.  I know I posted this one earlier, but I thought you guys might enjoy some better shots of this beauty.  I know I do.   ;D

Can't thank Vindicator enough for this one.  Even my fiance' commented on how cool it looked.  8)

Check out that Pred face shot and how cool Vin's "eye" work is and that scar he added running through the "blinded" eye.  He also added the tusks under the Pred's lower jaw to give it a better "Elder" look.  He sculpt the mandible tusks himself as the one's it came with were pretty bad.  He added the wiring coming out of the wrist gaunlet.  He melted the Pred mask to give it a great "acid burned" look.  All the rings on the dread beads are his idea as well as the extra bead braid.  He had planned on making the red sash a much darker color.  But when I saw it in a progress shot he sent me, I LOVED the color he had on it already.  I think it gives the Pred a really great regal kind of "Elder" look.

Outstanding customs & paint jobs here.

Mine is from the smaller 1/18th scale of Aliens & Predators figures I have & I`ve just finished my first Predator custom.
I have done the ALIENS USCM squad at 1/18th (using the Hot Toys Snap kit Marines) that can be seen last thread here http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=5155.msg110050#msg110050


Well for those who collect 1/6th Hot Toys,you know they made the Champion Predator with Alien head on his spear.

Here is Hot Toys 1/6th Champion Predator with Alien head on spear....
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi77.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj76%2Fsteelbo%2FhotToysPredatorSpecial.jpg&hash=1066d4d5ae081ea2d40953d93609c6fe479871ca)

The figure is actually a Takara Microman AVP Predator Elder (spare), that I have customized to look more akin to the Champion Predator (from the flashback scenes).

I have also added height to the figure as the Microman Predators & Aliens are somewhat on the small scale at 1/18th.

I found the torso armour actually comes off,so cut the armour to fit only half his torso,then added a leather strap across his chest.
The helmet is a Microman one enlarged & is sculpted to look like the 1/6th version.

The Alien head is from the Hot Toys 1/18th snap Kit line.

My Custom with a none altered Microman Predator,to show height difference.

Actually, it seems a little small compared to the Aoshima Alien.

I also have the Ripley from the Aoshima Powerloader and she's pretty small compared to the Alien and Alien Warrior.  She is in scale with the Crew of the Nostromo figs.

Nice looking customs  :)

Do any of you know if there is other sites on the net where people are showing their customs,
I'm In to customs my self but can't find any good sites for inspiration and feedback.

Right now I'm making my own clan of predator figures,
They are 3 so far but are growing...
the scale is 1:18 and they tower over most Gi Joe and Starwars figures,
i'll post pic's off them soon...

Hey, Facebox. Those stasis tubes look very cool and simple. What were they originally? They look like urine sample containers to me. :P

Oh right. Well the next time I go to the doctor I'll ask for a couple of urine sample containers anyway. Seriously, they could do a good job. :D Might get an odd look from the doc though.

thank ya  ;),and yeah I removed the dreads because they kinda seemed like overkill (well at least on the neca figure) and to me they didn't seem necessary,I originally just bent the knees and left the dreads alone,but I changed my mind because I wanted to be able to see the crest more,with the dreads it's kinda hard to notice the crest.

Take a sharp knife (something small like a pocket knife) and then take a lighter to the blade and heat the edge,then all you have to do is apply minimal force and you'll see that the blade runs through the soft rubber like butter!  ;D

As soon as I get a digital camera, I want to put my custom up, its not much, its the original Hasbro battle damaged alien Res warrior, painted black instead of the horrendus red/brown/green colour, and the acid is now a bright yellow instead of a puke green, I added some blood markings around its mouth and body. It is nothing compared to peoples customs on here, but it looks better than the original.

Personely I would use Testor's Model master Acryl or Tamiya Acrylic paint. they can be bought in any Model store. they work fine on Transformer toys, predators, Aliens star Wars and so on. They are also water soluble and don't require nasty thinners. Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

I don't know if you have seen my ALIENS dioramas before, but I have started another diorama using the same concepts I've learnt building that one.

I thought it would be cool to make a PREDATOR diorama this time.
I went a step further and made it in 12" SCALE. It's still a WIP (started yesterday), but I thought I could share some pix before I finish.
Please be gentle.  :-[

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the following teaser pictures:

Movie:

very awsome red pred ;)  i see its from the eldar how did you bent the tooth back? mine eldars lower tooth is looking wird its bending to the other lower tooth.

i dipped the head in some boiling hot water. waited till it cooled down a bit. then i positioned the mandibles the way i wanted. while holding it in the desired position immediately dipped it in some cold water. works every time. be sure not to repeat to many times because the mandibles could break.

This is my new Special Edition Les Exclusive Deluxe Hot Toys Alien Resurrection Alien Warrior.
Figuremaster Les made it for me.

Pictures are taken next to McFarlene's 6" figure.

That actually looks like a pretty good modification. I'm wasn't real upset with the dread placement but your cutom fig looks more true to traditional designs and I really like that.

DONE!!

That was alot of fun to paint.
This is the "Egg Morphing Brett" accessory that came with the Aoshima Alien figure.

The sculpt is based on a concept sculpt Giger did for the egg morphing scene in "Alien".
It was later changed to look more like Alien egg, which we now see on the Director's cut of the movie.

I decided to leave the tendrils off as I thought it would be too busy.
For the base I just used the original base it came with.  It had a "melted burn hole" on it.  So, I kinda jazzed that hole up with some Alien "stuff".

I've included some pics to show what it looked like before I sculpted the back half and a pic with a quarter for size reference.
The last one is a pic of Giger's original sculpt.

Looks good!
Are those Malebolgia's legs I see?

Anyways, I think you should move the "shins" a little more inwards because the look a little too spread out(see 1st pic), and I think you should try to straighten them out as well near the ankles to make them more in line with the rest of the leg(see 2nd pic)

Nice job so far... please post more pix as you progress.

Great customs guys! I only have 3 12" figures  :'( I have 2 Alien figures from ALIEN, one has the dome removed. That could be custom... I also have a Predator frigure from PREDATOR. It's wristblades and the top of it's wrist computer has snapped off  :'( I might remake them out of something. I might post up some domeless Giger Alien pics sometime if anyone wants to see them.

My first attempt ended badly, the clay dried up and became way too heavy. :'( I did manage to take a few photos of it, it was huge probably 90 cm.

I have started a new one with very light premier clay, it's great to work with, the head is almost finished. :)

I like this.  It puts less emphasis on the dreads.  ...And I'm sure makes them look less like pigtails from the front.
i got a new camera, so ill put up more pics for you. yeah it looks alot better looking at it from the front. but the only problem i have with the figure is that its a shelf diver. i cant get it to stand for more than a couple of hours.

I used Gloss Varnish and a little white to create that frozen KY Jelly Effekt on my NECA Alien's dome. I think it recreates the effect from the movie pretty well:

There are many things I didn't like about McFarlane's Dog Alien. It isn't movie accurate at all. Neither the sculpt, the proportions nor the colours. I really missed the metalic colours and the tansparent dome.
So I decided to adjust at least one of these matters: The colours.
I comletely repainted the Dog. I used various brown tones, yellow, gold, bronze and black. In the end I sealed the deal with a wet looking coat of gloss varnish. 
Enjoy:

Fantastic DB.

This is nothing A/P related but what they hay. I used to collect LOTR stuff from Games Workshop a few years ago and made this:

I'm kinda proud of it, looks quite good. It must have cost over £200 in total, ridiculous amount just for a bunch of figures.

I have that too WW. Just ordered a few more: the Fell beast in Osgilitath and Shelobs lair plus a few of the 3 packs.

PS: What did you do to make the Helms deep like that? Just add the right wall to the left? Looks good.
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: War Wager on Aug 19, 2008, 09:03:38 PM
Pretty much yeah. ^ You can't see it but I painted moss and stuff to the walls and opended up the compartments above the gate with super glue.

Post by: Private Hudson on Aug 19, 2008, 09:07:05 PM
Cool. I've actually been thinking of repainting the Helms Deep, it looks kind of cheap even though it costs damn near $200.

What kind of paint did you use?
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: War Wager on Aug 20, 2008, 11:20:12 AM
Just the paint that you paint the figures with. Once it drys in it fades into the wall making it look kinda real.

"See you in November" I met her in May 2004 and then a 2nd time in November. I asked her to write that cos I wasnt satisfied with just her name on there. When she met me again she recognised me immediatly though which was nice. She and Rico Ross are doing another signing next month in Milton Keynes, England. Rico is great.

It was an accessory of the "Land of the Dead" Big Daddy from Sota.
He also comes with a severed arm, an alternate hand, a machine gun and a jackhammer.

I photoshopped a concept for my Preatorian custom:

OMG!!!! :o
Now I know why you wanted to use the alien resurrection warrior. ;) Those leg joints are awesome. :)

What head is that though? ???

It's from the Alien Queen of the second AVP series by McFarlane ;)
The concept doesn't show yet, but I'll bulk this Alien up a bit more. Especially the area around it's shoulders.

I like the idea alot, the two figures should gel together quite well. As you've mentioned to others already, the chest and shoulders are going to need some bulking/resculpting work on them.

Perhaps lose the webbing effect on the lower-arms, as I dont think Preatorians would be exactly built for agile swimming (what with the huge head n all). Perhaps replace them with some small spikey protrusions, and maybe add them on the legs as well?

Should turn out quite nicely though. Look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Thanks for the advice :) I'm also thinking about putting the little Queens chest area on the Aliens lower body. I wouldn't need to make it much that much bulkier then. There'll definately a lot of changes. The Praetorian should blend in well, but be really special at the same time. :)

I'm working on new wall structures for my Alien hive (I'm planning to make a MUCH bigger hive soon). I use Apoxy sculpt, a plastic plate and Games Workshop colors (chaos black, metallic medium, Gloss varnish). I'll definately add some parts of broken Alien figures I own.

Here's a wall I'm working on right now:

Size comparison and how it's gonna work together with Aliens:

In the end there will be a lot structures where Aliens can camouflage themselves in - pretty much as seen in Aliens. Poor Dietrich :D

How? ??? Easy....  ;)


take a piece of cardboard, pour glue all over it, make sure its bumpy and uneven so that when it dries it looks rough and bumpy.(like hive resin) Then when its dry just paint it black. ;D

I modified Celtic so he fitted in more with the movie Celtic, as well as the Neca wolf. I made his body a light shade of yellow, painted the lenses of the helmet, highlighted the edges of the helmet, (look at the ridges) and armor and finally, painted red dots for the tracker for the plasma caster.

I also have a customised alien with PVA glue layered on the mouth to simulate salivia, but the customisation seemed too minor to merit a picture.

Because someone thought it'd be smart to name aliens from Aliens Warriors, and aliens like from Alien Drones. They are all the same, the only reason they chose a different head for Aliens was because the domes kept breaking or something.

i love this mandarin pred here, but i think that the colors are way too bright to be on a predator you should try some weathering on the armor or something to mute the colors just slightly.

I used Gloss Varnish and a little white to create that frozen KY Jelly Effekt on my NECA Alien's dome. I think it recreates the effect from the movie pretty well:

how did you get the dome off, and would semi gloss do the trick? that looks really cool.

Not ALIEN or Predator, but I thought you might enjoy the WIP-pic.

I'm far from finished. Still got some sculpting, sanding, and prepping to do before it hits paint.

I didn't pull the dome off here. The white/ gloss mixture is painted onto the dome.
It's possile to remove it using hot water though.

Actually I like them equally. Can't decide.
But since you're getting two of them I'd recommend getting both versions. They go great with each other.

Yeah, I had to make them a little thicker so that they don't break that easy, the figure is done in 1:18 scale, so it fits in the same universe as the starwars/Indiana Jones/Gi Joe action figures.

Haven't been in here for a while, so I'll try to catch up where I can.

1st, the Jehuty is a kit I bought online.
I was lucky enough to find one of the last ones they had in stock.

2nd, the dioramas I post are custom made out of "junk" parts I have laying around the house.
Others are of some of my friends....but it's the same idea.
I just look around for things that might help me, modify them a bit so that they are indistinguishable, and paint. Just take a trip to your local hardware store, and keep an eye out for things that look like they can be used in a diorama. ;)

Same thing used for Pred dioramas:

A friend of mine who built models from scratch had me save him the plastic spools from adding maching rolls. They look very industrial from the side view.

This one shows my mini Predator fig, and also added a marine with mation tracker, behind the marine in gray with flamethrower.

everything all together, this also shows a powerloader from a Lego person, an Alien made from an old Micro machines alien play set, and a queen(wip) made from the baby queen from the Alien Resurrection toys. Also in the lower right corner, is the police enforcer from Predator concrete jungle, with half of a figure inside for the android pilot XD

It took awhile to build and went through severale versions. Three I think. Took longer to figure a way to get the weapon pods on the long wings to line up yet still pass over eachother.

sorry for the blury pics, camera can't get any closer.
I'm painting it all flat black, with a glossy black around the mouth, and "eye" and in some of the bumpy areas. and dark gray for the tubes along it's head, and the bony plates along the top of it's head. and a dark tan for the lips, like the aliens in "Aliens" had. and gave it the tail from the broken Kenner Queen alien I had. Gives in a more Alien look.

Anyone have any pointers or advise to improve it?
Wish I knew how to sculpt, I'd make a 100% custom Bull Alien.

Some of my old Hot Toys customs.....

All sold now apart from the Predator 1 which I'll NEVER sell.

Just want to note too that these were made LONG before the Hot Toys P1's or P2's. Litterally the only ones out were Scar, Celtic, Chopper and Elder.

They were made with super sculpey modeling clay and various other parts....

Hey guys, I think we all know I managed to fix my AvP-R warrior, and, its not much of a custom as much as its a repaint, but. anywho,

I made a topic about it, but it pretty much died, and well, I don't want to spam the whole forum with my shoddy repaints and fixes.

anyways, heres a couple of pics...

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi124.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fp32%2FMegatoph%2FWarrior4.jpg&hash=5ebe056b6c42085afd40f08d26915db3ea37db5b)

the Warrior got repaired by supergluing the legs in place, (they where broken off at the hips, and the knees where too week to hold the figure's weight) wich is ok by me, I got the legs fixated in a standing Knee-bent pose with the right foot being slightly further out then the left. the ankles still have their articulation as I am making a base that would require them to be posable, (the base includes a skeleton of a beast that the Warrior came out of but the base has yet to be painted)

the most prominant feature, is that I used a paper towel to add silver paint to color him, this gives the warrior a metalic look, wich was lacking in the original paint scheme, some of the brown and maroon still exists mostly on the neck and tubbing of the ankles (not visible in photos) I do plan to keep working with the figure untill I fell it is better then before. this may take a while sence I'm working with ADI's POS design. I hope to add some red, brown and possibly some green. but Idk as of yet. I also plan to add some silver to my Giger Alien as well, but thats just me.

I also hit the tail with silver as wll, and it almost looks completely natural. almost no blotchs that I can see, the tail blade/stinger looks great, and the paddle at the end of the tail looks much better then before. the warrior now looks like it has an exoskeleton, but there is still some things I can't fix. I plan to get some transluciant Plastersean or something, and make an irrichangable dome for it. but Idk, its up to me.

now, I have to appologize for the photos blurieness, but my camera is also a POS, but its the only one I have.

now, I like to know, what you all think?

hey everybody I know you guys don't care for my costomization of my Alien figures and certainly don't care for my attempts of repainting my alien figures, HOWEVER! I have managed to gain great success with my NECA 18" scale Alien figure. I have taken parts from two of the same Alien figures, both of wich are from two diffrent series.

you all remember I had the series one 18" scale Alien, but it got seriously damaged by my mom's ex, I then got the series two of the same figure (the white domed version) at hastings, it was ok, but the torso suffered from bad melting at the factory, it had spots around the collar and neck where the plastic looked like it was smudged when it was removed from the cast. not only that the figure had the piece that connected the head to the neck broken on a 3' tumble off my display stand. I tried to fix it, and I couldn't.

anyways, I watched the movie Frankenstein, and thought, "I Could use the parts from the two figures, to create a completely new Alien figure!". I begun disassembling the two figures, discarded what I didn't need and kept the parts I wanted and needed.

I have also found out the head can be disassembled into four compnants...

Primary (The part that the Jaw, and Cranium attachs to)

Cranium (The Part that sports the ever famous human skull, and has the upper teeth)

Jaw (the lower Jaw, connects to the Primary componant)

and the Innerjaw.

the first Alien figure the one that was given to me by my girlfriend(Wich I designated 'AF-01'), mainly comprised of the fallowing...

Primary Head Componant, head and neck connecter/ball joint, inner jaw, torso, and shoulders.

and the second figure (Designated 'AF-02') pervided me with...

Waist, Legs, Tail, Arms, and Cranium.

after some Huffin, Puffin, Popping Blood Vessels, and nearly breaking my wrist and thumbs, I got the thing reassembled! a completely new ALIEN figure. I called it AF-C03. the figure unfortunantly wasn't fully completed. it still required a new paint job.

through the entire month of june, I began repainting the figure, I realized AF-C03 needs a color scheme to make it its own figure. something to give it an identity, I added a black base coat, after wich I began using a paper cloth to add silver highlights. after that, I got some dark brown and added brown to select areas like arms, head, legs, torso, dorsal tubes, and waist. even a bit on the hands.

I added a new design for the cranium. gave it a new look.

all this hard work has payed off! the images that you are about to see are of the figure as it is now...

I am ofcourse only 95% finished, the tail still needs some work done to it.

PLEASE! comment and tell me what you think. do you like it? Hate It? or do you want to steal it from me (HA! YEAH Right!)? I'd appreciate some critism too.

thanks, I got some work to do with it still. the tail didn't want to stay on, so I had to work on it. and the jaw tubes looked crooked so I am currently reworking them.

other then that I still keeping the 95% completion tag on it.

I haven't desided on what to do for the base. I had a base made for it before but the thing was made of poor quality wood, so now I am thinking of something of a clay and plastic veriety. I'm still unsure though. I may need to ask a friend of mine if she can help me make one.

you know what I don't like about Acrylique paint? it comes off too easily.

Use that paint that is usually applied to warhammer miniatures then. Very resistant.

For the base you can get some good ideas viewing the big chap base or some parts of the ship.. or maybe something biomechanical... even you can use the parts of the other alien..

Nice mask there Bakurenoh! awsome work! I would suggest mixing some brown or copper color with some silver. it'll give it a darker silver color.

OH! btw, guys. I managed to complete my new classics Alien figure. I completed paint appliance and everything! Still needs a base, but other then that its finaly complete after two in 1/2 months. I may make changes every now and again but all in all I am finished with it. I never realy felt a sence of accomplishment before, so this has got me feeling great.

first off, the paint I used is black, silver, grey, and dark brown. and I used metalic black for the tail, with silver and dark brown highlights. the dark brown when it drys has a rust like look to it.

if anybody wants to get a better look at somethin let me know and I'll take a pic.

bits and bobs i could find in the garage. 3 of which i shouldnt of but as only 10-15% of the head will be visable once the dreads are here i didnt care that much.

Black car primer (stuff to do bumpers with)
White and green spray paint emulsion
Brown.. something i cant remember what it is. You cant see it in the picture but its on the inner of the crown.

I build my props on a budget of what i can find and the rest i try to ebat for as cheap as possible

well, it'll be a bit delayed. the tail just came off. the superglue I am using just isn't strong enough. I would have to use some other means.

the arms will be worked on either way though. it'll look even better then before. and it looks good now. even without the tail.

This is nearly as far as ive got in making the head. I took the picture and thought ummm i may aswell finish the part i was doing so i added a few more dreads since this picture. Nothing drastic enough to warrant a new picture though. But i might take one tonight. Wearing the bio helmet. Infact he will probably be well enough to leave the hospital tonight if all goes well. He will only need the dreadlock rings and he doesnt need to stay in my garage for thoes.

I am.. was.. maybe might.. be tempted to paint the dreads red berserker style. But id only do that if i got his bio. Or id maybe make a new mask completely if i wanted a super pread head display.

Bought a unpainted uncut cast from ebay. Sanded it (to an extent i didnt want it to look flawless) cut the eyes out myself ect and painted it with spray paint. Added plastic visor. Bought a latex head from ebay and filled it with foam filler to keep its shape. Also bought the latex dreads from ebay. Once you buy the bio, head and dreads you have to use your own initiative to do the rest. Once you have the idea in your mind of what you want to do youl find a way to do it

I also thought for cosplay purpose it would be funny if i added a half red visor and half blu visor kind of like 3D glasses so when you look through it its like Pred vision.

I still have the exo-armor in the basement in a chest. I lost the actual alien inside long ago. Not sure if I still have the 3 1/2 floppy, but I remember it was just an alien in a cockpit and you can make its tentacle "wag" while making a weird sound.

XD yeah, I still have a few of those disks, none of them we're all that interesting. I'm thinking of taking the heads of the little one and the exo, and painting them to look like skulls for a predator trophy room.

I'm interested in making a trophy room, probably for a McFarlane/NECA sized figure. I don't buy stuff online though. Do you guys have any suggestions?

You could make some from modelling clay and then paint them, but you'd need to be real careful with them afterwards, clay breaks easily. >.<

Try greenstuff it works, its something that people use for making figures for warhammer figures, it can be bought in every shop that have with warhamme to do, its soft and easy to handle and when it dryes its almost hard as stone.

hey guys, I am reworking my NECA 18" Classics Alien, the tail does NOT want to stay on. (its NOT funny) and I am gotta wait till next month till I can get the right glue I need (I am thinking of using hotglue sence Superglue obviously ain't strong enough) so I can finaly reattach the damn thing properly and perminantly. if all else fails. I will have to call the whole thing a failure.

I am also working on the legs. the pegs that keep the knee parts connected broke and I have to fix them. I may need to replace them with bolds and screws. (what in gods name where NECA thinking when they desided to use plastic rods to connect the knees and ankles together?)

Well im sure it would just simply fall off if you glue it, try maybe adding something to it so it can swivel. I would try but I dont have an extra figure or the right tools, although I have an extra wolf or two, might try to do something with those parts.

Yep, it's just on a ball joint. I always use a hair dryer to remove parts from figures. Just heat the part of the figure up with the hair dyer until the plastic is nice and soft (usually 30 sec to a minute) and that puppy will pop right off.  And the same process to pop it back on. It's much easier on your hands and much less likely to damage the figure. I've figured that out the hard way! ;)

If you choose to you can even dissassemble glued parts this way too, you still need to use some force, but you can take apart alot of things just by heating it up enough with a hair dryer, just be careful not to melt it or set it down the wrong way while it hardens back up!

Aww, that sucks. Yeah depending on where it ripped a tiny dab of superglue applied with a tootpick should work.

Generally when i pop of the the heads, just put your thumb under the "chin" of the figure and just lean the head all the way back and it should pop righ off after you push it back far enough. Twisting won't really do much unless you are pulling it upwards at the same time. But that kind of grip on it, like you now know, can cause your fingers to hit parts you don't want them to.

Don't feel bad though, I've ruined alot bigger stuff than necklace parts trying to take apart figures. If only i knew then what I know now.....

Yeah I see what u mean. I kinda wanna take pics of my figures, But I dont have a camera =\ I put my alien and predators in some really good poses and would love to take some good shots, I have seen some really cool ones on the hunterslair but I have no idea how they get them to be soo good.

I think it's the lighting. From what I have seen some people make little 3-sided "studios" with a backdrop on it and use directional lighting (like from an overhead light) to get such good shots.

Kinda like when you see them making movies and they always have that guy with the shiny chrome ball checking how the light is reflecting off of everything in the set. Try checking out some photography websites on the 'net, i'm sure you can find some good tips and tricks for action figure/model kit photography. Some figure customization websites even have info like that.

I ask a question DIRECTLY to a certain person, not the whole world. And you assume things before you even understand them from what I can see. They can explain it alot better than someone who would know half as much. Im no kid, so dont treat me like one, Im not one of your little teenager friends. No attitude here, People just take me the wrong way or misunderstand. Like honestly...stop trying to fight with me, Im not here for this..I have better things to do.

I used a razor or box cutter what ever you want to call it but yea i cut just a little under it and the flip action did not get damage in this process too, i just molded it on the arm and added paint then bam!  ;D but yea the hardest part was cutting it with the razor.

I personally see no way you can emphasize the word "MY" on the phrase "my bad" without the attitude.  However, I have no saying on this argument, so I'll get back on topic.

Man ScarPredator14, those are some badass customs.   :) You should get a better camera though, it's a shame we can't get these awesome figures in they're full glory.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted anything. I am still having problems with the classics alien figure. So I desided to give it a break. dispite not having a tail or legs, the figure still looks quite nice.

I am preparing to work on my NECA ALIENS Warrior. I repainted him before, but it didn't look so good. right now I am planning to put some black acrylique paint over the whole figure, THEN I am going to begine the process of putting some Metalic black paint on him. THEN I'll begin painting some other colors on him. silver, bone white, and maybe a bit of dark red. I also have four of thoughs jaw tubes. (two from the ALIENS warrior, and two from the now useless small scale Classics Alien) I am thinking of putting two of them in the original areas (connecting from the jaw to the back) and a set of tubes connecting to the arms. (connecting from above the elbow joint, to the lower arm). whatcha guys think?

Kind of cheesy. Yet it was easy to do and cost nothing.

I dub him the Classic Berserker.

that's pretty cool, how big is it? hard to scale it mentally, even by assuming the lasers are LEDs
they are 1:1! and they are LED's

For the silver i just used a hammered acrylic spray paint ontop of a black base.

But for this i just used black Spray paint. To make it the blackest black

Awesom! My Falconer finally got posted this morning cant wait to get him.

Meanwhile, iv been working on some cannons

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fa.imageshack.us%2Fimg405%2F6982%2Fspa3514.jpg&hash=a30723c12daffbaa29df79eb8c3e7f669e97ce79)

I'll have a good ratch tomorrow in the garage tomorrow find loose bits of pipe and wire and stuff like that to thicken them out and neaten them up a bit. Making 2 cannon holders might be a bit awkward though as i want them free standing but also at an angle (like wolfs \ / ) so i dont want the top weight to pull them over. I could easily make a heavy base for the cannon holders but i really want to keep the weight down so if i wished i could wall mount them or work them into a costume.

Right -

few customs to report

Painted Falconers falcon (still not finished)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg826.imageshack.us%2Fimg826%2F8232%2F18082010248.jpg&hash=daecd7d2ab91ce292e8c2c359b82bc0723e0a2cf)

also lightly black washed his body - to show his stomach lines (looks better in person ;))

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg541.imageshack.us%2Fimg541%2F5756%2F18082010249.jpg&hash=21e99a193d35a3228987c8f8cef39fb1ee435a5c)

Next I started repainting 'Blacks' chest (not finsihed)

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg805.imageshack.us%2Fimg805%2F8458%2F18082010252.jpg&hash=60c22d0328dd96c353c511d0f92b97f1d6df093d)

And finally I added some detail to Classic -

Darkened the surrounds of his eyes (makes this figure look 100 times better) and top of his head

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg192.imageshack.us%2Fimg192%2F6154%2F18082010251.jpg&hash=468e2774f55172c16cbe46c8d16939e2faeb606a)

and added some battle damaged marks to his armour.

So I need some help from you master painters and custom mongers. I'm thinking of using the Classic Predator's plasma caster on all the BSPs, my problem is, I'm not sure what color to paint it, so it fits in with the BSPs.

People have told me bronze and I had guessed metallic brown. But I wanna know for sure. Any tips?

I have only done touch ups so far and have been reluctant to do a complete repaint. Im waiting for my Berserker to arrive to fix the paint on that too. Any material/tool advice anyone would have would be appreciated. Also any vids or online tutorials would be great too!  ;D

if the money is not an obstacle the best thing you can do is buy an airbrush.. then some enamel umbrol paint or tamiya..
but you can always try with some very small and thin brushes... you still need to buy some  exellent quality paint(enamel umbrol or tamiya) try the techniques like drybrush.. painting with the brush almost dry..  and practice with other thing before you are going to repaint the actual figure! for the berserker repaint,  a small brush and some tamiya paint will work

this guy repainted his berserker ith some tamiya paint.. if you see the video you will know wich colour he used...

Thanks a lot!!! It just so happens that I have an airbrush. And a lot of brushes and paints. I am a graphic designer, my mum is an artist, and my dad is an architect so between us we have everything we need. Ive done a fair amount of painting, just not model painting. Thanks heaps for the tips!!

Im thinking of repainting my Macfarlane Anytime (unmasked) and Battle Damaged Pussyface to make them more movie like. Any tips when it comes to a complete overhaul? I have only done touch ups so far and have been reluctant to do a complete repaint. Im waiting for my Berserker to arrive to fix the paint on that too. Any material/tool advice anyone would have would be appreciated. Also any vids or online tutorials would be great too!  ;D

if the money is not an obstacle the best thing you can do is buy an airbrush.. then some enamel umbrol paint or tamiya..
but you can always try with some very small and thin brushes... you still need to buy some  exellent quality paint(enamel umbrol or tamiya) try the techniques like drybrush.. painting with the brush almost dry..  and practice with other thing before you are going to repaint the actual figure! for the berserker repaint,  a small brush and some tamiya paint will work

this guy repainted his berserker ith some tamiya paint.. if you see the video you will know wich colour he used...

i like how the p2 mask fit in the elder head.. it gives to him a more classic look and not that avp one.

It is a very ugly figure. At the time it was fantastic because I could only compare to my kenner figures. It kind of got lost on my shelf amongst newer and better figures but after NECA released classic, it made me realise how terrible it is. Battle damaged Pussyface is horrible too but I read that NECA will be releasing their own figure next year. Can anyone confirm this?

I think the only thing confirmed is that NECA has the P2 Elder coming out next year, but they are looking at the possibility of making the clan from P2.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. :P

Thanks guys! I didnt use anything fancy. I used acrylic paints, small model brushes and a sponge. I basically mixed white with tamiya dark yellow for the base colour. I applied this to the body with a brush, and used a sponge for the arms and legs. I then mixed black with tamiya nato green for the darker spots. I added more green for the lighter areas. I then used terracotta colour for the chest and obliques finished with a simple red for the highlights.

Hardly impressive, I know, but it's something I figured worth showing.

I took the trophies off 2 of my mcfarlane predators (one was pretty much destroyed already.) put all the skulls on a brown thread. (Bottle ship lines) and used a little more thread and made the spinal column trophy belt I noticed almost every single P1 predator figure is missing. I also took the necklace off the destroyed mcfarlane pred to complete his trophie collection. All he'd need now to be Kevin Peter Hall is the appropriate helmet mask.

I know this is supposed to b the Classic from PREDATORS, but y'know, he looks more like KPH. (Body shape, the arm plate on the left arm, his height in comparasson with Berserker and Falconer)

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi4.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fy130%2FTaraka%2Fphotography%2520practice%2F000_0433.jpg&hash=c06506cf65e412d4d26a531b1ba83fefa4fdfff0)

I didn't customize him aside the necklace at that point (didnt have the thread I thought I needed.) But I thought it was a great pic with my Mcfarlane Alien. I wanna do a hybrid diorama with them in that pose. Like ship fragments of the Nostromo in a Jungle.

Cool, this is good job, it would be nice if the falconer predator in the movie was like that.

the falconer from the movie was perfect!

Guys, today I bought at FNAC Forum Almada (Portugal), Predator FALCONER, but someone who liked this, a second opinion about what this figures it worth buying. Neca Predalien, Alien (the original), Wolfe injured unmasked. I wanted to pit opinion, now if it was asking a lot, liked to see images of these these figures, with the predator falconer, and now with some poise, to compare the size of the figures. I would appreciate if someone could.

Ok so some of you might remember me claiming I was going to custom paint my MacFarlane Pussyface. It's been a while but its finally finished (almost). I'm fairly happy with the result, its just a real shame it's such a horrible sculpt. Its actually a worse scuplt than the macfarlane anytime. I really hope NECA release a movie accurate pussyface, but until then, this will have to do. Oh and forgive the elastic band around his waist, its just holding the belt on while the glue dries  :P

great paint-ups! only thing i'd suggest - it looks like you're using some kind of gloss varnish after painting them - you shouldn't use it imo - it covers the figure with a thick layer, partially blending into the sculpt and making him look worse. Or maybe it's just too thick layer of paint? that's what i'd work on if i were you. As said earlier, it's a very good looking repaint anyway  ;D

As per usual my shitty 5megapixel camera loses most of the subtle details, especially around the chest/stomach but you get the idea. Hopefully I can borrow an SLR so I can take some decent shots of my customs soon.

From what i can see you repainted the hands too.. they looks great, you have to tell me which paints are you using, dont worry no the colours just the brand.. :D

Post by: Ghostface on Nov 01, 2010, 12:51:47 AM
I started off by painting over the chest and stomach using Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow. I then painted over it using the same colour mixed with regular acrylic white paint dry brushed so the dark colour still remains in the cracks. I added yellow acrylic to the mix and drybrushed all the areas where green meets the flesh colour. I then mixed Tamiya XF-67 Nato Green with black to give a darker, grayer shade of green all over. I added more black to the dark green to make the spots. The hands had the lightest shade for the palms and the yellow colour on the top. I then coloured the back of the hand using the dark green, then put the dark spots over the top again. Hope this helps you dude.

Thanks, falconer looks great.. now i cant wait to see your unmasked berserker repaint .. cause it has a great face sculpt but a horrible paint app..

Oh that's soo cool!

How did you dull the green color on Falconer? I want to give mine a touch up but I'm not making my move till I know what paints and what tactics first.
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Glaive10 on Nov 06, 2010, 12:48:28 AM
Thanks alot man, believe it or not, although the Falconer had a decent paint job mine is 100% repainted. I gave him an all over wash (quite watery) on the skin with a colour called Asphaltum which is basically brown, if you get the courage to do yours make sure you get picture of it on, good luck
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Taraka on Nov 06, 2010, 04:31:31 AM
Hey its not courage I'm questioning its skill. I've tried painting stuff before and it came out horrible. The best I've done is recolor a charector figures hair, or given a dirty weathered look on a cosplay prop.

But yeah, I'll post when I eventually go through with it. Though it's not my priority with customs. I wanna make a Human figures before I start recoloring Preds.
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Glaive10 on Nov 06, 2010, 07:35:22 AM
Maybe if you get an older predator figure and try giving it a repaint? Cos it's hard to just buy a new one, open it, then paint it, That acrylic paint dries quite quick. I couldn't believe I did both of mine in one go?! I just thought here goes and started painting. If  you have skill in making figures painting should be easy for you, I'm not great at art etc. but enjoyed painting the predators, can't wait to do more!

I customised his face so he now has closed mandibles 8)

How did you manage to do that, it wouldn't just be hot water then move the mandibles? I'm waiting for the closed mouth version that comes with the alien, but if I could do that like you did it would save me getting the alien

Here are some work in progress shots of my Neca Classic repaint. The skin tones are about 90% finished, just need to do some final touches. I still have to work on the armor and trimmings, but I thought it looked cool without the armor on so here is a few shots:

I just used small strips of black material tied around just below the elbow joint. I never noticed this before but Anytime and Classic both have it in the movies. It helps to hide the actual joint too.

I removed all the armour piece by piece. Basically used a small screw driver as a wedge to rip the armour off which I will just superglue back together.

Ok so that falconer unmasked was a bit of a tease. It was just a WIP shot of the unmasked berserker head and I wanted to see what it looked like on Falconer (hence the red dreads). Here is the finished version of the Unmasked Berserker that the head was intended for:

Ok so that falconer unmasked was a bit of a tease. It was just a WIP shot of the unmasked berserker head and I wanted to see what it looked like on Falconer (hence the red dreads). Here is the finished version of the Unmasked Berserker that the head was intended for:

I mostly used shitty student acrylics and just mixed until I got the colours I wanted. I used a fine pen to draw the chest pattern and a thin brush to make the red spots. The head had many many coats. There was a lot of dry brushing and wet washing going on lol

Most people recommend Tamiya paints. I have a few, but honestly I just use my old cheap paints. Im too tight to spend money on a lot of paints so I make do with what I got. I find its all in the brush. Get yourself some good brushes and some really thin and fine ones for the details. Maybe look up painting techniques on youtube as well. Get some of your old toys or just some cheap ones and test techniques on them first. That berserker is my 6th custom i think. Looks better than my first one. Hopefully the ones I do in the future will be even better.

Guys, im hoping someone can help me?, about re-painting the beserker.  What do you guys mean by dry brushing? how would that help ?.  Also what would be better to paint it by hand or by air brush?, what kind of paint application would be best the greenish black one, or the recent one by Ghost Face?

Added netting and a few more other details to my Tracker and Falconer. Sorry about the blurry-ish pics, I'll try to take some better ones later.

Both have netting on the torso and left arm, and Falconer has netting on his right thigh as well. Also added leather straps to certain areas to add more detail. Also switched Falconer's armor with Berserkers, so Falconer has a Plasma Caster now. both have Wrist blades from the Mcfarlane AvP line (cut to different lengths) as I like the "layered" look of those blades better.

Customised my NECA Predalien basically because I hated it. I reshaped the mandibles, cut the dreads and slicked them under the crown and shaved a lot off the neck so the head can tilt back further allowing for a more crouched over stance. I then repainted the whole thing with a glossy black base, brown and bronze tints with silver highlights. I basically wanted it to look more like an alien than a monster that Chet was.

I'm gonna repaint my series 2 Berserker but not sure what colour to have him, keep it Grey or a Cream colour like the other 2 in his clan. It's just I haven't seen many repaints for ideas so if anyone has any suggestions it would help thanks

I received the Neca Berserker, Falconer, and Tracker for Xmas, and decided to repaint them. Of course I started with the most difficult, I guess to break myself in quick. Here are a few quick pics of the torso, I think it turned out pretty nice. I've been using set stills, and my hot toys figure as references. I'll post more pics if I can wrangle them out of my shitty camera...

wow that is beautiful, did you drybrushed all over the torso or you made every black spot separately...?

Hi there just a heads up cos tomorrow I should have my custom Tracker done, a bit nervous cos I can't find anyone else on this site  that has done one so mine could be the first. I've had nothing else to paint but this, did want to do the Unmasked Berserker but have not got many ideas yet so went for the Tracker. It is a complete overhaul some of it might not notice, will hopefully post some pics tomorrow

Hey guys, glad you like it so far. I did dry brush the red on the chest, the black scales were gone over with prismacolor pens ranging from 005 to 08 in nib size. I will admit that I got the inspiration from a few forum members repaints I saw while I was silently stalking the merchandise forums. I'm a detail freak, so it's fun to do the tedious work. Kind of. Hopefully I can get off my lazy ass and finish him, and get a few decent pics soon. You guys have been doing some awesome custom work, BTW, I'm glad I started nosing around in the forums.

Here's a quick update on the repaint, berserker should be done in a day or so. I just need to finish one leg... but I have to frame up an entire restaurant's worth of images where I work, so I don't know when I'll get back to finish him, hope you like it though...

Ok, for anyone interested, my berserker repaint is done (minus any small tweaks or touch-ups) Here are a few quick shots with a horrible camera (flash=vomit). I'll try to get a few decent ones later on.

i repainted him some time ago, before i saw the suit pictures - that's why he's not grey. but i like him more this way.

and falconer:

To uruk:

Looks insane! (in a good way!) The green looks great, BTW. You went bonkers on the detail, I think you win, haha! Falconer looks great too! I just took mine apart yesterday and started some base coats. I redid a bit on berserker's legs, and painted in the elbow and knee joints, since the last picture. My camera is so shitty that I  have trouble getting a good shot, but I'll try today.

Oh I know, man, just pullin' your leg!  ;D ... Just trying to say that your repaints are very impressive. But yeah, I agree with your point, if everyone who gives it a shot is satisfied, then it's def worth it.

Post by: Monstuh on Jan 01, 2011, 07:21:43 PM
Uruk! Those look incredible. Your super-talented when it comes to repaints. It makes me want to try my hand at some repaints myself.

What do you and others tend to use as far as applying paint? I have paints and brushes for art purposes, can those do the job or is there anything specific I'll need to have?  I guess it can also be your level of skill with the paints and resources you have that make the difference.
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: uruk on Jan 01, 2011, 07:40:51 PM
first of all, thank you very much. i do what i'm good at :)

i use acrylics for models (pactra, vallejo) and a few brushes. if you're familiar with some basic techniques such as drybrushing and washing, you're set.

thought i'd share with the rest of my repaints (better and worse ones :P)

That looks really good, the colour scheme is similar to a tiger, was that the intention?
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Njm1983 on Jan 01, 2011, 10:49:08 PM
Thanks, the camera actually makes it look worse than it does in person. Thats ok because I get to see some of the things needing fixing.

Yeah I was going for the "tiger" look. Most repaints have darks and neutral colors, I wanted to do something exotic and vibrant. Since Im a fan of tiger coloration and pattern I went for that look. i even looked at some tiger face pictures to see how the different patterns looked on the face, it just so happened zerker's face worked really well.

Hey Njm1983, That's a neat color scheme for the Berserker head. I'm eager to see the finished product.
Just looking at the pics though, I thought maybe the paint looks a little too heavy. Have you tried thinning it out with a tad of water, so as to let the texture of the plastic be more defined? Otherwise, looks super. :)

Hey all, everyone is sharing some great work, very cool! Ghostface, thanks for the kind words. It was mainly your, and Uruk's, repaints that inspired me to give it a shot. That's not to say that everyone else's didn't, 'cause there are a lot of great customs being shared by all.

So I have a few new pics of Berserker, I tweaked the paint here and there a bit. Just nevermind my horrible old camera. It loses a lot of detail, and half of the pics I take with it are blurry.

Here are a few decent shots...

Thanks for all the input - This is my very first full custom, so Im still learning the proper technique for applying the paint. I did go a little too thick on the head but its only real apparent up close. I did some upper body work tonight got it about 70% finished - still needs some washing and dry brushing on the arms, and the lower arms still need paint. Im welcome to suggestions or tips to improve.

i really dig the idea! what you need is a little wash - it doesn't have to be a very dark color - you just need to bring outside the details of the magnificent sculpt neca did. can't wait for the final result. you guys are great...

Thanks for the kind words Ghostface, I've just enjoyed doing them just to put them at a level I'm happy with but some of the customs rolling out now are very impressive. I've finished the NECA Predators all I've can do now is buy another one and repaint it differently or try my hand at some of my older Preds. Namely my 2 Wolfs or my various Mcfarlane ones. Great work everyone!!!

Thats bloody awesome. Though it needs more texture. Perhaps you should use a really watered down ink or watery paint to try and pick out some of that finely detailed body texture.

Well thanks to everyone for the tips - tried my best to improve the paint job. In some places I did and not so much in others. Ive just got to finish the hands and paint the gauntlets and calf bracers to match the rest of the armor and its finished. enjoy

not really a custom model or figure, but i dont know where else to put this really. this is my replica Celtic mask made by Hez, from the hunterslair and its an absolute work of art. my first piece of predator armor and i adore this.


Ahhh the beauty of a raw casting. if i could, i'd leave it like this.

please excuse my box of vinyls with Michael creepishly pearing over the dome of the helmet :D

Far from finished I'm looking to make this dirty and worn, almost like a P1 bio. and as always comments/critiques are always welcome! I'd like a bit of criticism as well a bunch of ' sweet job keep it up ' comments don't always help, so feel free to tell me if anything looks off or any suggestions you may have! More to come so stay tuned!

Ok it had to be done. Because we've never seen it before (not even in the movie) I was really curious as to what the berserker looked like with closed mandibles. As much as I love the Hot Toys version (actually a lot more than the real face) it isn't very movie accurate apart from the top of the head. The NECA sculpt is far more accurate. It is actually quite an ugly face with closed mandibles, which is kinda what they were going for I guess. Hope you guys like it.

Looks amazing! Now do you have multiple heads, or is that the original one that came with the unmasked figure? I wouldn't mind trying to make interchangeable mandibles somehow if I were to get this guy... wonder if that could be done? Again, it looks very cool, great job!

No such thing as trade secrets my friend  ;) I now have 3 berserkers, Masked, unmasked, and closed mandible. Basically what I did was take the mandibles off completely. I removed the bottom jaw and moved it slightly higher so the mouth isn't so far open. I then basically cut away the inside of mandible pieces so they could sit flush against the jaw. The lower mandables were cut off and repositioned, with some dodgy offcuts filling the gaps. I sliced the upper mandible off completely with a horizontal slice and moved it back because it sat really far forward. Once it was all glued back together I used clay to fill all the gaps to hide all the seams and slices. A quick sandpapering all over to smooth it all out before painting. The body was done the same way as before.

I love your customs man! The falconer is really coming along and that mask stand is fantastic! Great work! Hope to see a lot more from you!

Hiya again guys, since i finished painting my NECA Predators I've had nothing to do so I decided to repaint my masked Berserker.....again so it's gone from this(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg684.imageshack.us%2Fimg684%2F6875%2Fdscn1516y.jpg&hash=be33dba65bdc6c9b3ed6f8cad1ffa392475791a6)

Looks awesome! Very nice. The first repaint was fine, but your new effort looks incredible!

And Ghostface, thanks for the info, may have to try it myself some day soon, looks great!

So i never really liked the neca Wolf figure because of its lack of articulation, so i had a extra classic predator and mixed its parts with the wolf figure so it would still have some what detail im still tweaking out its painting almost done and anytime i posted late last year but the quality was crap so i took some of him too with the opening wrist computer check back for updates hope u like them!

Hey all, I finished up Falconer yesterday. Had a second at work to snap a few not-so-hot images, and here ya go. Also I took a few more of the HT 'serker helmet stand I made. I reworked it a bit, and added some ratty fabric, and a little chain deal. Then I gave it away, might make one for myself, who knows.

Oh, and here's a pic of a slight mandible mod I did to my HT Berserker, tried to get his open mandibles to be a bit more like the prototype. And after dicking around with them so much I had to repaint them... But I'm happy with it.

Hey, thanks everybody for all the positive comments! I just preordered the series 3 pred 3 pack, and also ordered unmasked berserker. So yeah, I guess I will be painting some more! And I have a few other forum members great work to reference, that and all the set pics. Also got my processing/shipping notice email from Sideshow, the HT Falconer is making his way here soon. Good thing I bought a second berserker head off of ebay, since that helmet doesn't come off... hmm...  ;)

I probably won't post it, but I edited my Predator and Alien from the 2 pack, but only slightly.
I cut the Pred's blades and made them black at the tip, making it appear they were melted off. I also removed one or two of his trophies.

I gave the Alien a few stab wounds, but not much.

Ok, so I built a little falcon to go along with falconer. He's built out of junk from my work, and around the house, just like the helmet stand was. He's not 100% accurate to the movie, and it was a bitch to try to get small details on him, but it looks OK. Good enough for a diorama...

Hello again guys, I was recently sorting through my collection and was going to give my son my Mcfarlane Predator 2 figures to make his clan a bit bigger, with his Falconer and Wolf. I gave him the MM6 Predator Warrior then just as he took the Hunter he said "can you paint it like your other Predators?". He's seen me repainting the NECA Predators you see. This is the result, try not to laugh to much, is a bit of a rush job, is a complete overhaul with my son's input. Enjoy?

Hey all, again! Everybody's posting some great customs! Here is my second attempt at the falcon, he's closer to movie accurate this time around. Still not perfect, but whaddya gonna do? So if anyone wants my first attempt falcon, and you're easy to ship to, I'd be glad to give him away to you. Just send me a PM, or something like that.

Yeah Master, looks cool. I did something similar, but different, for my HT Berserker. I added some rubber spacers to the leg pegs, where they meet the boots/feet. Subtle, but it added enough height that he'll be slightly taller than Falconer when he arrives, maybe. I also bought a second 'serker head, for spare parts. I already added 17(!!!) extra dreads to Berserker, and plan on using the rest for Falconer. And then there's the extra face bits and mandibles, guess he'll have a face after all.

I thought about something similar if he still was to small after adding in the waist area. But He`s ok. now. I also toyed with crotch armor and adjusted it in the way it`s realy hardly noticable right now  ;)

Hey all, again! Everybody's posting some great customs! Here is my second attempt at the falcon, he's closer to movie accurate this time around. Still not perfect, but whaddya gonna do? So if anyone wants my first attempt falcon, and you're easy to ship to, I'd be glad to give him away to you. Just send me a PM, or something like that.

Off topic: From what movie is your signature from?

Hey, thanks! I've actually reworked the little falcon a bit, to be even more movie accurate, just need to take new pics.

As for the signature, it's actually made up of images from 3 separate movies. Suspiria, Phenomena, and Opera, all great movies by Italian Horror Master Dario Argento!

Hello again, just a really simple accessory for my Tracker repaint, I like to think he would have it handy to keep the hounds in order!

Hi all, I too have just finished Tracker (started on unmasked berserker, but taking my time.) I'll say this, Tracker was a pain, and there aren't too many great shots of him to work off of. Not sure if he's 100 percent right, but I think he's close enough. (thanks to forum member sabres, his predators reference photos helped out on all of my repaints greatly, thanks!)

What type of paint do you guys use to repaint your figures?

And how to you prevent the paint getting caught in the joints?

InvisibleLimits, that's really good. a lot more detail than i did ;)

one thing i'd change if i were you - personally i think the armor should be darker - it seems to be too bright and shiny. that doesn't change my opinion though, this is great.

EDIT:
as promised, repainted berserker and tracker:

Hey, Uruk, those look fantastic! The unmasked berserker looks like a Beast!!! They both look very cool! Your repaints looks great, as usual!

As for the armor, it may be a bit bright. I took my photos at work, under some harsh fluorescent lighting, and then brightened up the pics... hmmm, now you've got me thinking. I used production stills from the movie, and the paint master promo shots as reference. May have to tweak him. Here he is in a different kind of shitty lighting...

Like I said, he was a pain.

And to samoht, all I use are cheap acrylics, mainly the brand "Folk Art", and a few nice Tamiya paints, and a few by the brand "Americana", and "DecoArt"... And I usually use Matte clear coat when I'm done.

So probably any acrylics would do?
I have got heaps of paint for painting 30mm miniature figures, so perhaps they will be good. If you say that you only used cheap ones, then it shouldn't be too hard to find some good paints.
Thanks mate.  :)



P.S, does anyone here undercoat there figures before they repaint them?

Should be done soon, with a custom base n' ery'thang. That's not true color either, I tweaked it a bit in the ole photoshop. It's darker in hand, mainly the reds. Also there are grey dots on his head, but they got lost a bit on the photos, for whatever reason.

Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: InvisibleLimits on Feb 01, 2011, 12:30:54 AM
Actually it's Pen, felt tipped pens to be exact, the 03, 05, and 07 Nib sizes are the best. That's how I did the scales on the chest, shoulders, and forearms. Well, the red IS dry brushed, the black was done with the pens, but besides the chest/arms, all the rest is brush painted. Lots of dry brushing, washes, and painting dots and hairs individually. Pain in the ass, but I like the end result.

One thing I ran into with the felt pens, I think my base skin color paint may have clogged the pens, they kinda crapped out. Maybe rubbing the tips on the plastic stops it up, or the paint itself does. Oh, and you have to be careful not to touch the ink for a while, it smears easy before it dries. Also certain brands I found let too much ink out, or something, they fill the gaps between scales, instead of getting all the nice raised areas. So, I guess it's similar to dry brushing, let's call it "cheaters dry brushing" ha.  ;D

Hey there gang! The Unmasked Berserker is all done, kind of a double edge, really. On one hand I think he turned out well, but he's painted a bit better than my masked Berserker. Also this was the last figure I currently have by Neca that I can repaint, and I've been painting them since christmas. So now I'm all out of things to do! Oh no... Time to scour Ebay for that elusive unmasked classic, I guess?

I changed back to the Zerkers original armor, and put a big plasma caster from AVP on his shoulder. I also used a different strap across his abdomen.

Here is my custom Celtic:

Hey y'all, here's something else I wrapped up today. I bought a second berserker head off of ebay, to give falconer a face when, and if, he ever gets here... But I also took some quills, and dreads off of the second head, and applied them to my Berserker. He has 16 additional dreads, and 8 additional quills on his checks.

Man all the custom paint jobs are so good. I dont have the patience for that kind of work. My custom is kinda sloppy, but its finished:

I changed back to the Zerkers original armor, and put a big plasma caster from AVP on his shoulder. I also used a different strap across his abdomen.



I actually like the Tiger look you gave him. Really interesting.

I'd really like to see it in brighter lighting. From what I can tell though he looks pretty primal. He could easily be a leader of a hunting clan that uses the dogs exclusively. Very cool.

Thanks for the comments on my tiger-zerker. The concept was cool, the execution not so much. If I did it over I'd use a darker base for the white and orange then use lighter / brighter versions dry brushed over to really bring out the detail. I was a little bummed because the clear gloss I applied muddled some of the colors into each other. I'm still happy with it, but I feel my Celtic is better because "less is more" and I've only painted his armor to match, rather than give him an all new color scheme.

Here is a WIP, whipped up a face for the HT Falconer, and made his helmet fit snug and able to attach/detach easily. Had to use a Dremel tool at work to sand down some plastic on the inside of the mask, and then I added some thick leather lace to the inside between where the mandibles fit in, and between the upper mandibles and the brow area. Fits more snug than the Berserker mask! Face is almost done, need to tighten up a few parts, and fix some spots HT missed... Almost there!

For the custom job? I have no secrets, my friends. Well, in regards to customs, ha. I'll do a rundown of what was done after work today, or tomorrow. He's all done painting wise ('cept his damn right eye, DOH!), just gotta put some clearcoat on him, and put his damned head back on.

Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: InvisibleLimits on Feb 20, 2011, 03:45:36 AM
Alright, got around to taking pictures of my completed unmasked Falconer. Turned out pretty Ok I guess. As far as materials used, well I had a second berserker head, used the face bits off of that. And then just the same cheap acrylic paints I always do. Oh, and superglue, great for plastics, and to bond flesh when you put an exacto knife blade into your thumb! Then I clearcoated it, first with matte clear coat, then some satin poly spray.

As far as techniques used, nothing special, just a lot of drybrushing, and washes. I applied my knowledge of painting the Neca falconer, and kinda applied it to the HT head. Also using the HT berserker head as a reference too, mind you. Had to paint more dots, I hate painting goddamned dots...

As far as tracker goes, I'm sure I'll buy him, not so sure if I'll go thru the trouble of giving him a face. We'll see how lazy I get later on this year. Anyway, here it is, hope you guys dig it!

Thanks guys, not the most "has to be done" custom, but it was fun to try. I guess it says not to take the mask off cause you could break some of the plastic doing so? It's glued down around the mouth area. If you remove it all carefully, you can put it all back together, having the mask stay on. I guess next I'll do the open mandibles, probably change how open they are compared to the berserker, and get a pic or two up. Thanks guys for the kind words!

(EDIT) : Here is the open mandible variant on Falconer:

Awesome work, that looks really good! Nice, clean work!

Here's something, a WIP, my second HT Falconer head repaint. It's a commissioned job for someone on the SideShow forum. I haven't completed the eyes, and have yet to receive the mandibles/teeth, but the head is basically done. The idea was for there to be NO red, and give it a hint of similarity to the Berserker's paint scheme, with different colors of course. Not sure if I was able to nail that aspect of it, but I think it looks OK so far. I'll post up some pics when it's all done...

I think he could handle a Predator, long as it isn't an Elite Veteran. (He's survived fights with people that're just as, if not, more dangerous than a single Predator.)

sanjuro04-Beautifully combined elements of wolf and Badbloods.
Great chosing with body- I think it has perfect proportions for a Predator. Also nicely changed shape of wolf mask, and interesting coloring-to sum up-Awesome.

So this is my custom Colonial Marine - He was the Club edition of Hicks from Mcfarlane however when his right arm broke off I decided to try and give him more articulated arms, and a different look than the regular edition of hicks which I also have.

The paint turned out ok, it looks better in the photos but the colors are slightly off. I used the arms off of a Lord of the rings figure. I removed the Knife in the front of the armor glued some pouches on instead, and removed the shotgun satchel. Yould also note I painted some black over the red heart on the chest and the "born again" on the shoulder pauldron. Overall Im pleased with the final result. Im debating whether I want to add some swivel joints to the hips and thigh areas. Enjoy!

Hey that's pretty cool. Even without the netting it looks sick.  The only thing that would bug me is the back pack being cocked like it is, but that's cause I'm super perfectionist. Even so I'd still give this baby 10/10 great job!

You shoulda used a Mcfarlane AVP backpack off scar or celtic.

I've got a few spares but the necks for the caster are almost all broken, but if ur going for accuracy you'd need to make new ones anyway.

Almost hardly noticable changes I made to em. The Body is Series 1 since the body I got in the 2 pack had some badly stiff joints, and I swapped out the right hand. The necklace is Mcfarlane, since the one that came with mine was too long and looks like its perminantly hanging at an angle. but I can probably fix that.

All I did for this was open the dome on the head and paint the inside of it with silver paint. I gotta do some touch ups since I noticed some parts look like were either not painted or they were worn off in the package some how.

Good job man.  :)

Hey, how did you take the aliens dome off?

I've been wanting to do that.
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Taraka on Apr 18, 2011, 12:43:59 PM
I'm not entirely sure what the tool I used was to do most of the work, but it basically looks like a screwdriver but the head it cone shaped. (Looks like a bit sewing needle on a screw driver handle.) I also used an exacto knife in some spots.

There should be a small openning on both sides of the aliens dones, above the ridges. The dome is made of soft plastic so what you wanna do is GENTLY used the needle tool to lift the dome outward, breaking the glue near it, and make your way toward the face. There are 2 tabs about where the teeth are. They should come undone if you keep using the needle tool.

When you've loosed the from of the dome and go to the back, that's were the exacto knife comes in. You need to use it to dig under the dome. Be VERY careful and break the seal. The Very back of the dome, I'm not entirely sure but I couldn't get it off, and didn't want to cut it off. I'm guessing its a larger tab.  But you won't need to completely remove the tab.  You should be able to open the dome. Then use either Silver or White modeling paint (I used Silver) to paint the inside of the dome. Paint all of it and evenly. Don't worry about the black painted sections because those are painting on the OUTSIDE of the dome, so the hard part has been done for you.

After that, put the dome back down and secure it with glue. (At least in the tabs. the dome holds pretty well without it as long as you didnt sever the back.) Congradulations, you have a more screen accurate Giger Alien.

Thanks.

But I'm a bit unclear of something.
You mean you didn't fully remove the dome? So you just lifted up up enough to get a paint brush in?

My main goal is to be able to scrape off some blemishes from the dome and perhaps touch up a bit of paint work on the actual skull. Is that possible?

One more question. When you pry the dome away from the skull with the tool, does it slightly warp the rim of the dome?

Thanks

Post by: Taraka on Apr 18, 2011, 11:53:29 PM
I might have to take a picture to show u. I didnt have to glue it back on, but the little tab thats really glued in on the back you can completely lift the dome off. It almost looks like you're doing brain surgery. Just dont cut that tab off, and since the dome is made f a soft plastic, it didnt warp. You can squeeze t a little while its still on the head and see what I mean.

In short that tab acts like a hing for the dome on the back of the head.

Damn dude, I'm literally on the otherside of the map, I'm in Florida. But I do have a paypal account. Let's settle for 5 bucks for the pack, I'll include the caster and the neck (if I can find it.) just decide how you want me to ship it and we'll take it from there.

Well she's finished but I left the chest area the original but might get some new colours for it later.

It was hard trying to find a dark colour so I used Gun Metal and a Gloss Black for the body and head.

I used my Cannon camera stats:

Exposure Time 1/30 sec.
ISO Speed - 1600

I see no Halo.
If there were Halo I would see it.
Where is the Halo?

the knee pads were taken from a Halo figure

Post by: Cap. Fitzgerald on May 08, 2011, 06:37:01 AM
Only as a base, yes?
Because you must have heavily modified them; they look nothing like any of the Halo figure knees from the figures I own (and I own most)
Bah, anyways.
Great custom man

Didn't change anything
Just pulled them off from this guy's thighs & glued them on my predator

Originally I wanted to use them as the cover of the predator's blade but needed something to make the leg armors look ancient

Another Predator custom figure made from:
Toybiz Ultimate Lizard (base body)
NECA Wolf Predator (feet)
NECA Classic Predator (hands)
NECA Berserker Predator (head & accessories)
Unknown Halo figure (accessories)

And thi is a great custom figure. I don`t dig those appendages on mask (too farfetched for my taste) but still it`s an awsome piece of work.
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Tribal on May 12, 2011, 03:36:25 AM

This is my first custom =D

All i wanted to do is to make Unmasked Berserker a little bit different from the masked version...

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-TUmMZSg4MdA%2FTctOF7EenyI%2FAAAAAAAACew%2FgXpaqDqhQc4%2Fs1600%2FDSCF0255b.jpg&hash=eab06647a540b39d4967c2e78a34b8853823dfb1)

I love the figure how it is, but i don't like to have two different toys from the same character :P

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-4jZJATfpxvY%2FTctN6gPTe9I%2FAAAAAAAACeg%2FKTLLUZf0z3s%2Fs1600%2FDSCF0249b.jpg&hash=40505c023bd98fe0b03393f35f66f45103d663fb)

I've noticed that McFarlane's P2 armor has the same color than unmasked berserker clothes, so i took off some pieces (and the disk) and glued on him :)

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F4.bp.blogspot.com%2F-WP-gGVylmVk%2FTctOGY69kJI%2FAAAAAAAACfI%2FohXRdhCLHiE%2Fs1600%2FDSCF0258b.jpg&hash=907806a0d45cf2353a92a1ec841577f0fa51ae43)

I didnt want screwup his outfit. This way he can be still a member of the superpredator's clan ;)

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-9bG7GTEM7-I%2FTctN6C6dLuI%2FAAAAAAAACeI%2Fm2ONc_IABMw%2Fs1600%2FDSCF0246b.jpg&hash=618ff34b314c8a561b23652dcfbbfa48f46b1521)

But now he is a different character, i call him Shadow Predator XD

Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: freedomfighter1111 on May 18, 2011, 05:17:42 PM
i translated the greek and this is what it said

Maybe some collectors who have the figures of the Hunters' series of Alien VS Predator McFarlane Toys have noticed that their bases are some slots to put some accessories but which never existed. These are the dioramas of the Scar and Celtic Predator, and the base of the Elder Predator. For some reasons that are never formally announced McFarlane Toys has decided not to include in the packaging of the figures as originally presented.
The frustration of many collectors was high, so the team FiguresWorld managed to find and secure some bases and dioramas for Greek collectors who want to complete their collection. All bases are designed to fit perfectly in all figures. It is made from resin and painted by very talented and experienced modelers!
Do not miss the unique opportunity to complete your collection!

Hey all you ALIEN and Predator freaks...thought I would share this customizing job I'm doing with y'all...  :)

I'm going to attempt to convert the NECA 18" Predator into the Elder "Greyback" from P2 with a little help from my buddy Joe.

There will be some sculpting as well as some customizing, hand fabricated and modifications done to the piece.

When I'm done, it will be raw with sculpted parts and accesories that will be ready to be primed up for painting.

Then I'm shipping it off to Joe Dunaway for a wicked paintjob on the Predator as well as all the accesories. This is when it will start looking like the Greyback.

When Joe's finished with it, It will come back to me for final assembly.

Now it won't be exactly movie accurate in some areas of the customizing (I know there are some fanatics here), but I will surely try my best.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2F49c9dd88881ba7219593eb9ee1834fb9_image_364x550.jpg&hash=b2d0289f2454617ebc29504074d0b03d271853ce) (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2Felderscreenshot1.jpg&hash=c3e0bf639ff3db4c84ddd05f53eda9ffd208c6ba)

So I started with the Flintlock pistol. I acquired one of these at my Comic shop. It's from the 18" Jack Sparrow figure. I remove all the parts that I don't need.

I shorten the bottom barrel. I cut the handle of the gun down and sculpt & smooth a small half circle to the end of the handle.

I sculpt in part of the hammer, pan and a frizzen on the flintlock using a part from Jack Sparrows gun. I also add that signature ring to the top.

I sculpt the plate which Raphael Adolini's signature is written and add some straps on the middle and end of the barrels.

Ok, I threw the left hand into the microwave for a few minutes to soften up the rubber. Then I bend the fingers to the closed position.

I then immerse it in ice cold water to shock it. Then I tied some rubber bands around it to keep it's shape.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0416.jpg&hash=0623754337069c0681030aec7d9b5d7a3d6fe353)

With the hand in the position I want, I set the bone in it. I found these bones at Micheal's craft store last Halloween. It's a perfect fit!

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0420-1.jpg&hash=fdc636c34c761a137bf4352b411663dd0cf94e5a)

Looking at reference pics, I freehand the Predators blade on a piece of very thin wood. Then I use my dremel and cut out the shape.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0422.jpg&hash=46776c2207e0ee4f77b7510e82218e1fe7a8e174)

From looking at the reference pics, the Elders bone has four articular cartilages pointing out. So I sculpt in two more on the top of the bone.

The closed right fist will be modified to an open fist so the Elder can hold his necklace in his hand.

I just cut the hand apart and then cut the fingers and make them straight. I use a pin to add some strength.

Then I use some AVES putty and sculpt in parts of the fingers as well as the silver knuckle guards. No need to sculpt in the palm, you won't see it.

Now on too the left hand that holds the sword. I sculpt in more of the silver knuckles guards to match the right hand.

I widen the glove area a little more and sculpt in the rest of the hand.

I also did the other right hand while I was at it...just in case I wanted to switch out the hands.

Ok, well here some belt details. I had to really think about how I wanted to do this, seeing as the legs move and pivot around the waist area.

The snake belt was rather easy, I just sculpted over the original belt. I used a small mesh onion bag to get the snake pattern.

While the putty is still wet, I lay the onion bag over the belt and push down. Can't push too hard or my fingerprints will show up.

I also sculpted in a loin cloth over the original one it came with.

The lower belt which hold the flintlock as well as the swords sheath was a bit more tricky.

Because the legs move and twist right next to the front loin cloth, I had to sculpt the belt higher on the sides and lower in the front running the putty line right next to the break in the leg.
I also need to take the legs off on that part to add the netting later so I opted to go this route.

You can see the tiny break line in the little v-shaped belt that holds the swords sheath. I hate break lines but this one needs to be there.

I had some extra putty left over so I beefed up his side pouch a bit. I also added little round hooks for the strap later on.

On to the right arm. I want the arm in the bended position so the Elder is holding his necklace.

I had to trim some of the inner side of the arm for clearance for the gauntlet.

Then I seperate the arm in 2 positions and glue the top of the male part of the forearms rod and push it in the female opening just enough for the glue to hold.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0478.jpg&hash=034b4dd86c67821d6818da6a4eb459d7cf0466af)

Using my AVES putty, I jam it into the open space and smooth it out a bit.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0502.jpg&hash=8608817c90e17d7d31eb5904a279f0269964b05d) (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0503.jpg&hash=c95a62367e3bf6533fe28de46b0be4df0b58d950)

Then I sculpt in the predators skin using various sculpting tools making sure it matchs all the skins lines.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0505.jpg&hash=ded6fa72278d8bf98b06187a116d3f4b542bd881)

I had no idea the Right side gauntlet was from the P2 Predator until someone here pointed it out to me (thank you). So I dive into my stash of Predator kits/parts to find a P2 gauntlet.

Luckily I had a 1/5 size P2 gauntlet and made a casting from it. Looks good to me!

Thanks guys for checkin it out! :panic:

There seems to be some discrepincies regarding the sheath. I have spent hours looking for pictures and doing research. There is only a few good shots of it, and they are not even that good in quality.

From what I can tell from my reference pics, there seems to be a skull on the top of the sheath. Looks like it has some kind of brass thingy hanging from it with some beads and bones attached.

The sheath may be leather or snake skin and has intertwining ropes flanking each side.

The NECA Elder Predator's sheath has a ribcage hanging on it, which is incorrect. The rib cage should be hanging from the Elders pouch on his left side, not on top of the sheath.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FElderbeltdetails.jpg&hash=2746dbb0adc47c5cfb4ba26e6bbba52e25420bb9) (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2Felderloincloth.jpg&hash=e862d0937acd0a3ec979fe6a31d60c2542400b23)

So, I came up with this. For the ropes, I used soldering wire. I attached the ends to a drill and spun it until it was intertwined.

I wrap each side of the sheath with the wires in the wet putty to secure it. I will add the bones and jewelry during final assembley.

Again, using my onion bag, I press a nice snake pattern into the sheath. I also added the little spinal bone. I thought it looked cool below the skull.

I Know it may not be movie accurate, but it will do. And I'm sure Joe is going to make it look awesome!!!

I also found a ribcage in my box of spare parts. It's attached with a nail to secure it. After paint, I'll add the straps that hold it on.

Post by: adegregorio on Jul 14, 2011, 04:14:49 AM
So how could I do all this customizing on this Elder, and not put his laser sights on top of his cannon? Well here it is.

I rummange through my bin of spare parts and find a 1/6 scale scope from a rifle.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0671.jpg&hash=ecd644f310346345661f0bbcf88f26d350c8da01)

I cut out the center part of the scope and then I drilled out the centers. I then cut 3 q-tips to the desired length and glue them in place mimicking the tri-laser sight.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0673.jpg&hash=e9976f786b604b9ce0c2caf433c0193e4fd6d6aa)

I had some left over fiber optic cable from a previous project I did so I thought I would use them on this. I also found a nice black hollow cable to house the fiber optic wires.
I'm running 5 fiber optic wires per laser hole...for a total of 15.

I also have a jar of little led light from various toys that I pulled apart. I found a red one...lucky!!!

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0678.jpg&hash=f892a06cf1b32a900af260a6b92ccef53d1523b8)

I thread the LED wires thru the black cable and then seperate them into 5 each and slide them down the q-tip cylinders.

Then I push the LED light up into the little plactic cylinder/black tubing that houses the ends of the fiberoptic lights.

And here it is attached and lit. The great part about using the q-tips is that they are white inside. So when the fiber optic lights go on, it glows all around inside the tube.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0689.jpg&hash=04c5f5abe23d0a27cc011625bdc10bf1c33e76bc)

I still need to sculpt a little box around the LED batteries, which will be placed under neath the open space just above the shoulder where the cannon rests.

More to come, so stay tuned!  :)

Post by: adegregorio on Jul 14, 2011, 04:16:50 AM
Ok, so we all know the head (and the body as well) is the original predator head modified to look more like an older Predator.

For example: the boney protrusions, broken tusk, more quills, colored dreads and beads, and multiple ridges in the forehead area.

All these things are what makes Predator Elder stand out. I saved the head for last because I knew this would make or break this custom figure. So here we go...

I started on the head detailing. I roll out some AVES in long tubes and run them parallel leaving a ridge right up the frontal bone.

I use a pointed wooden dowl wet at the end and start sculpting in my lines. I use irregular patterns to make it look more natural. I also smooth out the edges to make them blend in with the already sculpted head.

One trick I use to get multiple lines at once is I use a long threaded bolt. I take the thread side and lay it on the wet putty and twirl the bolt in different directions.

You can go deep or hard depending on how thick the threads are on the bolt.

I sculpted this little box to house the LED and fiber optic cables on top of his shoulder cannon. I tried to make it look like part of the backpack.

The wires come from inside the box to the laser sight.

I know it's not movie accurate, but I needed it for the LED conversion.

Now back to sculpting the rest of the head...
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: adegregorio on Jul 14, 2011, 04:19:21 AM
More head detailing...

Now onto the sides and lower mandibles. I spread some putty around the cheek bones simulating a half moon.

I use a little paint cap to position where I want to place the boney protrusions. Then I drop a little ball of putty on the circle and manipulate it into a little bone.

I mirror the same to each side of the cranium using the previous step.

I alter the mouth gums by adding two more sets of teeth. I also add some little boney protrusions on the lower part of his cheek.

I fill in those pesky break lines where the factory added the closed mouth on. For example: under his chin, sides of his cheeks and the top of the mouth.

Heres a shot of the final head sculpt. I think it looks pretty good!

I added the little teeth in the front and on the sides and put a few more boney protrusions around.

I'm not too crazy about how long the front mandibles are. From my reference pics, they look to be a bit shorter in length.

One more modification to the mandibles and we're all done.

Well, I trimmed down the mandibles to the correct size. I also beefed up the right tooth a little bit.

I made the tooth so it comes off. I did this so Joe could paint the inside of the mouth. Otherwise, it would have been very tricky to paint.

Joe wanted me to prime the head and send him a pic to see if I needed to change or alter anything. He likes it! Says it ready for paint.  :)

Amazing job. I'm gonna drool a little when I see it painted, I just know it. :laugh:

f**k, how does this have such a small amount of comments? You're doing a f**king fabulous job, man.
I'm thinking that some of the members are still in awe of adegregorio's great work and dedication to this project. Damn good work!

Well, this is it! He's finally finished. I must say this was a long and daunting project. He's all packed up and ready to ship to Joe.

I want to say thanks to all the guys who commented and all of you who helped me out tremendously (you know who you are).

So heres the final shots (missing a few conversions but they are there).
I took these pics earlier so they may look a bit different. The last modification I did was sand down the gums a little more and add the longer dreads to the fronts and sides.

It looks a bit odd with all the different colors and such, so try to picture the Elder somewhere under there.

Man I can't wait too see how Joe paints this up.

its very nice, very good sculpting!. one thing i don't get though, you sculpted one arm into a fixed position, but you left the other arm etc to have the joints still visible...wouldn't it be better to fill these gaps on all joints and make a statue then? insteed of one seamless arm and the rest are not.

Title: Alien Sphinx
Post by: Gigerapparition on Jul 27, 2011, 10:25:14 AM
Hello all. After two years working on her on and off, a creation of mine, the 'Alien Sphinx' sculpt is live on
my webpage now (scroll right down to near the bottom):

http://www.martinocatalano.com/AlienandGigerrelatedwork.html (http://www.martinocatalano.com/AlienandGigerrelatedwork.html)

She's made with a 50/50 mixture of firm Plastiline and 'Terracotta Wax', because the latter alone, I find,
is too soft to work with where detail is concerned and literally melts like fudge in your hands.
I've got to mould and cast her yet, it may be very late August by the time the first cast is ready.
They will be in a bonded-metal and very weighty and labour-intensive to produce, so pricing for this provisionally
will be in the hundreds and an extremely limited edition of about 50 worldwide. For now, if you can picture her in
a very dark gunmetal colour with dull brass/bronze highlights, that's what the finished casts will look like.

Hope you all like her, comments and criticisms welcome.

What body do you use as base for your custom?
I only work with paintbrushes.
And I've found out after makeing several figures ( 1:18 scale) that the Predators skin looks best when you give it a base coat, wash then drybrush. The wash really helps to bring out the texture.

Ok guys, here ya go! These are the first progress shots of Joe's paintwork on the custom NECA 18" Predator I modified into the Elder Greyback...and I must say...AWESOME!!!  :)

Joe said he has a long way too go with this, and of course, he is very busy.

But I am so glad to finally see some paint on this Elder conversion...especially the head.

Can't thank you enough Joe...looks fantastic!!!  :)

This dudes got talent! Looks cool how you modified him to remove the polka dots. I thought they removed those but they did not the only reason I thought they were gone was because I keep my predators in a dark shady area and I couldnt see them till looked at him in the light.

Very amazing work on the 18" Elder! Absolutely breath-taking, it's what I want to do with my 8" Figure.
What tools do you use?
What kinda putty?
What kinda paint?

My girlfriend bought me some decent Polymer Clay, is that decent for any of this sculptering work?
How do you make that rubber-like-plastic that the chest peice and other squishy flexy stuff?

The reason for all these questions is that in my spare time, I'm making a NECA AVP Celtic predator.
I'm completely resculptering a new mask from Polymer Clay, just not sure if I can use it as a finished touch.
I have the armor from the McFarlane (Arms, shoulders, back, leg, belt + flaps) Scar, modified it for the Celtic. (No ab-coverage and only one thing of thigh armor on the right leg.)

I'd love some tips guys! I'll post a screen of my results so far... Oh I also have the backpack, but I can't find the damn spear! :(

In the meantime, here's some stuff I've done. :)

Hey guys! been working on my Neca Elder. Hes not finished yet. But I have finished some of the changes to make him more movie accurate.

I added his laser site, its a combination of minor sculpting and using a scope from another 7" inch figure gun. I also removed the tube connecting the chest plate and shoulder pauldron, as well as the tube connecting the left gauntlet to the lower shoulder plate. Ive also moved the rib cage from the sheath and attached it using string looped through the belt over his pouch on the left side.

I removed the skull on his belt carefully using a razor blade and glued it to the top of the sheath.

The next things Ill be doing is painting the bald spot where I removed the skull and sculpting the strips of cloth using Apoxie sculpt and applying them to his gauntlets. Thanks for looking!

As talked about in my previous post, I'm making a custom AVP Celtic Predator using a series 2 battle-damaged classic predator as the base. I haven't received my polymer clay, waiting for it still. Good ol' shippin.
Anyway here are those pics I talked about, let me know what you think!

I need tips on making a chest plate, paint, how to get a finished mask, etc.
For the helmet, I'm thinking of being a cheap ass and removing the battle damaged one, then crafting one straight onto the head. But I'm open to making my own stuff, I'm just a noob at it so I need suggestions, etc.

AVP PREDATOR UPDATE.

I'll have some screens very shortly of the predator with the polymer clay sculpted on! (I'll edit this post.)
I will also have some posts of him after its baked so I can start painting!
Very keen for feedback, It's my first actual sculpting so hopefully it isn't ****ing terrible.

Out of curiosity... what paint to you guys use for re-paints/touch-ups? I have always used acrylics with mine with no probs, but i just wanted to know what you guys use (with possible better results).
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Sabretooth on Aug 27, 2011, 09:57:06 PM
I'm using Tamiya acrylics.
If you're doing a repaint/touch up, I tend to paint everything a particular colour.
I let that coat dry. (Takes an hour roughly with Tamiya paint)
Then I apply a second coat (To start adding detail.)
Theeeeeeen I apply a third coat (which is anything from a detailed coat to whatever.)
Sometimes a fourth coat is needed when I mess with the skin, because it's just a huge experiment to make sure you get everything. :)

Basic techniques I use are: Using a dry brush with barely any paint (dark or light paint) to detail armor and skin.
For this, I have Tamiya XF-1 (black) and I have Tamiya X-11 Chrome silver. I apply the black first, then a little bit of silver.
You'll see in my upcoming pics of my Predator. (Been lookin for my iphone cable everywhere!)
That I use this technique for a lot of things. Very simple and you'll master it quickly.

I know the mask looks like clasic series 3 mostly, but I actually filled in the broken gaps from the series 2.
I plan on adding to it later to make it look like celtic.

I know the mask looks like clasic series 3 mostly, but I actually filled in the broken gaps from the series 2.
I plan on adding to it later to make it look like celtic.
Looks good! You've done a good job!

Thats awesome dude. What material were you using?

And might I suggest using a watered down black ink wash (matt gloss or course) over the armour. Just to make it look more accurate. Seems a little raw and shiny thats all.

Love your work mate!

Post by: Sabretooth on Aug 28, 2011, 01:19:56 PM
Thanks guys. :)
I'm probably going to mix up a darker shade to paint over the armor.
But for the moment I'm just going to leave it like that until the legs and feet are complete.
Plus we all like shiny things. ;p

I use "Mont Marte" Polymer Clay, it's very simple to use. It sets in the oven at 120c or 148F.
From what I've seen around the internet, it's pretty cheap and comes in a bunch of colours.

Finally finished up my customizing of the Elder. added his leather straps to the gauntlets and painted them. I had a heck of a time finding reference pics, so I ended up using the Hot toys version to lay mine out. I also patched up that spot where I had removed the skull from his belt. Sorry for the slightly blurry pics :P

Nice custom job man! I did something similar. You should also remove his wristblades since he doesn't have those in the movie either. Also, his computer gauntlet has mesh cloth wrapped around it. Here's what I did.

Thanks, your work was what inspired me to get mine finished up. Even though his blades are gone in film, I preferred to keep them in. I like how you used real mesh and straps. I preferred to use apoxie sculpt just to maintain consistency throughout the figure. I'm looking forward to seeing others renditions.

Oh haha cool! Yeah unfortunately it's so hard to find good reference pics of Elder/Lost Preds. The straps are simply skinny rubber bands with brown permanent marker (which give off a great leather look) and I was lucky to find the mesh in my mom's drawer of textile things.
Title: Giger Alien 78 - Design VI?
Post by: icedog97 on Aug 30, 2011, 01:51:50 PM
I was just wondering if anybody had ever done a customized figure of the creature design Giger did before the final one seen in the movie? I have a 1/4 NECA Alien with a dome that's been painted and I am thinking of converting it.

If I am not mistaken, the design I am thinking of was titled 'Alien VI' from 1978. I have only found a couple of drawings of the design...one is included below:

Well, I received the Elder back from Joe, now it's it's time to add some accesories and make some adjustments.

A little paint and gloss here and there. Beads, netting, bones, weapons and add the laser sight harware to the shoulder cannon.

When I was talking to Joe, he mentioned that the Elder's accesories had to have that used universe look....seeing as the Greyback has been around for a while.

So to achive the old used grungy look, I'm going to heavily stain some of the accesories. Alot of modelmakers use this technique to really bring out the details in model kits before they lay down a base coat.

I have about 7 or 8 different colored stains that I have picked up at lowes over the years. The one I will be using for the Elder is a dark Rosewood stain.

I dip the parts in the stain and pull it out, let the stain seep in for about a minute, then pat them dry with a paper towel. I do this 3 or 4 times to each piece to make sure the stain is penetrating the surface.

I used some bright colored wood beads and the stain really makes them look old and worn. Even the glossy colored beads get a nice coat of stain. Then I seal them with Testors Dullcote.

I made an old pop top that hangs from the Elders netting. I stained it a few times and let it dry. The look I wanted to achieve worked, it looks old and rusty.

Well heres the dreads done with all the bead work. It took a while to place them and fit them in the right places, taking them on and of the head...but overall I'm very happy with how these turned out.

When I was sculpting the added features on the face, I knew that would make or break the look of the Elder...the beads were the same way.

:) Thanks man! Yeah, the elder has alot of beads. I know they are not exact to the movie, So they will have to do.

Plus it was hard to find the right scale beads for the him. He's 1/4 scale (18 inches) so I really had to search for the right size...not to big, but not too small.

For the 7 inch version, you are going to need some really small beads using a really thin wire. Their out there, you just got to find them.

Alright, what I've got here is my creation due to boredom.

AVP predator is going okay, just sculpted the armor on his right calf. Funny enough, due to the modifications I've made. The leg is about .5mm taller then the other leg. (not sculpted)
So when it's done, he'll be a wee bit taller.

Hmmm its less grey. His skin is more yellow, bleachy fleshy coloured.

Also try drybrushing black over the texture on his torso.

The hot toys Berserker is a good reference. Check these pics out.

@Samoht It might be fixable, but you'd only have a small surface to glue to get it posable again. Thats why I just opted to permanantly fix it, also removing the joint by skulpting over it. It's possible, but would be difficult.

With some of the recent work going on around here, I was inspired to revisit my custom celtic predator. Originally I had used Predator 2 chest armor but in light of all the Lost preds coming up who use that same design, I went ahead and sculpted armor right to the chest.

Ive also added some straps between each piece of thigh armor, new designs to the wrist gauntlets and thrown in those nifty pole mounted skulls that AVP Chopper totes. Other minor additions coming later will be shoulder pauldrons and upper arms guards from the AVP figures, Ill also sculpt the straps onto the upper arms. Paint will come later today.

Nice job on both the zerker, and the AVP predator! My only critique is how heavy the silver is applied to the AVP pred, I feel that the armor is losing a lot of its detail as a result. I really do like the choice of colors though.

It was your AVP pred that inspired me to sculpt armor onto my celtic - Ive found that the Celtic head is just the right size if you properly line up the head with the neck, Its the dreads which drive me nuts since they are in a pre-posed arrangement. The upside is that they are in a position thats different from all the Neca preds.

Ok, heres a little update...

Worked on the sword and the sheath. Weathered the sword blade a bit with some transparent colors and then blotted it to get a rusty cracked look.

I also wrapped the bone handle with some twine and stained it with some Dark Walnut stain and added some little beads.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_1289.jpg&hash=85e23d66b397689a02988d17367d6a7734c07f10)

For the flintlock, I didn't want to paint the gold pieces on around the handle and butt of the gun. I really wanted it to look authentic with some brass plates and fittings.

I found a couple of little brass finger rings. I cut out the pieces I wanted and glued them to the gun. I still need to weather them a bit, but you get the idea.

Post by: Sabretooth on Sep 06, 2011, 05:25:14 AM
Thanks!
A majority of people have commented on how heavy the silver is, and I absolutely agree.
This is just the second coat, I'm currently just messing about with mixes of black and gun metal to get the right shade of grey.
Gonna mix in a tinsy bit of chrome silver just for that after shine like on the Mcfarlane, but the Mcfarlane is actually a tad too dark. If you see all the collectables and statues, it's about one shade lighter then portrayed on the Scar predator figure. (My peice of avp stuff.)

Thanks to everyone about the berserker, once I get some white and red paint, it'll be finished. (White to mix with the light brown to make a somewhat thin skin-toneish brown like on the berserker)

For the flintlock, I didn't want to paint the gold pieces on around the handle and butt of the gun. I really wanted it to look authentic with some brass plates and fittings.

I found a couple of little brass finger rings. I cut out the pieces I wanted and glued them to the gun. I still need to weather them a bit, but you get the idea.

Well my custom celtic has been put on hold. My local hobby shop doesnt have the Tamiya paint I need to finish. I either have to repaint all the armor in a different brand or just wait it out. Kinda bummed but apparently Tamiya is relabeling their product lines so they wont be producing anything until that is complete. which means if you need certain colors get em while you can.

Ebay is your friend when it comes to Tamiya products.
Try and find the 23ml bundles or the 10ml bundles.
Otherwise, just find a sturdy brand of acryllic paint and you'll be fine.
I personally like Tamiya because my family introduced it to me, but if I hadn't had it - any decent brand would've sufficed.
If you need to know the colour codes for the skin colour I used, just ask! Very simple.

Holy cow....that awesome. How did you make the gun?

The flintlock was modified from a pirates of the Carribean 1/4 Captain Jack.

It took alot of modifying to get it to that point.  :laugh:

Thanks for the comments guys, glad you like him.

I knew this was going to be the most difficult parts of this custom...finding the netting. And it took a while too.

But I guess living near the beach paid off. I happend to stumble across some netting on a lighthouse in a gift shop.

I brought the Predators torso with me to see if it would work, and it looked pretty good. Its a tough cloth material. And it very sturdy.

Thanks for the advice, I ultimately just got another color and repainted all the armor to match - Im not going to repaint the body, I dont really wanna deal with painting the netting. lol.

Ive finished up my celtic, I just need to add the arm straps and paint them. so pics will be up soon.

Adegregorio's work shall never end.
Nor will the Predator, he will live a very healthy active and long life. ^___^
I think his next project should be to do a Large scale AVP predator. I'd love to see that!
But once this is done, send it to NECA and say, "Now this... This is quality."

The netting wasn't actually that hard to paint mate, you have the netting marks pop out so you can easily run over it with a nice small tamiya paint brush. :)

Post by: Taraka on Sep 08, 2011, 12:57:25 PM
Sabretooth, I don't mean to step on ur toes, but they DO produce fine quality. The thing is replicating it in a factory. Lately they've improved it, but if everything was as good as our guy adegregio is making, every single peice would be hand made, and it'd get more expensive than the hot toys figures.

Frankly I'm grateful for what we get from Neca, cause it's a whole lot better thn Mcfarlane. I've never seen someone repaint and customize a mcfarlane fig without it being composed of another action almost completely.

Post by: Sabretooth on Sep 09, 2011, 01:00:46 AM
I see where you're coming from, but I am entitled to my opinion. Which isn't enforced by one bad encounter but several.
But like I've said several times in my posts, it seems Australia gets the worst paint jobs.
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: adegregorio on Sep 09, 2011, 01:08:25 AM
Thanks guys for checkin it out.  :)

Yeah, I'm afraid this would take way too long and be very costly for any factory to produce or replicate something like this.

But you never know, NECA has surprised us before...they may do it again.


Well, this is the last of the in progress pics. Added the shredded netting to the his left gauntlet and wrapped it with some chord and twine.

I also wrapped some strands of rubber chord around the gauntlet as well as the elbow joint so the arm would be flexible...and it also hides the rotating joint.

No ties or chords on his right gauntlet. I don't think there was any in the pics I saw.

Other than that...a few more details to tie up and then he will be all finished. :(

That is fantastic work on the custom Celtic, mate!
Few questions if you don't mind. :P
How did you get the celtic head onto the Neca body? Did you cut the ball joint hole into the underside of the head?
And how did you go about making the hand-held maul? (Which looks amazing.)

Either way, I am very impressed! I will be doing more work on my AVP Predator sometime this coming week.
It's my birthday on the 10th of september, so I'll be intoxicated for most parts so it's not appropriate to work on it then. ;)

And Sabretooth, I wasn't trying to correct you, I was stating why we don't get the figures to the exact quality of the proto's. Truth be told, I'm right there with you, especially looking at the Lost Pred protos.  Sooner or later, someone's gonna create a new method to replicate things to perfection, and not as costly as by hand.

Thanks for the comments.

To answer your questions sabretooth. I actually carved out the underside (using a dremel tool) of the celtic head to match as closely as possible the underside of the Neca heads. I plugged the original hole used to connect it to the mcfarlane body and drilled a new one a tiny bit further back so the head lined up better.

The maul was quite simple I just removed one of those massive blades attached to the mcfarlane AVP preds and tweaked it a bit using a dremel tool. Then I used a handle from a sword so my pred had a way to grab it. I felt this way was more realistic than having 4ft blades attached at the wrists.

Post by: Sabretooth on Sep 11, 2011, 01:51:37 AM
Ah! Well I got lazy too and put Scar's head on my body.
To get the dreads more realistic, just put the head in the oven at about 130F.
Sit it there for about 5 minutes, then move the dreads and hold them. (I recommend having gloves on due to the heat.)
I shall be doing that later, as well as permanately attaching the armor on.

Update soon.

wow looks cool. He definitely looks like hes been through some rough years... I like it.

That spear-scyth looking thing is interesting. The maul is nice too. Technically I stole the idea from predator: concrete jungle. so no hard feelings. : )

Yeah I've made it look a bit more darker then before.
I think I outlined this technique as its very popular, but all I did was first coat was a really dark grey, then you get a dry brush with barely any chrome silver on it or whatever colour you wish to blend in, and you lightly brush it on.

Well I know it's from Concrete Jungle (Good game btw, one of the best, wish it was remade for the xbox 360)
But you took the concept from the game and utilized it into the NECA figure world, so kudos on that.
Then yeah! Also the weapon is like a Spear-Scythe-Raping-Thing-Tool. So... You can see I'm open to suggestions for names!

Any new plans for your custom/future customs?

Hiya guys I've had a custom Predator finished for about a month now but am stuck on how to post pics, I have in the past using Imageshack but it must have been a free trial or something. When i want to use main thread it says to log in or join just wanted to know if it's safe to do so, just want to show you my latest work!
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Njm1983 on Sep 14, 2011, 11:53:11 PM
you could always use photobucket.com - show us your work. : )

@sabretooth: I dont have any plans yet to do another custom.... ran outta preds to do so... depending how the Predator 2 series' go I could make a couple customs if I get duplicates of a certain pred.

Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: Sabretooth on Sep 15, 2011, 10:39:18 AM
Yeah photobucket is definitely the way, it's what I use. Plus it's free!

You can buy the Predator from the two-pack on ebay loose for about $15-17
Not bad if you need a body to work on. :)

Post by: Glaive10 on Sep 17, 2011, 11:13:21 AM
Hi guys,this is my new custom Predator known as Scavenger, this is his bio I made up for him: The Scavenger Predator is a savage creature, he gets his name from collecting weapons and equipment from other Yautja he has killed, they are his trophies. Trained as an understudy by the Berserker this youngblood will soon be ready to lead his own hunting clan. When finding the Berserker's body on the hunting preserve he claimed his next trophy. He now wears the Berserker's alien jawbone in his honour.
Enjoy

Well, here is the finished product. A converted NECA 18" Predator into the Elder Greyback. It was a long, tough road to get it to where it is now, but I think it was well worth it.

I wan't to thank Joe D. for his superior paint skills bringing this to life. Also want to thank all the help I got thru Pm's and e-mails to get it to look just right.

And a big thanks to Devil 666 for photoshopping the Elder into the ships interior...thanks bud!

I really hope NECA comes thru and produces one of these for you Predator fans. I know this will be one of my own personal prized pieces in my collection.

Thanks for checkin him out guys for the past few months.

Al DeGregorio :)

I wan't to thank Joe D. for his superior paint skills bringing this to life. Also want to thank all the help I got thru Pm's and e-mails to get it to look just right.

And a big thanks to Devil 666 for photoshopping the Elder into the ships interior...thanks bud!

I really hope NECA comes thru and produces one of these for you Predator fans. I know this will be one of my own personal prized pieces in my collection.

Thanks for checkin him out guys for the past few months.

Al DeGregorio :)

Post by: uruk on Oct 10, 2011, 04:31:50 PM
what hits me the most is that the head color doesn't match the rest of the body at all. maybe you should wash it the same way, AND THEN repaint it?

Post by: Glaive10 on Oct 10, 2011, 04:37:09 PM

I've been strangely absent from this particular thread, so here I am with a re-paint.
A lot of you enjoyed my berserker repaint, so I've repainted the series 1 classic predator.
It's not entirely done, armour needs to be repainted and details added, otherwise all good.

Here are some before and after pics.
(Ps. The head used is my AVP head I modified, the unmasked head is on the AVP body.)

Not to sound weird, but that looks identical to the re-paint I was doing on my elder yesterday! Very good work!
Did you see the set pictures and stuff to get the idea of where the grey spots go?

yep, and looked up the HT version, although his spots are almost black... mine are not that dark, it's the light. thanks!

Post by: Sabretooth on Oct 27, 2011, 08:28:08 AM
In the set pictures, they're dark grey. And his armor is a very very dark almost black looking colour.
I'm basically out of black so I used the darkest grey I had then applied a very thin coat of black.
i'll post pictures when I'm finished. (Ps - nice photoshopping on the background as well)

Post by: Njm1983 on Dec 05, 2011, 09:41:44 PM
So this weekend I spent a day or so tinkering with my red predator custom I did a few months back. I wasnt as happy with it it as I thought. So I went back and took a look at what would make him more unique. I decided a theme around swords would be new and interesting, plus with all the Lost preds coming I felt that dual throwing discs and all the Predator 2 gear he was just going to be redundant.

First I gave him new dreads since the old Mcfarlane ones looked like shit. i used Some extra Wolf dreads I had, and I used an exacto knife to separate most of the strands further than they were. Giving them more movement and flexibility. Then I gave him a touch of Jack sparrow flair and added a sash to the left side of his head along with one of the beaded strands from a jack sparrow figure.

The next thing was removing the shoulder pads I gave him since they impeded the movement of the arms vertically. I went back to using the Classic style but did this for both arms. I then painted them to match the rest of his armor. I then decided adding the ceremonial dagger from the Mcfarlane AVP preds would be cool mounted to his back, and itd help hide some of the holes from the original armor.

I changed His loin cloth to that of Neca's Conan figure. I liked the look and wanted it to be different from the Predator 2 one I had used before. I had to remove the sword sheath because it interfered with the figures  left arm movement. I later attached it to a left over sash from wolf (used for those laser mines) and glued on a strand of Skulls from one the anytime figures.

Last thing I changed was his thigh armor, Since I wasnt using discs I didnt need 2 holsters. I figured hes got a lot of skulls on him, So a few more would round him out nicely. So I sculpted on to his body these leather straps and then pressed into them 3 skulls onto either side.

Got my NECA City Hunter today.  Cool figure, but it needed a repaint...  I didn't mess with his eyeballs or dreads, everything else is newly painted.  His eyes don't show in the photos - bad lighting.
His lighter areas were stark white out of the package, so I started by painting everything a creamy flesh color and built up fresh from there.  When I was done I brushed on a thin coat of polyurethane to give him a shine.  I also cut the stings off of his loincloth and super glued the loincloth back on (didn't like how the strings looked) and I took off his "man-purse"  :laugh:

hope you like it

I bought City Hunter, Shaman and Boar all at once.  I'm thinking of repainting Shaman too, but I'm not quite sure what I'd change.  There's nothing really wrong with him, he's just a bit bland.

Thanks.  A wash is probably what I should have done with Shaman.  I went a little overboard and turned him into a major project.  Hopefully I'll have time to finish him later today and post pics.

Shaman complete repaint  8)
I wasn't going for screen accuracy.  I wanted something kind of ghostly, so I used a lot of gray rather than black/white and darkened him up all around.

I just got my McFarlane Res Alien in the post today. Got him super cheap of ebay cuz his head is broken off, which is fine because my intention from the start was to fully re-paint him and his head can easily be glued back on (though it will be unmovable). Soooooooo any can anyone offer any tips for a good sealant after i paint him (acrylics)? Shiny is fine cuz that will give him the slimy look.

Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: The_Worm on Dec 31, 2011, 01:40:58 AM
First off the work I see here is amazing. Secondly I am looking to do my first custom and wanted to ask a question. Now I am not new to painting figures as I have been building Warhammer stuff for a few years now (yes I am a super nerd I know), however those come completely unpainted. What I want to know when it comes to repainting a Neca Predator figure is do you guys primer the figure first and then paint or simply paint over what is already there? Also what type of paint do you guys use. On my Warhammer stuff I use simple acrylics and then go over them with an acrylic seal.

The custom I am looking to do comes from the HORRIBLE Elder Predator figure Neca produced. I have bought a few of these guys trying to get one that doesn't snap at the arm joint (I now understand it was a manufacturing error) and I have now decided to just build a custom one myself. I want to take the Elder head and place it onto one of the new bodies from the new series (which are fantastic by the way) and then from that repaint the elder head (which has a horrible paint job on it now) to match whatever body I end up putting him onto. I will move what gear I can from the original elder body to the new one, it won't be screen accurate but I think itll be cool to have my own custom NOT BROKEN Elder.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

@Fry1236 - thanks, the pred-alien in AvP 2010 wasn't a praetorian, just a regular albeit slightly mental pred-alien, best one yet IMO

@The_worm - i used warhammer paints without primer, bit of a pain with the super preds cause i needed to do several layers to fully cover. i used to have same problem with series 3 figures, when u get them just boil some water and pour into bowl big enough for pred fig, take off the head and accossories and drop him in for a few minutes till its soft, the arms bend right away then.

@SizzyBubbles thanks, the pred-aliens colors are actually straight out of the box. i only blackened a couple of places

Kool customs Wolf!

Quote from: The_Worm on Dec 31, 2011, 01:40:58 AM

The custom I am looking to do comes from the HORRIBLE Elder Predator figure Neca produced. I have bought a few of these guys trying to get one that doesn't snap at the arm joint (I now understand it was a manufacturing error) and I have now decided to just build a custom one myself. I want to take the Elder head and place it onto one of the new bodies from the new series (which are fantastic by the way) and then from that repaint the elder head (which has a horrible paint job on it now) to match whatever body I end up putting him onto. I will move what gear I can from the original elder body to the new one, it won't be screen accurate but I think itll be cool to have my own custom NOT BROKEN Elder.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Why don't you just email adams@necaonline.com w/ your address and a picture of the broken arm and get a new one from the NEW & GOOD factory in China that NECA is using now?  It's that easy, you'll have a new & better Elder in your mailbox.  Then use the broken ones to customize.......

WHOA. :o That Predalien....amazing. You should sell some, or at least include a step-by-step tutorial on making one.

The Praetorian looks kind of awkward though? Like the body is to skinny for the head. You should try using the NECA Predalien figure as a body & painting it black. What figure did you use for the headcrest?

The Praetorian looks kind of awkward though? Like the body is to skinny for the head. You should try using the NECA Predalien figure as a body & painting it black. What figure did you use for the headcrest?

ill try put up a tutorial, the praetorian's proportions are same as the games, its just the pose that makes it look awkward, crest is from the MCF AvP series 2 queen

@Fry1236 - thanks, the pred-alien in AvP 2010 wasn't a praetorian, just a regular albeit slightly mental pred-alien, best one yet IMO

Ok, were do you see/read the praetorian then ?

Kool customs Wolf!

Quote from: The_Worm on Dec 31, 2011, 01:40:58 AM

The custom I am looking to do comes from the HORRIBLE Elder Predator figure Neca produced. I have bought a few of these guys trying to get one that doesn't snap at the arm joint (I now understand it was a manufacturing error) and I have now decided to just build a custom one myself. I want to take the Elder head and place it onto one of the new bodies from the new series (which are fantastic by the way) and then from that repaint the elder head (which has a horrible paint job on it now) to match whatever body I end up putting him onto. I will move what gear I can from the original elder body to the new one, it won't be screen accurate but I think itll be cool to have my own custom NOT BROKEN Elder.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Why don't you just email adams@necaonline.com w/ your address and a picture of the broken arm and get a new one from the NEW & GOOD factory in China that NECA is using now?  It's that easy, you'll have a new & better Elder in your mailbox.  Then use the broken ones to customize.......

Thanks for the info on this slaysaliens I had no idea Neca would do that for me. I sent an email with pics attached today. I suspect since this was a wide spread problem it will take them some time to get back at me but if they are going to get me a new figure from their new factory the wait will be welll worth it. Of all the figures I have wanted the Predator 2 Elder the most so it has been frustrating for sure. I will just use the other one for parts and come up with a completely different creation. Thanks again!

No prob, it will take a bit of time....but it'll be worth it.  I had to do it with my Classic and that was the process.  It should work just fine for you as well!

Im still in the process of coming up with ideas and armor, I really like the use of fur so Im contemplating how to add sculpt more onto him. Eventually once I finalize everything he will get a full repaint.

true, though slowly is more like I put an hour in.... then go 2 or 3 weeks before another hour. lol. Im reworking on the mask now, sanding it down since its too bulky. Itll probably end up smooth like Anytimes but only be bottom half like a rebreather.

After sculpting the armor on the body to a level far better than what I had done on the head I went back and tore off the work I did on the rebreather for my predator. This is the new final sculpt.

Hiya there just a question for you customisers, if anyone repainting the masked City Hunter, are you completely taking him apart? I did but due to the leg articulation I broke one right at the top :-( .Was going to do a total overhaul but not really seen many repaints of it, thanx

Hey there all. This is my first day being a part of this community. Any advice to a n00b like myself is greatly appreciated. I've been customizing Predators for about a month now and I'm going to post my first 4 works. First off is the Neca 7in Masked City Hunter. Really simple changes on this one (gotta admit I was a little scared to change a toy since this was my first custom) I added a second wristblade forearm and then too a metal rod from a halo statue and cut a hole in the battery pack on p2 here and stuck the rod in. then drilled a hole in the skull and attached it to the post. The skull is interchangeable and the post can come out entirely. Then i drilled a hole in the collapsed spear and a hole in the back and used a smaller section of the same rod and plugged it in, as to store it on his back. Then I gave him wolfs mine belt. the end. Very simple...but it got my customizing train rolling.

Alright and heres my second custom...Bad Blood from the comic of the same name. I used an unmasked city hunter 7 in and painted the tattoo to the forehead and chest. Then I removed all of the bones from McFarlane's Spawn the Immortal and attached them to the body. Alot of dremmeling and hollowing out there. The Skull helmet from Spawn I used as the right shoulder instead of the spine, as my own personal touch. As for the sword, I took the little connector port in the middle of shamans spear and stuck Falconers blade in. It was a perfect fit. I cut the blade down to an appropriate size and stuck it in the belt on the waist. I've since added the nipple rings and eyebrow piercing but hadn't yet in this pic. Again, for any of these criticism is welcome. I'm new remember? ;)

Okay. So I've done a simple custom, some dremmeling, and a TINY bit of paint. I'm bravin up at this point so I start my next predator. I was watching "Attack of the Clones" (unfortunately) and when they get married I saw Anakin's cyborg hand. I knew I had to have a cyborg predator. I decided to call him Rhino. So I took a Shaman Predator, and popped out the left arm. Took off the neck rags and added p1 armor. Swapped p1 plasma caster for Wolf's. Then took the shoulder pad from the removed arm and broke off the second flap. Filed off the dangley bits on shamans right arm and glued the pad to the arm to make a gauntlet. Took Wolf's toe spikes and added them to the fist. Cyborg now has a battle glove. I then cut off ALLLLL of Shaman's face and hollowed out Wolf's mask. Took the two wrist blades from the top of his spear, shortened them and added them to the helm. (hence the name Rhino) Repainted ALL the armor black, then dry brushed silver. Ahh...my first full armor repaint. I'm just waiting on my T-800 endoskeleton arm to come in the mail and BOOM he's done. The red and black wire will connect to the upper arm and forearm, as though they powered the arm.

So I repainted an armor. That wasn't so bad...but it's also not that noteworthy. I needed a full body repaint. So I set out on my next custom...Recon. Recon is a very young predator, and NOT much of a fighter. He is, however, one of the greatest scouts the Yautja have ever known. So he has earned his way into some VERY distinguished hunts. He is very light, and very agile.  His only job is to sneak ahead, scan the prey, and return unseen to the rest of the hunting party to report his findings. I used a half cloaked berserker body and a p1 head. I cut the upper arms and the backs of the knees to allow added articulation. I added shamans neck rags to the upper body. The skirt is made by taking Wolf's skirt and gluing it overtop of berserkers then painting the whole thing black. Then I added a dagger from an Aragorn figure to the back. The belt didn't reach all the way around so i decided to make it bulge on one side; a place to store his pistol, and then loop under the skirt, where it is glued in. Also added two of Wolf's closed discs. The shamans original fist could not hold the weapons so i popped it off and removed the peg in the arm. Then took wolfs right fist and cut it down to fit. Plugged it in and it fit perfect, has PERFECT articulation in the wrist. Then painted it. The long dread on the side of his head (like a padawan braid because I wanted him to feel young) was taken from Wolf, because its a softer material, and glued onto the head. The armor was painted gun metal black. For the paint I took inspiration from Kenner's Clan Leader. The body started as Earth Red for the base skin tone, then I mixed that with Insignia Red for a maroon color. Painted that on as the overtones. After that I added International Orange to the same mix for the details. Overall I'm really happy with him. I WILL let you know that the pics do not do him justice. The no flash ones look too brown, and the flash ones look too orange. But he isn't really either. Critique away, friends :)

Post by: Sloss on Mar 17, 2012, 10:54:18 PM
Here's some of mine. They're not the greatest in the world, but I'm constantly improving. I also must apologize for the glare present in most of the pics. My camera is a piece of junk.

First is my Predator fan character, S'loss. I fabricated him from a busted up Cleaner Kit Predator I got on Ebay for $50.00. I didn't do too much editing on him because Wolf has all the "Elite" armor I wanted. I did make the cape (I wanted a tattered one since he's still an active hunter) and the trophy belt. I also used some parts from the McFarlane 12" Predator. The mask and the dagger game from Nosferatoys. I painted both of them myself. Also just to point out due to it being a common question, S'loss does not need to have a visor in his helmet because he's blind due to an incident that involved Xenomorph blood (another reason Wolf made a good base). I've devised a way the bio mask allows him to see like a Xenomorph in the fan fiction series he's in. I wanted to add some more accessories from the original Wolf Predator figure, but those are somewhat expensive, so I just settled with what I already had. I doubt I'd pose him with any different weapons anyhow. I do wish I could add a second plasma caster as he usually uses two, but those too are overpriced. Plus I have the pistol that came with him, I just prefer the sword and a second plasma caster would prolly mean redoing the cape anyhow. I actually do have all the Cleaner Kit's parts other than one hand which the seller didn't include. The spear was broken, so it went to the for customs bin. The Cleaner Kit itself got in the way of the cape, so I don't keep it on him as it makes the cape look weird. I figure I'll use those extra parts for a future custom or something.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi891.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fac117%2FMr_Black67%2FCustom%2520Figures%2520and%2520Model%2520Kits%2FNightViperPredator-1.png&hash=322c2dcf946b7902e2adfd4a7c0cf27b88380ea6)

Next is Zaf'el. She is a Yautja/Human hybrid and is S'loss' daughter. I know some people find hybrids hard to like, but I like to mix things up a little in my fan fiction and what with all the Scar x Lex stuff (I'll always prefer Machiko and Dachande myself) I've seen, I decided to do an original pairing between and human and Predator of my own. Most hybrids I've seen look more human which there's nothing wrong with that, but I wanted more Yautja traits than just a skin patter, so I added some mandibles. This figure was also a disaster to work on. I don't know how many times I had to reassemble here when things went wrong. The worst part was when I removed the head to add the neck wrap. I accidently pulled out the ball joint and it took some time to loosen up the plastic enough to get it back on. If you're wondering why she's wearing combat boots, she joined her uncle (who was a UNSC mercenary for s short amount of time). And I really mean UNSC as in Halo. Some friends and I have been working on a crossover between AVP and Halo for some time now.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi891.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fac117%2FMr_Black67%2FCustom%2520Figures%2520and%2520Model%2520Kits%2FZafel.png&hash=533b848f46f5523cdf3378870a9aeff7776bd972)

I'm thinking of doing some more work on this one (especially his skin), but I figured I might as well post him now. Because AVP: Prey is my favorite AVP story, I had to make a figure of Dachande even if it had to be made from Kenner figures.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi891.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fac117%2FMr_Black67%2FCustom%2520Figures%2520and%2520Model%2520Kits%2FDachandeFigure.png&hash=c34fd4d779eeb4668356889403b3103cfc0569b4)

This next one was one of my first customs. I found some of the old Kenner Xenomorphs amusing albeit some were plain weird, but they did inspire me to make a hybrid of mine own- a Dragon Alien. I made it from several McFarlane figures namely the Dog Alien and a Dragon. I had some regrets about the coloration I chose, but meh, something as big as it wouldn't be able to use camouflage well anyhow.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi891.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fac117%2FMr_Black67%2FCustom%2520Figures%2520and%2520Model%2520Kits%2FDragonAlien.jpg&hash=4c57920314ada61680d6cbbccf94ba38fcdb06a8)

Because we have crossed Halo over with AVP, it's only natural we came up with some ideas for Xenomorphs born from Covenant (former and current) species not that it hasn't been done already. One of my favorites was the Sangalien which is a Xenomorph born from an Elite host. This figure was made from the Neca Classic Alien, the McFarlane Resurrection Alien and the tail of the Dog Alien because I'd already used the tail of the Res Alien for the Dragon Alien. I used the jawbones from a plastic animal skull for the upper mandibles and simply split the lower jaws of the Classic Alien's head for the lower ones.

Lastly some repaints of some Hasbro and Kenner figures. (Hot glue makes excellent Xeno drool)

Here's a few more.

A repaint of the Kenner Scorpion Alien which I painted like the Red Xenomorphs from Aliens: Genocide.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi891.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fac117%2FMr_Black67%2FCustom%2520Figures%2520and%2520Model%2520Kits%2FRedWarriorAlien.png&hash=2825f072f7db652dcd9d95d2cbbe89081bc1f1e0)

A random Bad Blood Predator I made from using some leftover scraps from some Neca and McFarlane Predators.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi891.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fac117%2FMr_Black67%2FCustom%2520Figures%2520and%2520Model%2520Kits%2FBadBloodPredator-1.jpg&hash=5ec4e21f9fac68614151efaf2cd7380016d0493d)

A female Predator model kit. She was one of my first works, so she's kinda crumby. I've been thinking about doing some repainting to her, but then I have some people who tell me she looks good as is. Not sure what to do. I am thinking I'm at least going to add some gloss varnish to make her skin look more realistic.

I also have a Flood-infected Predator but I'm currently reworking the tentacles on the Flood Infection Form as I found a way to make them look more realistic. This is what it currently looks like, but I'll post an updated pic once I finish reworking it.

Ok, gotta replacement Elder from NECA (broken arm) and the replacement had a broken mandible ear ring.  So I decided to try my hand at some painting.  I used some Tamiya acrylics & Testors acrylics.  Extreme hobbyist & novice. 

So, the original paint job is on the LEFT and the one I did is on the RIGHT, enjoy:

Hi there.
Finally it is complete.
My custom Hate Predator figure.
Sorry for the bad photos- I only have to my disposal my cellphone to take pictutres with.
Making this was something totally new to me. It was enjoyable, fun, and fricking irritating sometimes. But I am quite pleased with the end result.
My goal from the start was not to be a 100% true to my OC...maybe this is Hate when he was a bit Younger.
Like the title says it is 99% complete- I will post more pictures when it will be 100%, with all the accesories and such.

These are custom projects I have on the go at the minute looking to expand my customs and do actual custom paintjobs on them eventually but working on other figures until I get good enough to touch my preds!  :laugh:

Looking to buy figures from the mc farlane and Neca range please email me at kirkieball@gmail.com if you have any and would like to sell!

Ultimately I decided on python colors, since green predators are rare, and itll be nice to see him with all the other lost preds especially since borg is the only other green one. I still need to paint the netting and repaint the dreds.

I think so.

Shaman predator also doesnt have net on his legs (and just a little bit of the chest)

I asked Randy about this on twitter.
He said the figures are this way because all of them shares the same body.

Well if that was the case, did they give a reason for why they even coloured the unnecessary netting? And i've just noticed that Shaman has a seathed sword. Pretty cool, but shouldn't that've been added as well?

About the sword, he doesnt have it in the movie (just in that pic). Borg is the one who has the sword in the movie, and NECA give it to him:

NECA Elder and Boar after body swap and repaint.  The color schemes aren't film-accurate, just my own custom thing.  (Sorry, the glare hides the pattern on Elder's head.) For Boar, I went with a warm brown after seeing NECA's "brown gremlin" figure, and I used green for the cloth over his chest and groin to give him jungle camouflage vibe.  Again, not film-accurate, but I think he looks neat this way.

Frost Predator gi joe scale
Hi there.
I wanted to upload this long time ago.
I always wanted to have a Predator in scale of Gi joe.
So I made myself one :)
Hope You gonna like this custom.
Paint/skin colors are due to original light blue colors of the base figure. Where the joints are the paint will always worn off.
So I painted him grey and added blue elements-looked better without the armor heh.

Been awhile since I've been on here and since then I've got some better pics of my older customs as well as made quite a few others. I namely do work on the 7-inch NECA and McFarlane figures, but I have modified a few larger and smaller scale figures on occassion.

I'll start out with some of my fav original Predator figures from my fan fiction. I have nearly 30 customs, so I doubt I can fit them all in one post.

Since I'm not talented or patient enough to repaint my own NECA figures, I decided to buy a solo burnt Engineer and swap heads. When I got the Prometheus 2-pack, I found the burn on his body wasn't distracting enough to warrant me not doing the switch. Even though it isn't 100% movie-accurate it is still closer to how the Engineer appears on film.

I did the same to my two unmasked City Hunters. I think they both look much better and more movie-accurate. I may get some paint and add a little blood to the City Hunter with the respiratory mask just because I'm all about the accuracy. ;)

I changed the plasma caster and added some trophies to him.
I'm thinking about putting the head on a Big Red body and painting the helmet/plasma caster accordingly. Anyone think this would be a good idea? I like the idea of creating my own clan, where most of the preds look like they come from the same blood line, but the Warrior figures are hard to come by. My local TRU has a few big reds they just put on the shelves.

Just done a couple of things to my snake predator.added fur to his shoulder and added a few more sculls across his crest.
Also closed his mandibles.
Shot before and after.

Going to try and add some more fur around his waist if I can get it right.

Here are some pictures of my Wolf repaint,I used the stealth Wolf for this and sprayed him with grey primer.
I have finished his head and dreds and now need to start painting his skin/armor and weapons.

I don't trust NECA to release a Drake or Vasquez any time soon, so I bought a second Dutch and started work on turning him into a smart-gunner. I need to mold the chest plate and customize a 7" scale MG42 into an M56. This is where I'm at so far.
The straps on his chest are where the armor will attach.

I "sculpted" and casted 3 chest plates over this week. None of them are terribly film accurate and just the basic shape. I'm not sure which of the three I want to use permanently though. They look "textured" because paint mixed with the glossy surface of the resin

Here is my custom "Melting Fifield" figure.

I had the idea to squeeze another human figure out of David 8 and began planning how to do it. This is my first attempt at customizing a figure, but I got down to it, bought my supplies and went to work. So, in case you're wondering: mini-blowtorch + sharp points + black acrylic paint = Fifield in one of the best scenes in the movie. Enjoy! Try it yourself.

Do it. It's fun. If I'm really feeling determined, I may make my own "Infected Holloway" out of David as well. Time will tell on that one.

I love how NECA can still get it's fans to buy their unpopular human figures and use them as "victims."  :D

I've already got a Chell female Marine, a Perseus Marine, A Reese Marine.

And I'm working on a Arnie body/Chuck Liddell head heavy gunner Marine, a Lyoto Machida Marine, and a Jonah Hex Marine (for that acid scarred effect).

I'm also really looking forward to them releasing an African American Marine so I can customize one with a Clubber Lang head.

And I'm considering making a Ivan Drago Marine...but not sure on that one.

The helmets come from McFarlanes exclusive version of Hicks. I'm hunting down as many cheap ones as I can, but they're becoming rather scarce or cost upwards of $50 so I may start trying to mold some helmets.

The Ash marine is an easy head and arm swap from Hudson and some easy paint apps.
Chell is an upper body swap with Hicks plus some armor chopping to make the armor suit her shorter stature.
The Arnie smart gunner has the most work done to it. The (poorly molded) chest armor is made from scratch, the smart gun is made from a dusty trail MG42, a Diamond Select AA12 and some bits from Halo weapons. His legs where replaced at the knee with Mcfarlane Hicks leg armor, repainted and his head set is made from the scope of a Halo sniper rifle and Mcfarlanes Hicks radio.

I used Hicks's left arm and replaced it at the bicep. The rolled up part of the sleeves is a separate piece that's removable.

I'm staying clear of Reese because I'll have two Hicks's once the two pack is released. The Jonah Hex is a good idea though so I might give that a try. I plan on just repainting some arms for my Terry Crews/Apone custom.

God damn, I had that same questions for months, but I finally discovered that if you use Aqua Fish Filter Flooring or something like that, it gives off a perfect resemblance of grated floors, I used them and they look great, NECA used them on their booth display as well!

Does anyone happen to have a HML Elektra? I'm looking to use this as a base for a Machiko custom...well, probably not Machiko, but in that same vein.

I think this is the correct thread for this.  I am a geek when it comes to extraterrestrial-related stuff, and I love my car because it has a Men in Black style.  (I didn't care much for the two sequels, but the first film was a very decent comedy with a lot of elaborate gimmicks.  Look up the Maury Island incident and stuff about the Mothman incidents as far as classic MiB-related stuff goes.  I was actually born in the small town in Pennsylvania where a lot of the Mothman movie was filmed, as a coincidence.  That is one reason I use the name 'Indrid Cold' a lot online.)

Anyhow; I love my car except for the trunk emblem.  The model is a Kia Amanti (Opirus in South Korea).  I sometimes call it my 'Gangnam Style Cadillac'.  The newer Kia logos look much nicer and I thought about replacing the emblem with one of them.  But I decided to look online for a service that does custom emblems, and to do something more creative.  So I had a custom emblem made; a subtle custom detail that not many people would notice or 'get'.  I've been an AvP fan since the comics were released when I was about 12 or 13 years old.  They actually machined two because it was a small emblem, so I will have a backup  They are in the mail:

So this is First Lieutenant Nigel Roland. This is a custom colonial marine I've been working on. Roland is a no bullshit marine, he comes with a combat shotgun, handgun side arm, knife, and a mean reputation. I also made some tech for him as well. That thing you see in the last picture is sort of an alternate motion tracker.

This figure is an amalgamation of pieces from NECA's Dutch, David 8, Hitman, and the cult classics Ash head sculpt. If anyone owns that Hitman figure it has an abundance of weapons and pieces to use. I also cut and and reshaped Hick's armor, and added graffiti. Hope you like. I'll do another custom marine once the helmeted version come out.

That custom turned out really good. My only problem with these is that whenever I see them, I just see the character/actor. Like I'd always look at this one and see "Ash" or "Bruce" and not "Generic Marine #254". It's like we need generic headsculpts. I wonder - are there any military 1/12 scale lines that could be cannibalized for parts?

And by parts, I mean heads.  ;)

You could try the old "McFarlanes Military" lines. They're heads will probably require more modification than other Neca figures though. The McF ones have fixed necks.

I know what you mean. I have the same issue too. My original plan was to a repaint a David 8 head and use it. I just found Ash's worked a bit better. I painted over his scars and gave him some grey hair in his sideburns to try and distance him from Ash. Oh well, it's good for now.  ;D

 Thank you!I used spray foam that's used to seal door jams and other spaces. also i used hot glue and draining tubes. The garage door looking thing in the back was from the side of an old air conditioner. some of the eggs i made using a mold i made out of play-doh the other eggs are from the McFarland alien and predator pack. it has two stories but its hard to get a pic of the whole thing because i made it with the intentions of having my alien queen sit on an egg sack so it is very large.

Some stuff I worked on today on my day off. I still have some marines to finish, but these guys are all mostly done. I have a bunch of eggs and some victims I'm working on so I have to start work on my egg chamber set soon. I also need to finish my answer to "Big Red" who's standing in the black with the shield and black helmet.

Jin Saotome here, hey everyone! I've gotten into the Alien/Predator figure customizing, specifically the 7" NECA versions, and went looking for some AvP Forums. Found the best here I believe and have spent a good chuck of today checking it out. I also want to share with you all what I've been working on...customs from the Alien vs Predator Arcade game by capcom! Hope you get a kick out of them.

Aliens have invaded earth and it's up to an unlikely alliance of humans and Predators to take them down! That was the premise of the Alien vs Predator Arcade game by Capcom. Here we have Major Dutch Schaefer created in the 7" NECA style made from their Predator Jungle Dutch, a Microman Bio-machine hand, TF Landmine winch, Armored Core arm, Halo George shoulder pad, and other fodder parts. There's multiple double ball joints all through his arm for maximum posability as well. I'll be doing a whole Line-up of Alien vs Predator Arcade figures soon!

Aliens have invaded earth and it's up to an unlikely alliance of humans and Predators to take them down! That was the premise of the Alien vs Predator Arcade game by Capcom. Here we have the first Alien boss in the game, Razor Claw. He was made from the NECA Aliens series 1 Xenomorph Warrior and Aves Studio's Apoxie Sculpt was used to sculpt the unique parts like the dome and arms. Predator Hound horns were used as the back spikes and Razor Claw was given a four-shade purple-pink paint job so as to look just like the game sprite.

Hi Jin, i am the one bidding your Dutch at eBay currently, just wanna know, you just build only one of each these figures respectively? Cos the price of this already rise to a hundred and I am living in Hong kong, don't think I can manage to tackle this anymore if the price rises even higher. Would you decide to make another if this one sell well?
Anyway, welcome to the best AVP site online. Lots of experts here solving our problem about the AVP universes

As long as I can find Marines/Xenomorph warriors for the base bodies, sure. That Alien Space Jockey hybrid looks pretty creepy.

Hi Jin, i am the one bidding your Dutch at eBay currently, just wanna know, you just build only one of each these figures respectively? Cos the price of this already rise to a hundred and I am living in Hong kong, don't think I can manage to tackle this anymore if the price rises even higher. Would you decide to make another if this one sell well?
Anyway, welcome to the best AVP site online. Lots of experts here solving our problem about the AVP universes
Unfortunately yeah, all my customs are one of a kind. I don't want to mass-produce anything, I just make them for fun. Part of the draw of owning one of my figures is that nobody else in the world has one like it.

Here's a quick peek at my next custom Alien Vs Predator Arcade figure, the Hunter. His body is netless and hunched over just like in the game. Spear was made from scratch, Predator parts from an NECA Predator and main body from a UFC figure. Normally I would have used the whole NECA Predator but he needed the muscle-style of the sprite and the UFC body matched up perfectly.

Jin Saotome here, hey everyone! I've gotten into the Alien/Predator figure customizing, specifically the 7" NECA versions, and went looking for some AvP Forums. Found the best here I believe and have spent a good chuck of today checking it out. I also want to share with you all what I've been working on...customs from the Alien vs Predator Arcade game by capcom! Hope you get a kick out of them.

Aliens have invaded earth and it's up to an unlikely alliance of humans and Predators to take them down! That was the premise of the Alien vs Predator Arcade game by Capcom. Here we have Major Dutch Schaefer created in the 7" NECA style made from their Predator Jungle Dutch, a Microman Bio-machine hand, TF Landmine winch, Armored Core arm, Halo George shoulder pad, and other fodder parts. There's multiple double ball joints all through his arm for maximum posability as well. I'll be doing a whole Line-up of Alien vs Predator Arcade figures soon!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Aliens have invaded earth and it's up to an unlikely alliance of humans and Predators to take them down! That was the premise of the Alien vs Predator Arcade game by Capcom. Here we have the first Alien boss in the game, Razor Claw. He was made from the NECA Aliens series 1 Xenomorph Warrior and Aves Studio's Apoxie Sculpt was used to sculpt the unique parts like the dome and arms. Predator Hound horns were used as the back spikes and Razor Claw was given a four-shade purple-pink paint job so as to look just like the game sprite.

Here is another Custom Predator Hunter from Capom's Alien Vs Predator Arcade game. Created in the 7" NECA style the Predator Hunter was made using a UFC body to get the muscled, netless look of the game sprite, head, forarms, lower legs, and armor from NECA's jungle hunter Predator. The joint holes and inner hinges had to be modded to fit the two body types together which can now hunch over just like the Predators appear on the game screen! His blade staff was made from fodder weapons and styrene cut to form blades. Now he can stand alongside Dutch and Lynn to help rid Earth of the Alien menace!

Holyshit. I loved that arcade game, so seeing those predators was a really awesome reminder about that game. :)

Here's my latest piece of work. I don't really have any high quality materials to work with, but I hope people can recognize the predator (And perhaps the mask most importantly!)

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi166.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu99%2FSN_Cyrith%2FIMG_2161.jpg&hash=ee64a56eb304b6f0c7453ad10130c78a196e2aa1)

The mask should be a bronze/gold colour, but I don't have that in my possession as of yet!
Mostly recycled the McFarlane AVP Scar body armor parts with the exception for the legs still being city hunter and the jungle hunter skull necklaces. It's not finished yet, but if anyone has any feedback before I finish it, please let me know! :D

As it's becoming clearer that we may not be getting all the marines we wanted...but also we are getting a great base marine figure with the Tribute marine figure...

Do people here, who have way more knowledge then me, want to try to come up with NECA or compatible heads (or other parts) that would be reasonable replacements for the Colonial Marines.

A user here posted a GREAT Apone custom, which I already ordered a Hale Ceaser figure in anticipation of trying to emulate.

Any other thoughts?

The other Stallone and Ludgren figures from the expendables line would work well, and with no modification needed to the neck.

Aside from those I would stick with figures from NECA, especially ones from the hunger games line. They make great "generic" grunts. Neca human figures for the most part have the same basic ball joints just varying in size, so swapping them is easy. A few pages back I posted up my WIP squad, all of those except one (The Apone you mentioned) are Neca.

Sweet! I checked out the Hunger Games lines, I really like the Cato head!

Has anyone tried warhammer decals for marine armor?

I used to paint warhammer minis and the decals could look really cool on the marine armor, maybe an easier route of covering up that Skull from the hudson armor. Just use some decal solution and bam! new armor!

And here's my very bad, mini Prometheus themed diorama and figures i did :P

basically it's:

the carlos huante design for the trilobite.
The first Steven Messing design for the Deacon, wich was white. (with a few details left to finish... mainly THE HANDS) It's on a small cardboard stand btw.
..and a REALLY NOT CLOSE TO THE FILM AT ALL diorama of the inside of the pyramid with the Steven Messing mural of the deacon. :P

Size comparison with my fingers and an old micro machines soldier. ;)

The up close photos really reveal all the lack of detail of the mini figures.  :laugh: There's some "texturing" on the mural for it to look closer to the one in the film.. but it still needs some work.

These were done with paper + a special modeling UHU glue + some extra paint work here and there. :P I actually used concept art images in the sculpts to give it a look and texture closer to the actual designs. I used some old broken micro machines toys i found in my attic on the diorama.. (including a broken borg cube).

...and these are my first sculpts since i did entire shoals of sharks with plasticine as a small kid. :laugh: So i've got a lot to improve on :P argh.

eh.. they could be worse.

Straight from Capcom's Alien vs Predator Arcade game comes this custom Lt. Linn Kurosawa action figure created in 7" NECA Aliens format! She features an articulated pony tail, pistol, and katana, both weapons able to be stored in their holster/sheath. Linn Kurosawa was made from a NECA Dwayne Hicks body, High Dream Chun Li head, revoltech Kenshin hair, hand sculpted breastplate using Aves Studio's Apoxie Sculpt, Mark 42 Iron Man lower legs, Play Arts Cloud Strife shoulder pad, SOTA Ibuki bangs, and ML movie Nick Fury hands. A lot of sanding, carving, and dremelling had to be done to her midsection and various fodder parts were used for her belt and other details. Now Linn can join with Dutch Schaefer and the Hunter Predator customs I've created and fight the Alien infestation!

I got a challange to anyone that is interested, ignore me otherwise. but.

sence Prometheus, I never liked that the Awesome Elephant-man SPacejockey was just an oversized human in a biomech suit. I prefered if it was an entirely diffrent beast intirely. so if anyone has a spare Engineer Chair Suit action figure, I like to see it repainted and MAYBE modded to look like a biomechanoid elephant man/beast. I'd like to see it with greyish brown pigmented skin, and where the mouth is maybe sculpted lips or even teeth (in the original alien the spacejockey obviously had a mouth you can even see teeth in it). the eyes are optional. but maybe squid like eyes.

As I said, I wasn't to thrilled that the Famed Spacejock was just an oversized bald guy in a suit. and frankly its kind of stupid to waist such a cool design that way, atleast in my opinion.

Anyways the challange is here if anyone is interested.

This was the stronger more seasoned Predator in the game and features a similar build to my Alien Vs Predator Hunter custom using the Deluxe Impact Wrestling Magnus body and NECA Classic Predator Jungle Hunter head, forearms, and lower legs. I gave the Warrior his signature melee weapon, the bone spear, a plasma caster energy blast, and an Alien Chestburster done like its sprite in the game. Now the playable cast of AvPA is complete with Dutch, Linn, Hunter, and Warrior!

What should have been a Predator's vacation getaway to torment some humans at New Shanghai on Vega 4 has turned into a nightmare hunt! The Super Nintendo Alien vs Predator game featured some pretty strange plot but introduced us to some cool looking Alien concepts. Here is my take on the Snake Alien boss from that game created using a NECA Xenomorph Warrior upper body fused to a McFarlane Queen Alien tail section.

Title: Kenner Scorpion Alien, AvP Arcade Mad Predator
Post by: Jin Saotome on Oct 08, 2013, 08:45:11 PM
Watch out it's a blast from the past, those different species of Aliens Kenner came up with are back! Here's a custom Scorpion Alien done in a Kenner-themed look using a NECA Prometheus pressure suit Engineer body with the head, lower arms, feet, shoulder/back tubes, spine, and tail of a NECA Xeno Warrior grafted on. The ridged head crest was created using Aves Apoxie Sculpt and additional sculpt was also added to blend the parts together. The Engineer's sculpt is so close to the Alien design it allows for a beefier, taller body style. Spikes were added to the body and since the Trilobite 2-pack Engineer body was used I turned the burns into battle-damage, homage to the 'exploding' feature the original Kenner toy had. The acid spurts were made from high-temp hot glue put through a low-temp glue gun and the figure was given the copper-gold highlights. Now this custom Scorpion Alien is ready to take on some Colonial Marines!

Ready for more vintage Alien goodness? My friend John Harmon is also doing Kenner themed NECA Alien customs and you really need to check out his Bull Alien and Apone based on the original toys at his site, http://www.mintconditioncustom.com/ (http://www.mintconditioncustom.com/)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ready for more Alien vs Predator Arcade action? Here's a custom Mad Predator figure ready to dish out some, uh, madness! In the game a Predator warrior was 'infected' with an Alien embryo and driven mad so he attacked your characters. Here I've recreated him using the standard beefed up Deluxe Impact Wrestling body jointed with parts from NECA's Predator figure line. The head came from a Shaman predator with with mouth parts and dreads modded, the rest from any of the Jungle Hunter Predator figures grafted on to the wrestling body. Also included is a masked head (tho never shown in the game) I wanted to give him something extra since he didn't use any weapons or special moves. Mad Predator was given a light blue/grey paint job just like the game sprite and is ready to take out anything in his path!

Neca's said if the Alien series sells well then a few Kenner aliens would be a possibility. Probably ones most like the regular xenomorph they've already produced though

Hi everyone! My good friend Jin Saotome told me this would be a great place to show off my Aliens customs, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Remember the old 90's Kenner Aliens toy line? It's always been one of my favorites. I still have just about every figure from that line, as a matter of fact. Recently I was hit with inspiration to recreate several of the old Kenner figures, but in a modern, more realistic, NECA style. After looking at Sgt. Apone, all the parts immediately came to me and I knew I had to do it. Sgt. Apone here is "frankensteining" at its best. He's made from the body of a NECA Jungle Patrol Dutch, the head and arms of an Expendables 2 Hale Caesar, and the lower legs of a NECA Half Life 2 Gordon Freeman. His web gear was taken from a NECA Hicks figure, and made to fit in a similar style as the original Sgt. Apone figure. The bio-mechanical arm is pieced together from terminator bits and random pieces of fodder. I gave him a repainted rifle from an Alien Resurrection Ripley, and I completely remade the original figures' grenades to give to my custom, so he stays within the same vision as the original. I also included a repainted Kenner facehugger accessory. It's the perfect size for NECA scaled figures! After a paint job using the old figure as my guide, Sgt. Apone is ready for some bug stomping action!

To go with Sgt. Apone, I decided to tackle one of the classic xenomorphs from the Kenner line. The Bull Alien was always one of my top favorites from that line, so I knew I had to start with him. It's mostly a NECA Xenomorph, but heavily modified. I had to completely rework the back legs, cutting a lot off, dremeling, and reshaping in order to get them in the same pose and look as the hind legs of the original Bull Alien figure. The front and back feet, horns, and a couple of other pieces actually come from the original Bull Alien figure, I just made them fit and blend in with the NECA figure. The scorpion barb on the end of his tail comes from a Spider-Man Classics Mac Gargan Venom figure. I hand sculpted onto the forehead to make it bigger, and I also recreated the original Bull Alien figure's "skull ramming" action feature by making an extra neck piece you can attach the figure to give it the same extended look. Then I completely repainted the figure, using the original Kenner Bull Alien as my guide. Then I dry brushed some gloss clear coat over the entire thing to give it that gross, wet look the xenomorphs always have. And now the Bull Alien is ready to ram down some Colonial Marines!

Title: Custom SNES Bat Alien boss figure
Post by: Jin Saotome on Oct 28, 2013, 04:59:31 AM
Here is my take on a custom Bat Alien figure boss from the Super Nintendo Alien vs Predator game straight off the screen to your desk! The base body is the excellent Aliens Xenomorph Warrior by NECA, Marvel Legends Annihilus wings, Kenner Flying Alien Queen feet, and custom sculpted head dome using Aves Apoxie Sculpt. The dome has a nifty airbrushed gradient that changes from brown to metallic purple. This custom Bat Alien figure has fully articulated wings and can hang upside down using its talons. A flight stand was added so the Bat Alien could hover above his prey and attack from above.

To see lots more of this custom, visit ---> http://www.mintconditioncustom.com/custom-aliens-chestburster-mutant/ (http://www.mintconditioncustom.com/custom-aliens-chestburster-mutant/)

Remember the Aliens Arcade Game from 1990? It throws all kinds of crazy things your way, including this guy, the Chestburster Mutant. A human mutant/zombie thing that had the hatchling come out of its back and attack you. Crazy stuff. My goal was to pay homage to the game sprite, but also make it a bit more realistic looking. I took the upper body of a NECA Left 4 Dead Smoker, and the lower body of a NECA Predator Dutch. The giant back growth is an alien egg accessory from an Alien Resurrection Ripley figure, and the chestburster is from an Alien Resurrection Call figure. The egg was attached to the figure, and I cut up the shirt on the Smoker figure to fit over the egg and to look tattered. I sculpted on the head and arms to give him more growths and boils. The chestburster was repainted and can fit in the egg and be removed. It also has a bendable wire installed in it so it can bend forward inside the egg to appear as if it's lunging at its victim. Then I painted the figure, using dry brushing to bring out the sculpt and trying to bring in elements from the game sprite, with lots of blood spatters randomly all over him. Then I just added some glossy clear coat for that wet, gross look and now the Chestburster Mutant is ready to take down anything in his way! Check my site for the "back story" I wrote to explain how the chestburster mutants come to be.

Use a hairdryer on high next time, won't warp the plastic and softens it faster than boiling water

Title: Custom Minotaur Predator "Predataur"
Post by: Jin Saotome on Nov 19, 2013, 09:06:14 PM

You've seen different species of Aliens before but what about the Predators? Here I've taken a leap into different Predator types rather than castes starting with the "Predataur". This Minotaur Predator was created using a Beserker head, regular Predator netted body, McFarlane Grunt Storm arms and feet, and Gears of War Locust armor. Horns from the Predator hound were added and some LotR orc armor as well. I give him a paint scheme similar to Nightstorm Predator so he could have a hunting buddy. Now the Predataur is ready to crash a china shop!

Here are some custom resin helmets I made for my USCM.
Sculpt is out of wax on a Neca spare T800 head, then molded in gelatin and cast in dental resin + metal parts (for the microphone boomer). I did those at work (I'm a dental technician).

They're not exactly screen accurate of course, and I didn't feel like I could reproduce the camo so I painted them OD green + slight brown dry brush, but I think they still do the job :).

Wow, that's a good bunch ! Thumbs up !
Apone is my favorite, the face is really accurate, and with the cigar it's really awesome ! Great work on those smart gunners too.

Talking of these, I think you should create the articulated "steady-cam" robotic arm in metal wire coated with a soft material (like rubber ?).
Thanks to the metal wire you should bend the "arm" at high angles and at the same time hold it in a straight position, so you can change the figures' display, and the rubber coating would simulate the width of the arm structure no matter the position.

I might give that a shot, if I can come up with the materials to do it. I'm focusing more on finishing the miniature egg/hive room right now.

I know it had mixed reactions, but I love the 2010 Aliens Vs. Predator video game. One of my favorite characters in the game was Corporal Teresa "Tequila" Aquila. She was smart, strong, and wasn't afraid to tackle with some xenos. I love the character, and I love the idea of expanding the ranks, so I just had to customize her. Tequila is made using the upper body (and upper legs) from a NECA Portal 2 Chell figure, with the lower legs, armor, and pulse rifle from a NECA Aliens Corporal Hicks. I pored over several screenshots of the Tequila character from the Aliens Vs. Predator video game to make sure I got this custom down as accurately as possible. She had several personal details on her armor in the game, as well as tattoos, that I replicated here. I weathered the armor and decals to look realistic, and painted her pants to look like what a Colonial Marine would wear. I had to so some tailoring on the armor to get it to fit right, and then I added some straps, gave her a shoulder lamp and pulse rifle, and now Corporal Tequila is ready to go bug stomping!

It's filtered flooring for fish tanks. I'm in the US and I got mine at the (second) Pet's Mart I went to. You should be able to find it in the fish tank/filter section of a pet shop.

Thank very much for the feedback! My friend that I'm making these with is also building a helicopter that is scale with the Dutch's Team. When we're done with both, I'll post some more pics. I know what you mean, I've posted my fair share of USCM troops! ;)

I'm not blaming you, I already posted my USCM a few times here ;).

Waiting for the new pics. And if the building of the Huey is too difficult, you should consider buying an empty RC chopper hull, UH-1 is not a rare model, it's not that expensive since there's no electronics / motor, and it would look just great.

Continuing from where I left off with my updated Kenner Sgt. Apone custom, I wanted to tackle the Colonial Marine Drake next. I still have a soft spot for the old Kenner Aliens toy line, which is why I'm having such a blast updating the designs. Drake was made with a NECA Predator Dutch for the body, the head and hands from a Diamond Select Expendables 2 Gunnar Jensen, and lots of fodder. I gave the head a headband and sculpted some hair falling over it, and used some McFarlane Techno Spawn parts for the headset. The bullet straps come from a McFarlane Al Simmons with some pieces of fodder attached. The real star of this custom though, is the Smart Gun. I wanted it to be inspired by the Kenner Smart Gun accessory, but also put in some personal touches to make it look even more intimidating. This thing is made from so many different pieces, I can't even remember them all. I just dug through my fodder bins and got pieces that I thought would fit to make a giant gun. It also has an articulated stabilizing arm (just like in the movie) that attaches to his bandolier strap. One Kenner accurate paint job later, and now Drake is ready stomp some bugs!

Hey everyone, if you want your own Alien Queen head, come on down to http://goldenarmor.com/queen (http://goldenarmor.com/queen) and buy yourself a kit. It will be the piece everyone will talk about for years. Plus it will be a great piece to bring to cons and other functions.

Here is my custom "Melting Fifield" figure.

I had the idea to squeeze another human figure out of David 8 and began planning how to do it. This is my first attempt at customizing a figure, but I got down to it, bought my supplies and went to work. So, in case you're wondering: mini-blowtorch + sharp points + black acrylic paint = Fifield in one of the best scenes in the movie. Enjoy! Try it yourself.

Totally forgot I asked that..Thanx mate.Can't seem to get that exact filter here in England but I got the exact ones from the Neca queen dio.Something about them being an outdated filter for fish so they don't stock them anymore or something.

The design for Predator Armor Dutch was inspired by a mix of the old Kenner toys, and my desire to see Dutch show up again in another Predator movie. I thought it would have been cool to see Dutch hunting Predators for the U.S. government. Imagine if Schwarzennegger was in the Predators movie, but in the Laurence Fishburne role of Nolan! That would have been awesome. Predator Armor Dutch is made using a NECA Jungle Encounter Dutch, and a NECA Predator, of course. I stripped off all the armor and weapons from the Predator, and basically attached them to Dutch. I used the two pack Dutch, which was all bloodied, so I had to completely repaint him to clean him up. I had to do some major dremeling to the Predator wrist gauntlets, and to Dutch's forearms, to get them to slip on. I had to dremel some of Dutch's side to get the armor to fit right as well. I glued all the armor down, and even attached a net launcher from a NECA Predator 2 figure. So now that Dutch is utilizing all the weapons and armor of his greatest enemy, he's ready to hunt down every last Predator that makes its way to Earth!

It's a predator based on what the Minator myth came from.
I'm going to be adding a lot more details, this is still just a work in progress pic.
plus some custom skulls. Can you guess what the two on the right are?  ;D
one question I have is how to paint the netting? I get paint everywhere doing that, and I seen customizers make it look so clean.
What do you think so far?

This is not much, but I repainted the tendons of my Sideshow LSB Warrior. Their original transparency and flashy color was hurting my eyes (plus the white glue visible below).
A little "juice" of anthracite gray (in order to keep them transparent), and some wood glue to add a little texture and glossy effect. I like it better this way :).

I also painted the teeth full chrome the day I recieved it, their original color was way too flat, I didn't take a comparison picture though.

Thank you :D

I must make clear though I myself did not do the repainting of it. This is the work of Jo at www.Aerograffiti.co.uk (http://www.aerograffiti.co.uk)

My aim was to get it close to the actual warrior props used in the film, which are black with lots of differing shades of brown, I really dislike the blues and greens most insist on using for the warrior for some reason.

Your tendons now look a lot nicer now though.  :)

Thanks man, although I feel very little and amateur compared to the pro painting this guy has done for you ;).

I get your point on the color variation too, I never saw the movie props so I have to believe you, but the facts are : I never saw them brown on screen if you asked me, so this may be why most people insist on the blueish shades ;).
I'll have to watch Aliens back closely to be sure !

So instead of spending $30 for a berserker mask I decided to customize an existing mask from a previous (failed) project.

This is the mask I'll be using for my fully equipped Bad Blood figure, still needs painting obviously. I'm thinking about making the eyes a metallic red.

There are actual blue Alien costumes/props, they were actually painted in myriad colors to match the lighting of the scene. There are red, blue, green, and brown Aliens used throughout the movie.

It fits nicely with the bases and tech I'm doing for my Engineer figures, and also matches elements of the (Giger-themed) 40k Daemon army I'm working on, so it was a natural next step for me to use metallic browns on these.

So I'm starting work on a diorama. I'm buying some extra marines and Aliens for it and this is the first one I have "finished", I'm just not sure if I want to give him a helmet or not.
The diorama will be set in a sewer and will probably have 4 or 5 marines and the same amount of Aliens.

Hello everyone. I just found out about these forums. Awesome custom figures! I really enjoyed looking through these pages to see all of the creativity. I wish I was that talented! I have a toy collection of my own (though not custom) which includes some Predator figures. I have yet to get a good Alien one to match my collection. I will be definitely sharing some them in a post after this one. Anyway, I have a friend who just made a custom AVP figure. She made it for a contest. Enjoy the pictures below. If you can spare a few seconds I would love it if you can help her out and vote for her in the contest she entered. It literally takes seconds to vote. Anyway I hope you enjoy the pictures below and thank you to anyone who may Vote. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you so much for your vote! She has her own unique style when she creates these figures. Typically she makes custom figures for people that look like the requester or requester's kids. But every now and then she makes iconic figures. For this contest she was required to use a 3" bunny like base called a Dunny. She transformed the bunny into a 4.5" predator.

Hello Predheads & Facehuggers this is my 1st post after registering. I've been lurking for years and decided to register and take part in the discussions. With new films, figures and comics for both franchises it's an awesome time to be a fan! Thought my 1st post should be in the forum I enjoy the most custom figures.

The Aliens are back and they're taking over all sorts of life forms. This week I bring you a Panther Alien specially created for your 7" NECA figure collection. Panther was created from the NECA Dog aka Runner Alien body with shortened limbs and sculpted shoulders, hips, crest, and back. Hands and feet from different Aliens Resurrection Aliens were used and given joints. Panther Alien even has his little back parasite! The entire figure was airbrushed from head to toe using gold and copper highlights to mimic the look of the vintage figure while still maintaining a ton of sculptural detail. More Aliens to follow so keep an eye out!

Very nice work! How long did that take you?
Thanks! It took about four days nonstop to make, mainly all the sculpting/shortening of the limbvs. In fact the whole figure was pretty intensive, not as quick as my normal aliens using parts swapping.


The Aliens have returned and this time they're taking over, courtesy of their new king! Here I've created a NECA scaled custom Alien King action figure to terrorize your collection. It's a combination of looks from the Sideshow statue and the Kenner deluxe Alien Kings featuring the cool crest tails as well as the vintage figure colors. It was created using a NECA AvP Grid Alien base with NECA Diablo III parts. The crest blades are poseable and fold down to become pincers like the Kenner Alien King had so it can grab Colonial Marines. The entire figure was airbrushed with different shades of green, tan, and copper to really bring out the details. Standing over 10" tall this Alien King is ready to tear into anything!

Gorilla Alien was created using a Space Jockey engineer upper body, predator Hound mouth, Kenner Gorilla Alien back crest, Big Chap modded lower body, Fewture Devilman's Gelmer hands, and AVP warrior feet. Whew, that's a lot of parts. The entire figure was airbrushed from head to toe using metallic highlights to mimic the look of the vintage figure while still maintaining a ton of sculptural detail.

Well I only did the first paint layer on the body now, so a long way to go...I really want to add real beads etc...this must become perfect. The Original color was WAY off...everything is painted so dull....like they dipped the whole thing in a grey paint bucket. I do love the sculpt!

You should do Capt.Hopper and his team,skinned alive and hanging upside down with vultures plucking away at their spilled entrails!That would make a interesting diorama.

Billy has a nice likeness to the actor who portrayed him.

Which has been your quickest to do? Which has been your hardest?

Probably the Snake Alien. All it took was attaching a warrior Xeno to the Queen's tail and adding some jaws. The hardest had to be the Mantis Alien. The new joint work, sculpting, wings, etc.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aliens attack! Based on a Xeno from the doomed Aliens cartoon here's a four-armed Alien menace to take on your Colonial Marines. This Harvestman Alien was created as an egg-transporter for the queen. It was created from two standard NECA Alien Warrior xenos, hybrid alien crest, and Diablo III shoulders. Quite a bit of resculpting, trimming, and hollowing-out was needed to join the two xenos together and now we have an arachnid-centuar terror!

The Hive Wars have begun anew and the Predators have joined in the fight against the ever-expanding xenomorph threat. Here I bring you the Acid Rain Predator wearing a specialized armor resistant to the acidic blood of the aliens. A brand new design, the Acid Rain Predator was created from the new AvP NECA body with tweaks to the armor using fodder from some Halo figures. He was given an all out repaint with different greens and yellows for the acid-washed look. Even his wrist computer has green numerics!

Going off the Nam theme of the movie I made a Marine that might have been on the front lines for a while. He got rid of some armor to lighten his load, customized his kit, and obviously grooming regulations went out the window.

The Hive Wars have begun anew and the Predators have joined in the fight against the ever-expanding xenomorph threat. Here I bring you the Bloodstorm Predator ready to skin some trophies! He's created with the Neca Boar Predator, AvP gear, Spawn armor, and 4 Horseman Scarabus horns. He was given a blood-red paint job that's akin to an 'element theme' I have going with my current series of Predator customs and a wicked tri-claw blade gauntlet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's time for a trip down memory lane to the land of Kenner. Remember the cap-firing Robocop figures you had as a child? Well this time I bring you an NECA style Robocop figure that's done in the same style. It even has the cap-firing mechanism embedded in its back! This custom was made by taking a videogame Robocop and merging the upper/lower torso, hollowing out the back, and installing a cap-blasting mechanism taken from the original Kenner figure. A lot of work had to be done to carve the original unit down so that it still opened up properly and vented the smoke. The leg still opens up to reveal his classic gun but I created an oversized tri-barrel blaster and gave Robo a Kenner paint job to complete the look.

Oh, that shot of Ripley and Jones is sooo good.  It just needs a little less lighting to push the Alien into the background a little more and add some finish to the mood.

Here, hope you don't mind.  I did some color adjustment, contrast touch up and cropped it to a tighter composition.  It's such a cool image no matter what you do with it.

Well, it's a serviceable treatment of your photo for the purpose of illustrating a concept.  You had a great set up with Ripley not looking very confident in the reliability of the MT and Jones performing a much better job at detecting the Alien.  Wow.  It's just a fantastic little narrative you got happening there.  Such simple placement of the figures and yet such a powerful sense of unknown outcome.  Will Ripley turn in time to use the flame thrower once she's aware of why Jones is arching his back? ...or will the Alien take her as its next victim..?  Interpreting the next couple of seconds is where the real strength of the image lies.  This confrontation could go either way.

All I've really done is tone down the presence of the the Alien and I think I've been a little too heavy handed with the contrast.  The Alien always looks so cool when you can just discern its form in the darkness, when its surfaces are highlighted so can just pick out the shape against a black background.  The Alien is often most powerful when we see little of it.  It's one of Scott's philosophies that makes its presence in the first movie so enthralling. 

Anyway, love your work.  This was too irresistible to ignore to demonstrate how sometimes less is more.

Straight out of the Alien vs Predator Extinction video game comes the terrifying Carrier Alien and this week I've brought him to you in custom form! This custom was created from a basic NECA xenomorph, Superior Venom back tendrils, halloween skeletal bat wings on ball joints, a newly sculpted head and various armored parts from a Joyride Halo Covenant Drone. In the game Facehuggers scurry about the Carrier Alien's spines and I've included three here. One creepy yellowish-green paint job later and Carrier was ready to spread the facehugging love.

For more pics here's a link full of them: Carrier Alien custom figure (http://www.angelfire.com/mech/jinsaotome/JinsDangerousToys2/CarrierAlien.html)

So if anyone was wondering about heads for their USCM grunts I found some more to scale heads that will work with some modification.
Mcfarlanes "Color Top" series. These are made from Abraham, Daryl, and Rick from The Walking Dead part of the line.

I'm actually having trouble deciding what kind of armor art/graffiti to give them. It's a bit difficult because I don't want to go to "generic" if that makes sense.

Here's two guys I just worked on last night. Not 100% done, I want to add more pouches and some graffiti to their chest plates.

Arnold is an upper body swap with a repainted shirt.
Terry has a bit more custom work, arm transplants to the Frost body and he's using the vest from The Walking Dead Daryl figure repainted to look like Drake's flak jacket. I think it works pretty well.

I'll try to get decent pictures over the holiday.

For the "graffiti" you should consider WW2 model kits nose art decals (1:72 scale is just perfect) with pin-ups / cartoon characters / funny morale writings at your convenience. Fits perfectly with the grunt spirit.
Nice customs by the way ;) (but IMO you should darken somehow the skin of the black gunner, the difference between the face and the neck / arms is noticeable).

Post by: Njm1983 on Dec 01, 2016, 06:53:46 AM
Given the characters heads are from the walking dead. You could use some symbols from their history. Rick was a sheriff so you could paint a badge or use graffiti "there's a new sheriff in town"

For Daryl maybe a bullseye with arrow shafts sticking out of it???

Hello again everyone!

I used to be a member for a long time here on avpgalxy awhile back. I decided to start up a new account to post just a few times here and there in light of the new Alien and Predator movies that will be coming out! Can't wait!

It's felt like so long since posting anything, but I recently found myself starting up a small Alien/Predator/Prometheus collection of random collectible items. So I recently customized some Micro Machine figures to update the figures with the recent movies, etc.

I'm no professional and worked with whatever paint & materials that I had. Anyways, with the use of some Star Wars micro machines I customized a Sacrificial Engineer (w/Black Goo Jar) & Engineer (Chair Suit). Also, used a random silver Star Wars ship for the 1st engineer ship in the very beginning of Prometheus (close enough I thought haha).

Anyways, I just wanted to share some of the recent work that I have done & hopefully I will have more to come!

So I was always bummed that Galoob/Micro Machines had several prototypes for Alien & Predator that were never sold. Especially the Jordan Family/Daihotai Tractor from Aliens.

So I wanted to try my best to replicate a micro machine version of my own to go with my collection.

I ended up using a Hot Wheels Mars Exploration Rover & a Hot Wheels Digger vehicle to construct the tractor. I also used some random other plastic pieces from miscellaneous items shown below.

*Added a customized facehugger figure to match the Jordan Family dad in the prototype too*

All in all, I am very happy with the finished product. I tried very hard to match all little details/gadgets that the prototype shows. But unfortunately the Family Tractor has 4 wheels & the Mars Rover only has 3 wheels. Regardless, I decided to leave it because I couldn't really add an extra working wheel that would look good either.

I hope you guys think it looks good & just thought I'd share another new custom of mine :)

So I started working on some WeYu PMC's. I actually liked them in ACM, except for how often you fought them and they wore white dominant armor. I'm going for damaged grey armor on black fatigues. Still on the fence about this particular color/weathering for the armor though.
Still early WIP's, I think I might do 5 total, plus one smart gunner.

Holy cow, they look awesome !
I never played ACM so I'll never know how accurate they could be, but the regular collector in me totally digs the PMC concept and the effort you put in these figures, so much elements from the WY commandos and the regular USCM that one can immediately find out they're related to the Alien franchise.
By the way, these confirm that NECA figures provide us a great variety of custom basis (yours and Sabres' for instance).

Keep the good work up !  8)

So this is one of my latest additions, just haven't had a chance to post my other customs yet. But I wanted to create a Deacon Micro Machine type figure for my Prometheus collection. So I used a random alien necklace to create the Deacon (who I decided to have standing over a dead engineer upper body). Also, I know the Deacon has no tail or dorsal spines, but they're not really noticeable so I kept them.

Wasn't too difficult but I like the end result :)

^ I like it.

I did some custom work today, I changed up the new Elder predator. I removed his cape, gave him Hive Wars wrist blades, a duel plasma caster, a custom sword with the hilt being made from a xeno inner mouth, and an assassins creed sword as an additional trophy.

I also started work on a masked Bad Blood. He still needs some paint work, but he's 90% done. I wanted to go with a more Predators style mask so I used one of the trophy skulls I had and modified a Gort mask with them. Everything else is stock Bad Blood stuff transferred onto the Ultimate City Hunter body.

The problem with being so late to the party is that I've had to scroll through 113 pages,the plus side is that i have seen some magnificent and imaginative  conversion work :)
This isn't strictly a conversion,I have just glued the figure in the desired position and filled the seams and gaps and re-painted,The base is scratch built from plastic card,old plumbing detritus and various bits from the spares box,the lead splash effect was made by mixing builders sand and dried herbs(honestly!)in white glue and gun metal paint.
I happen to think this figure is one of NECAS best for likeness.

Hi Vark
Thanks for the compliment,glad you liked it,as requested.
This was my first attempt at an Aliens diorama from about 3 years ago,the Ripley and aliens are Geo-metric vinyl kits that i have had for a very long time,the Burke figure was a cheap wrestling figure i picked up in a cheap shop(bit of wish fulfillment on my part,he never got the gruesome on screen death he richly deserved ;D)

He's buff, tough, and rough, it's the mercenary Herk Mondo from the Aliens Colonial Marines comic book and he's ready to take on the Xenomorph hordes! Herk was created from a Marvel Legends Nuke body, Gears of War head, Steve Rogers hands, and hand sculpted armor/details. He features a gigantic rifle and techy Pulse Rifle. He even has his alien mouth belt buckle and chestburster knife just like he had in the comics!

The deadliest of Alien guards lurk deep within the Alien hive and are armored and ready to tear into anything that threatens the colony. These are the Queen's Praetorian, a unique and powerful class of Xenomorph and this week I've created one for your hive! The Praetorian was created using the AvP warrior body with its dome and back head removed. A Revoltech Queen alien crest was grafted in its place, dome resculpted, and Mantis alien spikes added to its cheeks, arms, and hips. Other spines/blades were added and Spider Gremlin leg sections were modded into back tubes and sculpted in.

Straight out of the AvP Extinction video game comes the fearsome Ravager Alien Warrior! These bladed aliens are a unique and powerful class of Xenomorph that can shear through armor and hack into its prey. This week I give you one of these Ravagers to add to your collection. He was created using an NECA Mantis Alien base, warrior lower legs, Dog Alien tail ends, and star wars Acklay beast claws. The head was resculpted and given additional tubing along with a new tail and Mantis feet swapped onto the new lower legs. Testors Aztek Airbrush paints were used, the metallics specifically for a dual blue/green faded look with bone highlights.

I had been meaning to make these 2 Neomorph customs already, but hadn't had time to work on any new items.

But I was able to do these relatively fast & chose to add a quick ampule jar to my micro Engineer figure as well.

I did a little modification to my Frost to make him a little more movie accurate.
Chopped his arms off and replaced them with the Uncharted Nathan Drake arms (I made two custom Marines out of Nathan's two heads, body for a hive victim)
sculpted the sleeves with green stuff, I like it but I think I made the rolled part a little too thick. I might try to change it.
I cut the extra pocket off his side bag, it still needs repainting.
I also removed his back plate and replaced it with a repainted Hicks back plate. Someone on another forum had said the graffiti on the back was wrong and it started to bother me.
(sorry for the crappy Iphone pics)

Hello everyone.
Here are some work in progress. I'm planning my own Alien/Predator fan fiction using some custom figures in partial photo comic.
The first story of the trilogy is a Predators story - a group of Colonial Marines hunted by a group of Super Predators.
These are the Bio Masks of all three - from left to right Executioner Predator (who will use a Predator version of an executioner's axe), Darkling Predator (the sadistic pack Alpha), and Trapper Predator (who uses lethal traps - think bear traps but bigger). All three are a Badblood hunting party that mark their Bio Masks with streaks of Yautja blood.
Also a couple of shots of Trapper Predator (so far, still have a bit of work to do - and create the nasty traps he uses).

Couldn't find that many detailed pics of the ship online or in screen-caps. So I still may add some more details down the road, but this is what I could get done in a day...hope you all like it :)

Yeah I was fortunate enough to have this model come in this specific blue resin material from the seller.

& even though I painted the ship my best, I'm especially happy with leaving the stand unpainted and letting it keep that blue transparent color for the display.

Nice! Yeah this seller (kniepercustom3d) I picked up through from eBay has a lot of other models from the movies, etc. for sale that are really cool! I actually also had bought these 2 prometheus ship models (a tiny blue model & a 3-4inch model) recently...

Here's my Drake

Used a Windrix body, Hicks head (shaved), Hicks arms and I bought a 2nd Vasquez figure for the Smartgun and harness.  I painted the chest armor that came with Windrix to resemble Drake's flak vest in the movie and used a piece of motion tracker sling for the head wear and painted it NATO Green.

Got my order in yesterday and got to work on my Gorman and did some tweaking to one of the pilots.  I never really had any action figures growing up.  My family wasn't really the wealthiest, so i'm getting to the party a little late, but I made it!

Gorman - Colonel Stars body w/ T-1000 head, Ripley's grenade bandolier and a motion tracker strap as the belt w/ a pistol and holster glued to it.  I'm not sure how to get a hat for him, so I might have to just go with the bandaged forehead look.  I'll be doing another Gorman like this for my ops room battle display.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4415/37333147605_43b6953119_k.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/YT197H)

Pilot -  I used the Amanda Ripley body w/ a Sarah Connor head and took the leg holster and pistol from a Lara Croft figure then painted her green and added a few details here and there.  I'm not the greatest at painting yet, lol

With some (heavy) cutting/dremling you can get the Sara Connor hat to fit onto other figures. That's what I did for the smart-gunner below. It may not be 100% accurate in style to Gormans movie cap, but it should get the job done.

When I removed the hat there wasn't much I needed to do (mostly boil and pull, some minor cutting). When I went to put it on the Nathan Drake head I had to cut the top of the head to be shorter, then dremel/cut the sides of the head down so it looked like the hat was actually pulled down on his head. You want to keep some of the original centered so the hat actually has something to glue to.
It'll take a bit of time to get the right look, but it's a good option if you want a pre-ops battle Gorman. Nathans head is a bit big because his hair, the T2 head your using looks like it might not have the same issue.

Here's another picture with the hat pulled down a little bit more

I found the original "Ash" marine I did, and I also have a marine using the head from the Portal figure.
I'll have to do a bit more looking but I might have one more using the Perseus head. I still have stuff boxed up from when I moved a month ago.
This is the mentioned Ash, using a Mcfarlane helmet.

Finally finished O'Neil and Cruz.

Cruz - Hudson body, Windrix head (filler until I can find something else), then I used a T-800 leg and a piece of a Halo figures boot.

O'Neil - Dutch Jungle Patrol figure with Undertaker head.  For the bandana, I trimmed the hat it came with then painted the little designs.  I bought another Vasquez figure and took all her parts off.  (Gonna use that extra Vasquez body as a base for Bella next)

Nice customs from 'A:CM'.  I bet if NECA wanted to make a range of these marine figures they'd sell.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4490/23724000938_fef5618968_z.jpg)

I know NECA said 'human characters don't sell' but the popularity of the USCM is undeniable.

Yeah there's blood splatter on him , I also put a lot of washes on him ,  blacks , bronze and browns ,  believe it or not there's even green hues on him here and there too . It's not a massive upgrade but in hand you can certainly see the difference.


Hicks this is my beloved elder clan leader , I completely repainted him black , gave him more depth with washes on his armour ,  I think it paid off , what do you think ?

First time molding, just messing around. Custom Battle Damaged Bio Mask Predator. Just slabbed on a rough coat of paint I had laying around.

If anyone has any tips on paints that will better match the Neca figures please share! Want it to have that shiny, glossy look.

This is a repainted and re-sculpted Fugitive Predator turned into a more futuristic version of himself or a descendant far into the future of the 2018 movie. He exists in a time during the period of the Colonial Marines and Aliens.

I took parts from Wolf, Jungle Hunter, Scavenger Predators. I used a soldiering iron to add battle damage to his mask and armor. Damage was later painted to look like actual damage with Basic [TM] acrylic paint.

Here is his character biography...

Name: "The Acolyte"
Rank: Un-Blooded
Species: Yautja
Gender: Male

One of the first wave Young Bloods to hunt on LV-742, "The Acolyte" is one of the newest members to join the "New" Lost Tribe. He is yet to prove himself and must embark on his first hunt and achieve his status as a warrior. He is known to utilize technology and cunning in his hunts. Credited with having hacked a super predator falcon reconnaissance drone. He uses the small drone to track prey and has upgraded it with stealth cloaking technology and enhanced vocal mimicry. It's weapons capabilities are known only to Acolyte. He is also know to use laser mines, duel wrist blades, and a rotary plasmacaster.

You could do all the predators from that clan honestly. Just need this body...but at $80 or more a figure for serpent hunter...that would get expensive quick.

Some people are selling them for over $120 unboxed. I bought mine for $80 brand new. Are these idiots huffing paint?

Nice finished custom with the Dark Predator figure Clanleaderyautja! Good use of other accessories/parts.


Here are some updated figures I've had, wanted to make an Ultimate Berserker figure with extra accessories & just gave additional hands and extra accessories to the Fugitive figure as well ;D

Once things settle down a bit, I need to finish photographing, editing, and write the new episodes. I haven't had much luck building a strong following yet. I'm not sure if it's because it really is bad or just nobody likes that kind of format?

Once things settle down a bit, I need to finish photographing, editing, and write the new episodes. I haven't had much luck building a strong following yet. I'm not sure if it's because it really is bad or just nobody likes that kind of format?

In my opinion, I don't think it's bad. I'm not sure what else is out there in terms of sites where this particular format is easy to share.

Yakface and the Photonovel Alliance. Those are mainly tailored to Star Wars though. This is a very, very niche medium. I do appreciate the praise because it is a shit ton of work.

I've post my customs there. But not my comic. Their format wouldn't allow for more than one picture frame at a time. And a typical comic runs 40-80 picture frames.

Photo comics/stories are a pretty niche aspect of this hobby. I used to do them for my 1:6 hobby a few years back, and even on a 1:6 forum (while the post would get views) there were never a whole lot of comments. Action shots/dioramas get a lot more response from people I've noticed.

I've really like the new bad blood btw, I'd really like to do some skin repaints but the few times I've tried they've never turned out very well. I've been painting netting on the Ghost predator on and off for the past few days, total pain in the ass but they look better with it painted.
I have a couple other  Predators I've been making thanks to my local shop have a plethora of extra Ahab's and Bad Blood two packs.

I must agree with you in respect to action figure comics. I think it's not a "mainstream" art or idea yet. A lot of people don't appreciate the extreme effort that goes into such a thing. But I really do appreciate the vote of confidence in my art. That means a lot. If you haven't, feel free to check it out. While it's not perfect, it's certainly not bad. I'm trying to get things ready for Episode 3 and 4. 1 and 2 have already been "published."

And it's nice to find someone who knows the pain of painting body netting on these figures...

Contact your legal advisor.  Particularly one who is specialises in trademark and copyright law.   They will walk you through what you can do, what you can't do...  and show you how to work within the odd grey areas that a lot of Authors work within.  Stay within those 'grey' areas and you're pretty safe.  Keep it to a minmum, though.

Keep in mind there are provisions within copyright law that will permit the use of third party images to be used by Authors under specific conditions.  Stay within those laws and you will be OK.

Decided to give Twinblade an unmasked variation head.

Neca marines and predators are so fun for customizing. Anything from simple head/armor swaps to massive repaints and recombination of parts looks great most of the time.

Thanks! And yes. I snipped off his original ones to make a comic accurate Ahab. New ones are the nails off a gears of war locust grenadier figure.

I also started repainting this guy.

Looking nice. One day when I make the egg sack, I plan to try to do it out of expanding foam!I know it's a weird idea, but I'll try to use a long metal wire and coat it with foam. As it expands, I'll slowly but surely shape it to the desired shape. At least, that's the plan. Got inspired by some expanding foam art. I may be naive, but I believe it can be controlled.  ;D

Post by: Still Collating... on Feb 03, 2019, 03:56:05 PM
I expect it to be hard to control. I'll have to make a few test versions probably. Or just keep going at it till I like one version. It's gonna be a very slow and time consuming process knowing that the foam needs hours to finish expanding, so I plan to shape it, to mold it bit by bit every half hour for the whole day till it's done.
It's certainly going to act unpredictably in my eyes, but to gain as much control over it as I can, I'll need to do more research. That's gonna be my summer project, along with a hive wall (modeled after the ones in Isolation) for my shelf.

Let me know how/when/if you do it and what the results are. If I can pick your brain...can you think of a better, more realistic way to support the egg sack? I've been using painted cloth, but I think I can do better.

Post by: Still Collating... on Feb 04, 2019, 12:49:02 AM
Oh, I'm definitely gonna try, I'll just have to wait a bit for a good go at it. I'll definitely post pictures.

As for the support, I was planning to try actually plastic foil! Layers and layers of it so it's not completely see through, and I'm gonna try it because I like its texture when it gets stretched. Either that, or some of those thin, see through plastic bags that stretch in a similar manner. Cut them up, stretch them and give it a go. Though I believe the foil is my best bet if I don't think of a better idea. The egg sack support in the movie did always look plastic like to me and it just clicked in me when I saw the plastic foil I had in the house stretch beautifully as it wrapped my luggage for protection against airplane transport. Though hypothesis and reality are still far away from each other.  :laugh:

No problem, I have been inspired by so many diorama makers. The goal is to get to creating awesome dioramas, so I'm glad to to help out a fellow customizer with new ideas at least. Especially knowing how slow I am at realizing them myself. :laugh:
Looks nice, and the plastic is easy for manipulation and for trying different layout variations. Experimenting with more/less layers, thinning it out, width, angles etc...

Edit: I recommend just studying the Queens egg sack from the movie and the behind the scenes photos of the little prop. But here is what inspired me the most, what made me go: I have to make this. Bravo to the creator whoever they are.

So I think my next project is going to be a custom Predalien. I want to try for some of the designs connected to the concept art of the Predalien (popular with some users here) and some elements of the AVP 2010 videogame Predalien.

Just curious, have you looked into some fish tank filter flooring as the base? It looks just like the floor grating from Aliens once you paint it.

I have, actually! I would just have to order it online because it's like $30/per tile here locally. I might try some flea markets and see if I can find one cheaper. I'm not paying that much per tile. As for the Predalien custom, both figures SHOULD be shipping out today.

So I think my next project is going to be a custom Predalien. I want to try for some of the designs connected to the concept art of the Predalien (popular with some users here) and some elements of the AVP 2010 videogame Predalien. I want to get as far away as possible from the AVP:R design. I'll be using a kitbash of a Neca Aliens Defiance xenomorph, a Neca AVP:R Predalien, some custom sculpting, and repainting more than likely.

Glad you enjoy it! Btw, the floor tiles are what sell this. You can find them if you go to google and type "fish tank screen filter." I got them from my local petsmart for $17.

Edit: did this just for you.

Post by: Still Collating... on Feb 12, 2019, 12:17:35 AM
Looks great, as usual. The closed mandibles give the jaw a nicer shape. Good work there, better than the original design for sure. Though I can't make out the upper mandibles. Plus, yeah, the predalien looks so much better with a darker skin tone.
Are you gonna change the dreads? Don't know if you like it like that but IMO they always stuck out too much on the figure. Looks like Chet is having a bad hair day. If your not gonna use other dreadlocks, maybe you can just bend them with enough heat and slope them back for a more streamlined look, if you don't like the dreds as they are.

For the ground level fog you can use ripped and thinned cotton balls, and for the walls and pillars you can either find a similar pattern online, copy it on paper/cardboard and cut it to make the pillars out of, or you can draw from the stills, scan it, minimize it, copy it and repeat the former process I mentioned.

A good suggestion was hoping to have a more 3d feel to the texture if possible at least for the backdrop as needs to be large for the dropship.

You leaving the "orange" part that colour?

I'm not keen on the green/yellow colour scheme but the work is excellent none the less, the mandibles are a marked improvement but you're not working with the best design to begin with, IMO the worst in either franchise bar "The Predator" Predator dogs. The dreadlocks and "pimples" look wrong but I don't know what you could do short of sculpting a completely new head.

I know most of this seems negative, but the good stuff you've done is a testament to your talent and a condemnation of the ineptitude of the Requiem PredAlien design.

LOL. I'll take it. It's just the color scheme the art inspired me to do. I wanted something that popped, but wasn't so black you couldn't see the sculpt. My paint job definitely brought out the details in the head waaaaay more than the original for sure.

Edit: it's a flesh tone paint from citadel on the head. Washed with a brown paint. I rather liked it. He doesn't look...typical. I should show you the hunter who spawned his birth. You'll understand why he looks how he does.

I've seriously contemplated doing that. Problem is cost of fodder for these projects. Predalien was $60. Defiance xeno, $45. Time and effort...probably around $15/hour. And this took about 6.

Looks cool, and yeah, has an AVP2 game vibe which is nice in itself. Looking at your work on him, I'm definitely getting impatient with when Neca is going to release their predalien, so I can mod mine of course. And I want them to get him out of the way so they can start making some other predalien variants from the games and comics. But I know that's far off...

What I like most about your version is what you've done with the mandibles. Really think they're nicely done.

I definitely think it looks good, and I'd probably be going down the same route if Neca never announced they would eventually put out a 2.0 version.

Yep. That's what has me absolutely stumped. The body could be done with a Bishop for the most part. Would need some arm swapping. The head, however, is damn near impossible. MAYBE a one of the marvel legends figure might have something that could work? Ultron? If you come across anything that could, let me know. I am actively searching.

Not bad, but be careful about the scale. Neca figures are big, they are more like 7 inches than 6 inches these synthetic humans are. If you're going to use just the head, than that could work, but it might be a bit costly to pay that much for just a face.

P.S. Does anyone here know if the head on the Neca alien warriors can be popped off without braking? Cause I'm thinking of doing that and sanding off a  large chunk of the nape of the neck so that the head could finally get more range.

I could ask someone to just make a head cast for me...but I don't know anyone who has one.

It can. The hoses will snap though. Just use boiling water. Microwaved in an container or wide cup for 3 or 4 mins. Submerge figure for 45 seconds. Remove and pat dry. Gently pull and pop from joint. Use thongs or pliers when removing from hot water.

This method is called "boil and pop" by figure customizers. Here are some techniques.

P.S. Does anyone here know if the head on the Neca alien warriors can be popped off without braking? Cause I'm thinking of doing that and sanding off a  large chunk of the nape of the neck so that the head could finally get more range.


I could ask someone to just make a head cast for me...but I don't know anyone who has one.

It can. The hoses will snap though. Just use boiling water. Microwaved in an container or wide cup for 3 or 4 mins. Submerge figure for 45 seconds. Remove and pat dry. Gently pull and pop from joint. Use thongs or pliers when removing from hot water.

This method is called "boil and pop" by figure customizers. Here are some techniques.

Huh. Is that how some people have been able to remove the armor from the Marines? I've seen an image of armorless Hudson on Google and wondered how considering it doesn't appear as though it's supposed to come off.

It's glued on the sides where the two plates meet. Some sets can be peeled apart perfectly without heating them, others need heating

Not bad, but be careful about the scale. Neca figures are big, they are more like 7 inches than 6 inches these synthetic humans are. If you're going to use just the head, than that could work, but it might be a bit costly to pay that much for just a face.

As I linked, that website will teach you customizing. If you desire to know more, I know plenty of good YouTube channels.

Thanks for the info! Will definitely try that first on my least valuable Big Chap or Warrior. The updated warrior alien has great finger and knee articulation. The only thing that's really missing for me is the neck. They need to be able to crawl and look up without contorting their bodies. So the first thing I'll try is sanding/carving the nape and the root of the head to see if I could get better range like that. If not, I'll have to try altering the neck peg somehow and I hope I can avoid that.

I think they're incredible for their scale, and their articulation blows Neca's out of the water. Plus, they got the look of the Big Chap right, which NECA in ten years still hasn't.

Neca does need to sort out some articulation problems. They are getting better, slowly but surely. I will weep with joy if the day comes that Neca give Big Chap and the warrior decent neck articulation. When they redid the mold for the ultimates, I have no idea why the hell they ignored the neck issue. The back spine is removable, that's a great step. Now just resculpt the neck so that we could get a better angle when bending the head, or give us a neck joint like the Dog alien has one.

Thanks for the suggestion, I don't have one, but knowing how useful it is, I'm planning to get one because I want to get more into customizing. And since I'm an articulation junkie, I won't be able to ignore the neck for too long. I'll have to try.

I'd rather have ball joints than shit tier articulation and figures that get loose or break. Plus as I said, they're smaller than Figma, they don't have the space to disguise their ball joints, which are only obvious on the elbows and knees.

Well, you can forget about it coming Officially from NECA, these new Warriors are called "Ultimate" so it's the final version, it's obvious they don't give a shit about neck articulation.
Predators can't look up either. Which is a shame because it would be simple to implement.

Just would have to fix the chest/name tag areas and sculpt some ears. Done. Rest is cake repaint.
My plan is to use the head from a Gotham Mr. Zsasz figure

That would also be feasible. Depending on the scale...
Same scale as NECA.

This isn't "new" but the Mask is totally redone. I casted the biomask from Viper Predator.

This was a knock off Hippie/Shaman I customized into my own vision of what a Yautja shaman would look like. A lore keeper and religious leader.

Nice customs pmaz11! I can't wait for Neca to do the Ultimate Predators, I so wanna get those guys with good articulation and make custom characters out of them.

Finally gonna start adding some pics here.

Lets start with my repainted David. I didn't have the head that came with Shaw, but the original one, which was a pain to repaint. Those bloody eyebrows and annoying lipstick. Not perfect, especially up close, but I'm happy with the result since it's one of my first attempts at painting figures. I loved doing this and I learned a lot from it.

Still can't decide if I should do something with his hair... Cause I want my David to be the one from after Prometheus and probably Covenant. Don't know if David will let his hair grow again and dye it blond, or will he keep the short dark look.
What do you guys think?

Damn, that's beautiful! Great idea for the head, though love the whole paint scheme. How'd you do it?
Did it take long? Because I'm wondering how practical and time consuming is it to paint a whole bunch of them...

And will bending the tail rip the paint?
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: [cancerblack] on May 04, 2019, 08:37:19 PM
Thanks. I'm terrified to find out about bending the tail, although people assure me that when they've used essentially the same paints that it can still be re positioned, although perhaps not on a daily basis. I can confirm that the joints are all good though.

Method for painting was as follows, almost all Games Workshop paints except for the spray varnish:

- Spray Chaos Black
- Drybrush Boltgun Metal (now called Leadbelcher) with a large flat brush
- Drybrush Ryza Rust onto all the gills, cables, and selected other details with a small flat brush
- Apply a wash of Fuegan Orange to the previous details with a medium pointed brush
- Drybrush Boltgun Metal again, large flat brush again
- Detail the teeth with Chainmail (now called Ironbreaker) and a fine detailing brush
- Apply a black wash of Nuln Oil to the teeth
- Paint the cranial panels matte black (I like Army Painter matte black, but GW Abaddon Black is fine)
- Paint the shoulder rims and claws black
- Spray the entire figure with matte varnish (I use Army Painter Anti-Gloss Varnish)
- Apply two coats of 'Ardcoat (gloss varnish) to the cranial panels and other black areas


Took about two and a half hours for the whole figure, not including a bit of waiting for things to dry. On a hot dry day you could easily knock out a good number of them.

The skull is a NECA P1 trophy skull cut at the jaw line, glued in place and then repainted.
It really is a silly idea, but I agree it looked cool so I bought it. I just made the backstory more of an "enemy of my enemy" alliance. I tried to play into the "honor code" aspect a little bit to.

Spoiler
In the summer of 2145 hostilities between USCM forces and the UPP came to a head on LV-696, also known as Ripscion. Large scale combat broke out across the planets mostly tropical surface. Unbeknownst to the two warring sides this attracted the attention of a small clan young Yautja hunters.
The Hunters became involved in one particularly bloody battle that took place in the Spinne valley. The battle lasted for several days, with the USCM taking heavy casualties. Due to a heavy rainstorm the wounded couldn't be evacuated via air and had to wait out the night on the ground.
The hunters set upon a casualty collection point, and began to slaughter not only the soldiers guarding the point, but also the wounded and the unarmed medics trying to keep them alive.
"I don't know what caused it or why they did it, but two of the bastards turned on the others who were working their way through the camp" recalls Corporal Dante Williams.
"They didn't stand much of a chance though, the others...I don't even know how many of them their were but they reacted quick, sliced them both up pretty good and stripped them of most of their gear. By that time though 3rd platoon had made its way back and scared them off" Corporal Williams finished.
"The best idea we have for why they did it is some sort of honor code...there wasn't any sport in killing the wounded. We don't even know why they chose to stay with us, maybe because our medics took pity on them and patched them up, or maybe they just want some kind of revenge against the others, I don't know. I'm just glad they don't currently want to kill us".

I've also been doing some repaints on my xenos, some of the pictures revealed some flaws in the painting though that need touching up so I'm just gonna share the ones that don't show those

Nice backstory, for me at least, it works.

The color scheme on the aliens is really cool. I do get kinda annoyed how Neca keeps changing the color schemes on their aliens (though I do understand why) and that's why my hive seems a bit too colorful for my taste. So when I see color matched aliens, it brings joy to the eyes.  :laugh:

I'd recommend heating the head with water or a hair dryer to remove it from the peg. The actual neck pegs probably wont swap (different ball sizes) but the heads should be able to fit on the pegs just fine.
Worst case scenario you could do a mask swap, but that can be a little trickier.

What kind of paints do you guys use? My local comic shop has a bunch of paints for little DND models so would that kind of stuff work? I don't know the brands either (I just know they carry it).

Outside of also just drilling into the figure to make the holes for things like shoulder cannons (thank you all the Wolf figures I've ever bought), is there a specific kind of glue I should be looking for?
Title: Re: Post Your Custom Figures/Models
Post by: JokersWarPig on Jun 14, 2019, 02:49:28 PM
I use Games Workshop/Citadel paints because that's whats available at my local shop. I'd say any model/game paint would work well as long as you seal it once you're done. I wouldn't use Testors paint though, I've had bad experiences with it.

Been going through this thread and Amazing work done people, truly. Plus nice to see my old username 1/18th scale stuff near the front "axeman" btw.

Well moved to 1/12th scale and been stealing from NECA Marines lol

I am making cloth uniformed, removable Armoured Marines.

Sand off straps and buckles and redoing with cloth straps and working buckles. Yep I can find them for 1/12th scale lol

Hoping to find even smaller buckles and do solution grieves too. For now though dremelled out hollow NECA grieves.
Also strapped the Ab/groin piece up like the real version.

Still have cloth belts to do and webbing straps.

So I finished my second USCM Emissary a while ago and got pictures of him when I was getting the xeno shots. Like I did with the original Emissary, they both have a little background now.

Spoiler
Field Journal -- Lieutenant Miguel J. Nunez

It's been a few weeks since the incident in the Spinne Valley. Command was at a loss as to what to do with the two aliens, and the idea that there was more of them out there complicated all operations in that area. The aliens didn't take very kindly to being treated like prisoners, but after some tense stand offs we learned that they understood our language at a very basic level; however they could only respond by using some sort of device that mimicked our own voices.
From what I understand they're bound by some honor code to take out the rest of the "clan" they arrived here with, and they've decided to attach themselves to my platoon in order to accomplish that task.
I protested against it, but orders are orders. The Aliens claim that since my platoon forced them to retreat in Spinne that they'll be looking to take us out specifically and Command thinks we'll stand a better chance with them on our side, but I don't trust it at all. Some Wey-Yu spooks have been poking their heads around as well...makes me nervous.

Field Journal -- Corporal Wallace A. Jenkins

We don't know their names, or if they even have names the same way we do so that made communication very difficult at first. Caparzo, the platoons bible thumper started calling the one with the red stripes on his mask Kane and the purple one Abel. It's kind of fitting though since they seem to have some kind of animosity or rivalry between the two..most of the bets seem to be on Kane if things every come to a head.

Field Journal -- Private Dante Howell

They took an instant liking to the M56's, the thing's weigh about 45 pounds and these big (REDACTED) can carry them around like it's nothing. They don't even use the targeting gear, best we can tell they link the things directly into their masks. I guess they must have some of their own targeting tech for their own weapons, man I'd like to see what some of those do.

I'm really liking those weapons, especially the carbine. Are those parts from gundam kits you used on it?

That smart gunner is looking great, I wish the stock neca figures had that range of motion.

Yep Gundam bullpup rifle. Comes with 2 options for the front as long barrel or carbine. So used the carbine for this mod.


Think I can get another 1/12th scale Squad or more worth of BDU's.
No idea how long but will get there. Thankfully Neca/McFarlane armour mods done (cloth straps and working buckles). Plus clip on buckle webbing.
Just tedious work ahead doing the uniforms.

This is work in progress, but I'd thought I share this preview (and show how far for film accurate colours I'd go) of Razor Claws Xenomorph - it is just the base coat so far. The dome covering is put aside for now so I can paint the inner skull-like details. It is mainly dry-brushes and ink washes, as well as the metallic teeth. The rest of the batches also being painted now include the Crysalis, Arachnoid, Gorilla, Mantis, and Snake Xenomorphs.
I will post the picks when they are done - along with a diorama piece I am creating.

Laid the buckle over one shin to show how small they Are. 
Dremelled the shins hollow. Then cut into 2 halves. Now  to Strap the shin armour up.

Here is a couple of pics of work in progress (but near completion). The Razor Claws Xenomorph now with film style colours - I thought the drone (Alien's Big Chap) colours would look better than the original red, to match with the rest of the hive.
The Emissary Predator #2 with armour and fatigues painted to look a bit Colonial Marine (either allied or scavenged from Marine prey)
The background is a scenery piece created as an extension of the cucooned colonist diorama piece (from McFarlaine Alien Queen set) - looks better for photos than the bookshelf as background.

The first finished member of my Red Blades clan, a group of predators who fill a similar role of Wolf; They're the predators who get called when Xenomorph hunts go wrong. Hunting Xenomorphs holds important religious significance to this clan, the depths of which only its members truly know. Their armor is made from a black metal to emulate their favored prey, and their blades are made from a red colored, acid resistant metal.
This Predator is the second most experienced hunter in the clan. His clan was decimated after a xenomorph outbreak had occurred on the planet they were hunting on. Taken by surprise and having little expirience in hunting xenormorphs the clan members fell one by one and their ship was destroyed. He was stranded on the planet for many years and in that time he learned to respect the creatures and also the best ways to out maneuver them in hand to hand combat.

As always, love both the look and the backstory. Neca predators are perfect for creative kit-bashing. No matter if it's simple head swaps to complex repaints and equipment swaps, it always looks good.

Recently wrapped up work on an EOD technician for my colonial marines. I realized we don't really see much outside of grunts and gunners, so I thought I should take a whack and making up my own design for what an EOD guy in the Colonial Marines would look like.

Its a Dallas I found dirt cheap at a thrift store. He was damaged and had no accessories, I used Weyland Yutani commando arms on him, and then I used Emissary armor modified to fit over the chest and waist. The head is off of a Diamond Select Gunslinger... Not sure why, but after I finished the base of the suit I just felt Idris Elba would look really cool wearing it.

Working on a soldier I've just been calling Rosco for now. Building a prostethic leg like the one seen on a Sarge in the Colonial Marines game. He's far from done, but I may be getting a little trigger happy with how many marines I want to build. I should try and get more xenos.

Aves Apoxie, its a two part compound that air dries and gets extremely hard and easy to sand when fully cured. I would suggest it for most projects like this. The texture of the putty when combined is very easy to sculpt, but also rigid enough to hold its own shape. After about an hour or so it starts to set, and then from there you need to wait 24 hours for sanding.

The chest plate I literally rolled out a flat piece and cut the shape, then after the flat shape cured I built it up on that to create the angular armor, let it fully cute, then sanded to be more angular. I had my Vasquez next to me the whole time to make sure I was copying all the details of a Smart Gunner harness as best I could.

Agreed on the feet, the only reason I've not really swapped them is the joint set up is so wildly different for Preds and Kratos's feet. So I've delayed finishing that part until I can find a good way to attach them and retain articulation. I'm glad folks are digging Pete else wise.

Here is a quick custom (compared to some) Predator I have created using an Alien Vs Predator body with a spare Stalker head and added tusks from a spare Tracker mask. I have modified the AvP Predators to make their wrist weapons modular to swap around - hence why he has a wrist mounted net launcher on his right gauntlet.
This is going to be one of the three Predator hunting pack that will feature in a fan story I'm creating - Predator Vs The Thing.
Not thought of the name yet (he is not the main one in the story).

Who is a fellow fan of The Thing? I thought it would be fun to create a fan fiction crossover. So I'm currently writing Predator Vs The Thing.
On a remote base on a frozen moon, a group of scientists and a squad of Colonial Marines find themselves under siege from a Predator hunting pack. But is the threat from the hunters or is the real threat hidden among them.
Here is a custom figure I have created of one of the Things in that story - using a Left 4 Dead Smoker figure as the base with added parts from a Trilobite, an eyestalk from a broken McFarlaine Noris Head-Thing (the spider legs had snapped off before the pack was opened), along with spare parts from my Warhammer 40K Tyranids.

The first image is the revelation of a Thing, the second image is when it sprouts tendrils and tongues to attack, third image it sprouts a long neck to attempt an escape, fourth image closeup of the head (on the end of the neck) attempting to latch on to an escape.

Very good eye Cancerblack. Spare spikes and mandibles from the Trygon/Mawloc kit made very good teeth/claws for the Thing - with more spares for the other versions of the Thing (so excited about this custom project - should be about six different Things to create, including the one that starts the nightmare)

Look forward to seeing pics of your Big Chap project (understand all too well the amount of gloss varnish needed for Xenomorph customs/repaints)

That is a sweet conversion cancerblack.
The Shaman Predator is a good figure for customs - longer dreadlocks are perfect for veteran Predator conversions (I look forward to the upcoming Ultimate Shaman Predator)

I know all too well when items/figure articulation snaps when you get something out of the package (one reason I will get spares at the same time). But I turn my frown upside-down and turn damage into customizing projects.

Who is a fellow fan of The Thing? I thought it would be fun to create a fan fiction crossover. So I'm currently writing Predator Vs The Thing.
On a remote base on a frozen moon, a group of scientists and a squad of Colonial Marines find themselves under siege from a Predator hunting pack. But is the threat from the hunters or is the real threat hidden among them.
Here is a custom figure I have created of one of the Things in that story - using a Left 4 Dead Smoker figure as the base with added parts from a Trilobite, an eyestalk from a broken McFarlaine Noris Head-Thing (the spider legs had snapped off before the pack was opened), along with spare parts from my Warhammer 40K Tyranids.

The first image is the revelation of a Thing, the second image is when it sprouts tendrils and tongues to attack, third image it sprouts a long neck to attempt an escape, fourth image closeup of the head (on the end of the neck) attempting to latch on to an escape.

These are awesome my friend. I too love John Carpenters The Thing so it's great to see. Top notch!

Hi guys. I'd like to present to you my custom front for NECA P2 Troophy Wall. The whole point in creating such thing was to create a rack for leds, to light up troophy wall and to make whole composition more whole. The front is nearly finished and I'm happy with it. The leds are not yet installed and it's still work in progress. I'll update when it's done. For now enjoy!

Thank you! Thank you all for your kind word. I'm flattered and humbled by all of your oppinion!
Thing that occured to me while working on troophy wall project is, that this whole compartment isn't some special place dedicated for City Hunters skulls, and more like random space addapted by young hunter for his own perpous. You know, like some technical compartment or broom closet. There is allot of pipes and technical gizmos there, branded by Predator numbers. I wonder if there are any materials about it?

New predator weapon I designed.

Its use is to capture prey.
How does it work?: There are two metal balls with a metal line connecting them, it's called a TEINE, When it hits a target, the line rappes around the target and the balls connect together trapping the prey, then it electricutes the prey to temporarily paralyse it. There are two settings, mortal voltage and capture voltage, so it can be used to hunt aswell. There are 14 rounds that can be picked  up and reused.
The devise comes out of the wrist computer.
Good idea?  : )

Quoting these pics here. The original model is a 28mm scale (ish) Prodos Aliens style Warrior, there were quite a lot of tiny little details to add or remove. Obvious stuff like the feet, hands, and dome, but also smaller things like detailing on the thighs, adding the "jaw cables" etc.

That was a great custom.

Has anyone thought about using the Assassin predator to create a better scaled Engineer? Since it's a muscular body of similar proportions to the body of the Engineers, why not? Some sanding and molding over maybe and it could look great I think. That maybe one of my future projects...

That's the best looking neca alien head I've seen. Wow. Very cool. How long did it take to composite this and put it all together. Also very fascinated with 3d printers, how much does it cost you to do something like this and is it possible to make an entire figure just based off yawing the 3d printer?

Overall this was about a week of sculpting and 2 days printing different scales and tests. I know some artists who've made articulated figures in the past, but i feel that for the effort and cost of material you'd probably be better off getting an actual neca figure. 3d printing is overall an expensive hobby, and if you don't intend to learn how to 3d model the price just goes up from there.

Quote from: Leggs.obj on Nov 14, 2022, 04:48:19 PMmade a new head for an ancient xeno thats been kicking around my fodder box

Where is the head from?

I sculpted it in blender and printed it on 2 different 3d printers with 2 different kinds of resins.
That's the best looking neca alien head I've seen. Wow. Very cool. How long did it take to composite this and put it all together. Also very fascinated with 3d printers, how much does it cost you to do something like this and is it possible to make an entire figure just based off yawing the 3d printer?

Overall this was about a week of sculpting and 2 days printing different scales and tests. I know some artists who've made articulated figures in the past, but i feel that for the effort and cost of material you'd probably be better off getting an actual neca figure. 3d printing is overall an expensive hobby, and if you don't intend to learn how to 3d model the price just goes up from there.
Mind sharing the price? If not no worries

I'm not quite sure what your asking, the price of what exactly? Can you be more specific?
The cost of making the prints, not the printer itself but if you printed out one or more alien heads for instance

Each head is probably 5USD or so, but in order to fill the vat to its minimum its about 12USD. Given that there are 2 different printers running off different pieces the total is closer to 25-30$.

Thats not including, electricity, paint, consumable material costs, time it takes to make the digital model, post processing labor etc etc.

The cost of the prints themselves aren't so bad, but again 3d printing is an expensive hobby so its never JUST the cost of the printed material itself.

Man that's cool. Just food for thought if you don't already, you should make some YouTube tutorials or just film the process you use, I know I would love to see it and I feel like others would too! Very talented what ur able to do

Does anyone have experience with 3D printers? I'm thinking about investing in one and creating my own customs. That' process seems a lot easier than sculpting from scratch. I've also come to notice most of the custom predator helmets on eBay are done with this process

I heard for anyone starting with 3D printing, that there is a ton of useful material and tutorials on YouTube and specialized forums for beginners. I haven't bought and tried 3D printing yet cause it still seems a bit too complicated for me, but on the other hand, so many people are getting into it now that it can't be that complex.

I also want one for figure customization, for my human, Alien and Predator figures. Maybe even to make some vehicles in scale with my desired figures.

Same. I just want to design my own human sculpts but I'm not artistic in the sense of actually using clay and tools. Plus some scenery objects, as well as custom alien and predator heads

You still need to know how to sculpt, just digitally.

To some degree, they have a lot of random premade stuff you can buy for around 5 USD. I'm also fine with the digital stuff it's just the hands on details you have to use with those clay shaping tools.

Today I learned a more permanent way to "paint" then using paint! Lol. I discovered a more permanent plastic coloring method by using synthetic dye. It actually turns the plastic itself a different color rather than applying it to the surface. So even if an item or figure gets damaged or scratched, it will only show the newly dyed color underneath and it is absolutely permanent.

I tested it and acetone, scrubbing, soap, dish soap, alcohol and boiling water did not lessen the color once dyed. I used another predator figure when testing it. Best part is it keeps its original plastic sheen unlike acrylic paints and does not need to be sealed. Keep in mind it can cause paint bleeding so use it only on surfaces with less complex paint schemes.

As long as it's the same color all over the surface it won't cause color bleeding. So:

Step 1. Poor a small amount of black or brown dye in and mix them into a Tupperware you don't need anymore. You can also mix dye colors together before application.

Step 2. Add a little dish soap.

Step 3. Poor boiling water into it and stir.

Step 4. Dip half of the item in for 15 seconds for color gradient or drop the entire part into it for 15 seconds or a minute for darker color. You can also do it multiple times for darker effect. However you can only add to not take away so I suggest Starting light.

So I have always disliked the paint scheme on the Bad Blood Predator feet as it was basically not painted at all compared to the rest of the body. Here is before: (https://i.ibb.co/4PdF678/received-913979167119616.jpg) (https://ibb.co/TmLwVk4)
Here is what was advertised by Neca: (https://i.ibb.co/0Y4FB2p/received-334463776248252.jpg) (https://ibb.co/j30WVf9)
Here is after dye application and final product: (https://i.ibb.co/VwHvW2L/IMG-20240208-154123386.jpg) (https://ibb.co/KKN9jF5)
(https://i.ibb.co/TWP4G3n/IMG-20240208-154454323.jpg) (https://ibb.co/LN9xy7q) Lastly here is my new sewn loincloth/armor as they are notorious for breaking with age. I used a strong synthetic thread and needle and looped it through the corner plastic but far enough in to not stress it. Looped it, tied it, then tied it to the corner of the one that goes over the back end and repeated this on the other side. I Used hot water to separate the figure at the chest are and looped it over and popped the upper torso back on and voila! (https://i.ibb.co/n7GVLX6/received-904395011220535.jpg) (https://ibb.co/dPT35Nj) Now absolutely remember, you have to use the Rit Dye more synthetic not the original as it wont work well or at all. Photo for reference: (https://i.ibb.co/z77Q4Vk/received-729409879169656.jpg) (https://ibb.co/9VVcrHM) Hopefully this information helps anyone and have fun!
