Damn, that looks really nice. Diorama making is such a beautiful hobby IMO.

Have you looked into the Extreme Sets diorama pieces? The Nela Level 6 piece is great for a Hadley's Hope type environment.

Does anyone have any tips for building the inside of a Predator 2 style ship? Just got a 28mm scale Predator Gunship and I'm thinking I'll display it and the clan inside a bigger ships hanger.

Thank you! I'm going to start my predalien when I get home from work.

Anticipation.

Don't worry! You'll get progress pics. I did work out the extra dreads! I sacrificed the unmasked Fugitive Head for his mandibles and dreads. The dreads are the right texture and shape. I painted over the beads to conceal them. Now will be mixing and matching parts, sculpting, and paint.

Hmm. Photographed on Moby Dick. What does it mean...

Alright guys...this was a major pain in this ass, but here was so far. I had to fuse the neck to the body with an soldiering iron and super glue.




Thoughts?

Looks good, it's coming along!

Thanks! Did you notice how different the jaw an mandibles were?

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.

This is where I left off. Thinking he needs a few splotching details and a wash or two.

Thanks, I didn't even think about the fog.
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.

I finished him. I am very, very happy with the end result. He looks incredible. Pictures don't do it justice!
