I hope you enjoyed them.
Very cool.
Those look excellent, especially the facehuggers in the glass tubes.
That is one kickass diorama. :o Something tells me you'd be a good set builder for action figure films :P
Thanks guys.
I only made the diorama so I would have a cool place to display my figures. :)
Have you got any other locations? I'd love to see the Derelict or a hived interior of some place.
I've got pictures of some of my friends work. Give me a minute.
EDIT:
These where made by Joranthalus

Those dioramas also look excellent. Great work.
I think I've seen those before. Doesn't make them any less awesome though. :P
Facebox is officially the coolest person on this message board. Those dioramas are amazing! Like honestly, the detail put into them is spectacular. Really good work!
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.
awesome dude!. i'll post my custums up someday

Can we get some more of that Hugger?
I had it commissioned by a friend of mine called Spinksy.

Very nice.
Looks very well done. You know what'd love to see? A Ravenger or a Praetorian.
Thanks, I'd love to see a Ravager too! ;D
The hugger cost me 20 pounds, so I'm not sure howmuch a complex alien like a Raveger, or Praetorian might cost. :-\
Why don't you try doing one yourself?
I have something else planned. ;)
very nice set
Omg i know spinksy, hes from the spawn forum, omg hes selling me a chooper pred custom 8inch and a scarface pred 8 inch, o my customs.

Damn those dioramas are awesome. I want to make some now, lol.
Someone should have an alien diorama but with Predators too!!
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.

Thanks.
I don't have it assembled now, but I'll post pictures as soon as I do. ;)

Was that hugger costum made or an actual toy acssesory?
Custom made.

Custom made.
How. if you are trying to keep it a secret you do not have to tell me ;)
The base figure is the Konami Facehugger.
All the rest is apoxi sculpt. ;)
Then paint.
Here is a WIP picture:

Yup. ;)

How did you keep it to stick? Is it just super glue or whatever? :-\
It adheres its self.
No glue needed.
Apoxi sculpt ehh?
What kind of paints?
Does the parts not covered in Apoxi sculpt have to be sanded?
Do you apply a wash coat before painting?
Details man!
NIce stuff!

is it flexable?
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.

Sorry mate.
I made it myself.
I would love to build something like that, I am good a building small scale things but I would have no place to put them ???
Simply amazing FACEBOX, I'm so jealous ;D
Dude you have a talent.
How did you make the floor grids were they from another model or cut out of acrylic?
The floor is made of Under Gravel Filters, used in fish-tanks/aquariums. ;)
How in the name u make those dioramas?? ??? I'd love to put my McFarline toys in something like that ::) U make the walls out of metal or styrofome or something? If its a secret u dont have to tell.

No problem at all.
The site kinda needs an update. :-[
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.

Let me know what you think. Comments/critiques are always welcome.
Sweet, is the last 1 based on the first alien movie?
The first model is great, but the second is let down by a poor sculpt. The paint jobs on both are excellent, however. Good job indeed.
Here's my Predator Elder...

finally a pred^^ but it loooks badass, i love that elderpred desighn
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
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.

It look very nice with the right paint apps and great pics!! Thanks for sharing!

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.

Nah, it's a 6-inch figure made by Aoshima.
Jonesy is included.
All I did was pose it, and add the slime. ;)

The price depends ....because they are sold out now.

Oh, I'd like that in my collection!!!
There are a few on the American EBAY right now. ;)

Those are great!! Is that Kane figure to scale with the Aoshima Alien 1 figure?
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.
How big are they then? 4", 3.5"?
All of these are awsome.
Way to go on the backdrop. I like how your display looks.
Quote from: Private Hudson on Oct 27, 2007, 01:26:16 PM

The humans (Ripley, Astronauts) are about 5" tall. The Aliens about 7"-8" tall.
those Dioramas are excellent.
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...
somebody should paint the AVPR Predalien figure black...
Does somebody owns the Kenner's 18 inch Alien?

Hey, Facebox. Those stasis tubes look very cool and simple. What were they originally? They look like urine sample containers to me. :P
Hahaha! :D
That's the 1st time I've ever heard that one! lol
Nah, they are parts scavenged from my fish-tank filter. You know? The aquarium filters?
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.

LOL, that's pretty funny pic story. How did you custmose the Pred, it was an elder, right? Was that a John McClane figure??!!
heavily modificated legs and pred 2 body
pred 2 head for helmet (the helmet does not fit with elder's head)
elder head for unmasked
elder armor
recast from scar's helmet, lenses painted black
and a lot of patience...
and yes thats john mcClane
Sweetness ;)
Are those the smaller Hot toys?! If so, they look really good!! :o Nice custom by the way.

nope they're 1/6 scale... yeah it took a lot of patience of making that custom, but when i took the photos i forget to put pred's trophy skulls thing...
Could somebody please tell me how you would get the dreadlocks off the neca predalien as well as what kind of paint I should use to paint it.

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
Thanks a lot Iron Hide, when I have finished my custom I will post pictures so you can see it.
i want to make a costume celtic/wolf/elder FREAKING AWESOME!!!
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.
Thanks for the help Elder_Predator2, when I`m done with my custom I`ll be sure to post up some pictures.
Looking forward to seeing them.
here is work in progress...... had some extra hot toys parts laying around. still need to paint the armor to match the bio helmet.. lmk what you think!!

Looks pretty. Pretty badass, that is.
Sweet, Where did you get that helmet, you make it yourself? Or from your spare Hot Toy parts like you said?

i bought the bio helmet from a board member on the hunterslair boards. the rest of the parts are original hot toys parts. you can get these helmets from ebay.. check it..

The helmet looks odd on the predator, like its to big for the head.
Doesn't look too big to me.
God damn, the black predalien looks so awesome, makes me wish thats how she was in the movie.
^ Yeah, I actually like Chets design, but I do agree she shouldv'e been black.
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:

I wonder if I'll be able to sell it. I'm not much of a Predator fan. :rolleyes:

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.

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.
thanks for the feedback Face.. i used malebolgias arms for the leg extensions. i see what you mean about the shins.

Nice job using the arms, it looks to be coming along great!
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.
here is another custom hot toys predator. my extra special ancient predator.

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. :)
That head looks awesome. How tall is it?
Damn, nice sculpt.

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.
Same with my Predalien.
I fear customising anything incase I screw up.

when i bought mine i had always intended to mod out the dreads. so theres no way i couldve messed up. i just dont want to paint it cause thats where ill muck it up.
I wouldn't know how to remove the dreads at the sides and I suck at painting.

i also used a light to move the position of the mandibles. i think it looks alot more menacing with them kinda more angled like a preds
It does look very cool.

Jajajaja... great.... and he does not look like bob marley now...
now... you custom creator migth know how... but im a little clue less... my question is... "how could i fix Neca's wolf head??"
I heard that Johnny Handsome fixed his with something called 'green stuff'.
You can use Epoxy putty to fill in it, and then re-texture it and paint it.
has anyone tryed that? did it came out nice? XDD ajaja some pics anyone??
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:

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.
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.
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?
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.

OMG, I want it. :o You need to make some tutorials on how to paint figures like that.
I made a juvenile queen that used the neca predaliens body as my base I got rid of the dreadlocks, the mandibles, the spikes on the tail, and painted the predator coloring black as well as the dome.I just need to get a camera to take a picture with.

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.

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

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:

In the end there will be a lot structures where Aliens can camouflage themselves in - pretty much as seen in Aliens. Poor Dietrich :D
I love it. I wish I could do something like that.
I tried making a Diorama once, it collapsed. Five days of work wasted.
^^lol, why dont you cheat?
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 really like that Mandarin Predator. Great concept and execution.
But I don't get how someone's able to use such expensive collectibles as custom fodder. I don't have enough money to buy just one of those...

Wow!!! Another guy from Sweden into customs, I always thought that I was the only one. :'(
Nice figures by the way!
Were in Sweden do you buy them?
I used to buy mine from Alvglans bokhandel in Stockholm but I haven't been there for a couple of years.
These days I'm only working with 3 3/4 inch / 1:18 figures got some predator figures on the way, they are finshed but I haven't taken any photos yet.
Is it okay to post customs that ain't Predator/ Alien related?

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.

So why do they get different names?
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 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.
Though the paintjob on both figures was very nice already I thought about improving them. Well here we go:

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.

All these photos are nice! where can you buy it and how much? i'm from Singapore by the way. so if you would rougly help me calculate how much in singapore currency. thanks. I love the background. they look super real!
^ If you're talking about the diorama, you wouldn't be able to buy them as they are customs. The figures on the otherhand can be found by Google.
Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ!!! That dio is amazing. Also, I'm loving the Jehuty! Is that a custom kit or can it be bought somewhere? I've been looking to get some ZOE figs...

I'd suggest repainting the skulls to match, making them a bit dirtier and brown.

Feel free to comment :)
The mandibles looks a bit too disproportionate to the face, but other than that it looks good, the over-all physical build is pretty damn accurate.

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.

im loving the diorama. how did u do the whole complex, corridor things in all that?
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.
You should improve the head it looks like it has been stomped on the face by a 2 ton elephant-other than that its really cool-im not being rude ;)
Here is my custom it is made with epoxy, its not already finished..

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.
Great! Apart from these attention-catching blue/red spots, it's amazing!

XD yeah, I didn't have those pieces in the same color as the rest of the ship, so I had to use those.
If you haven't got other I suggest to paint the pieces. it's not a contest after all so.,.. ;)

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.

One of my favorite customs of all time! Still great work old friend, Shadow!
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....
I like the green armour.
Broken Tusk - Awesome! Anymore pics?
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...

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?

Now that's interesting. How'd ya make it?
He made it out of poliuretan foam. You know,the one used to wad windows, doors etc.
Really cool!
I bet it can be used also to "cocoon" humanoid action figures... :P
i thought it was made from rice krispie treat. i wanted to eat that ovipositor!
Looks like the queen is taking a monster sh-t.
Never posted in merch on this board before.. not sure if this is the right thread for this. But as it has custom in the title im going to roll with it
Custom Scar Predator helmet. Got a replica cast, painted it and added a wire mesh to it originally so you could see through the eyes. Since then i fashioned a make shift wall display stand, given it Predator 1 "classic" reflective visor and added some piping

Yeah I painted the teeth bright white the normal teeth were boring lol
Thank you for your nice comments!! ;D ;D ;D
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.
Oh that custom is great! when i repainted my classic alien i told you that i wanted to see your repaint.. i dont know if you remember that when you asked me how i painted the dome and make it look like it was froozen! well that was some months ago... anyways your custom looks so cool.. now it needs a base..

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..
MK got the tail on (Hopefully) still workin on the jaw tubes, OH! btw I managed to finish painting silver on the tail, it looks great now. godda post new pics soon.

Am really impressed with this. You did a fantastic job! I do think the blend between the figure head and the crest could do with being hidden slightly better though.
So i won this

that is great.. but maybe and just saying maybe is to shiny... or very silver..
i know im tempted to repaint it. im not too happy with it but the silver i bought was expensive so i want to give it a while before i consider repainting
anyways it looks cool! like a brand new helmet..
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.

oh that looks so fine is awesome!.. i like that wall a lot!! just get another and paint it red like the one in batman dead end... :D
dude thoughs Biohelmets look awsome.
I repainted my new helmet i wasnt happy with it. So i just gave it the classic solid colour after sanding it down a bit more but still leading it rugged. And also adding a shiney visor.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg835.imageshack.us%2Fimg835%2F5342%2Fspa3277.jpg&hash=0a7daae508ed61e83b6f52bee1299e034ce183a8)
it was cool anyways.. but if you wasnt happy.. there is no reason for not repaint it again.. maybe i sound repetitive but it would be so cool to have the batman dead end red predator bio... is very similar to those you have..
maybe you should paint one in the style of black, dark green, and dark red? just an idea. and give it neon-red visor.
Nevermind about the red bio custom.. cause thepredator in batman dead end looks more like anytime than scar predator..
So i won this

What did you use to paint it with?
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
That's pretty resourceful and it turned out great. Have you ever used airbrushes before on your props?

this is my custom flamethrower for my McFarland hicks I made it out of a bag of old guns from some army guys i had. :)
that Incenerator Unit looks awsome Dagger! keep it up.
I am thinking of touching up the arms of my 18" scale Alien figure.
Thanks! :)
I cant wait to see your alien after you touch the arms up. :)

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.
^ thats more than nice dude! :o
Thats fantastic!

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.
Here are some more pics I made of my Bull Alien!
sorry for the blur, cameras not that good.

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.
That second picture makes it looks really, really good, and I can't get over the fact that you did most of it yourself. You should make more and sell em. Make some cash haha.
Seriously though. It's brilliant Bakurenoh.
that is amazing man!
Awesome job Bakurenoh!

I have some parts of those ID4 aliens! i remember that they came with a game in a floppy disk.. :D
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.

;D now i remember.. it would be cool to see a predator trying to get some trophys of those guys.... or the fall of their civilization by a xenophorm infestation!
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.
I love all the customs here and as I have always wanted a macfarlane chopper predator I love that custom and the celtic predator wristblade modification these customs are amazing I would love to learn how to customize the figs?
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?)

How'd u make the bio for predators anytime?
it is the mcfarlane anytime biohelmet, isnt it?
yea its the Mcfarlane anytime helmet easy custom i know neca is making one already but couldn't wait and wasent really digging the mcfarlane anytime, but the next step is changing his wrist communicator so it has the flip action.

that would be cool! how do you change the wrist computer?
lol idk yet i was thinking like carefully cut it off the top? of the two then light glue it on? should work.. probly do it tonight post it up later

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.
Can the head come off on the NECA wolf figure? I dont wanna break it trying, because I want to remove the trophy necklace and put it on one of the predators.

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!

If I had a hair dryer I would but I dont lol, but thanks for the tip. ill try to use force and let you know how it turns out.
well in attempt to twisting the head off the string for the necklace ripped so now I need some super glue to fix it or something.

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.

Ohh I see, I wouldnt mind doing some because I would have some good ideas to be honest. It would be fun to do.
I made some custom work in one of my wolf and yeah i could disarm the figure just using some hot water.... i hate that preposed sculpt that neca gave to the wolf so in every of my wolf i wanted to pose in a different way, in some of them i could get some great poses...
yea you can make some great poses with neca's figs not really Mcfarlane fig's they look great but dont really stand? idk i really love the wolf Fig. modified it so he has two cannon's like the movie.

yeah i love my neca maked wolf.. is my fav and yes my wolf has double plasma caster too.. ;D
i was thinking between the parts that you want to connect put a piece of metal like a screw or a nail and glue the parts to the nail...
Alright Just got done with the legend!This has got to be my best and simple custom i ever made Mcfarlane's and Neca's Anytime Predator fuzed together! enjoy ( just added working wrist computer ;D)

Very, Very nice. how'd u do the wrist comp?
that was like the hardest part of the custom, i slowly cut right under the wrist computers of both the figures then just switched them. some molding was do too tho to shape it out better no super glue was really needed then added some paint apps. to it. working on my next project a battle damaged classic pred from predators by using the old Mcfarlane anytime fig. probably be done today ill post it tonight check for up dates :)
Now that looks great your own version of anytime.. it doesnt matter if neca is going to make one, because this one is different and it has the wrist computer

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.

Then you should probably go do them. ;D
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. If you take your time nothing should go wrong.
Okay, let's quit arguing. If you want an answer from the original poster Randy, then send them a PM. WolfPredator89 did nothing wrong, and was just trying to help you. You were rude. This is an open public forum, anyone is allowed to respond.
Ok i just finished my battle damaged Classic from Predators used the old Mcfarlane anytime fig. that i just do not like and added the non-opening wrist computer from neca's classic pred and used neca's classics face and molded it on to the Mcfarlane Anytime face that i got the bio mask from to make the perfect Anytime figure. and also for kicks i made a duplicate of the single bladed wrist blade from Falconer to put on Mr.black..that lil blade it came with was just crap but enjoy! ;D next custom is fixing up my Claw Predator from AVP (2010)game. wont post till next week its the weekend and time to get SH*t faced.

See, people assume one's attitude through text and usually misjudge, im not snapping, If I were you'd know it lol.. any more customs?
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.

Avp predator figs big blade(the blades that shouldn't have been on the predators in the first place?) but simple custom easily traced falconers single blade on big blade then cut with razon/box cutter. work is in progress on claw and chopper post pics soon
Kind of cheesy. Yet it was easy to do and cost nothing.
I dub him the Classic Berserker.

the predator head is awesome and the berserker jaw looks pretty cool!
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?

Untill I can get a good shot (only found 1 very blurry pic online) this will do - may not be 100% accurate but should look pretty good once painted up ;) - it's still alittle rough at minute but soon be looking ok
Awesom! My Falconer finally got posted this morning cant wait to get him.
Meanwhile, iv been working on some cannons

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.

Untill I can get a good shot (only found 1 very blurry pic online) this will do - may not be 100% accurate but should look pretty good once painted up ;) - it's still alittle rough at minute but soon be looking ok
Looks epic, Spinksy!

few customs to report
Painted Falconers falcon (still not finished)

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

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)

wow, that's an awesome falcon! I wish I could build something like that. I'm pretty disappointed they would call him Falconer but not include an actual falcon!
Falconer and his falcon reminds me of Soundwave and Lazorbeak.
^ It does to lots of people.
Falconer's Helmet looks a little like Soundwave's head. other then that, I mean. its just uncanny.
these figures look amazing. I hope I can get a hold of some of these figures myself.
i customized the wolf a little bit..added the whip, the bandolier full of mines and another shuriken and i made the blue bottle, it is translucent and made of glass..

I would have liked to see an action figure line from the game.
mostly done now. Just need to fiddle with the casters a bit and maybe add something to the tips of the dreads.

man, the talent you guys have! My big ol' hands and chubby fingers could never produce something so awesome!
I`ll wait for proper photos of falcon before attempting to make one for myself. Oh and I still hope NECA will relese one with predator dog.
That's.... awesome. Definitely not what I thought it was. Chapeau.

are you selling one of these on ebay?
Yeah, same question here.
nope, don't have materials for another one - it's my birdy :D
And what about such great looking Berserker?
i take propositions in consideration ;)
My latest bio design. Whipped it up in about 20 minutes (which you can probably tell from the quality)

The jawbone had an accident while i was trying to remove it and my printer is out of ink >_>

Quick touch up for wolf. The original made him look like he was balding as opposed to a pattern. nothing special.
nice job. These fgures need such touch-ups.

ya I'd happily pay another $5-10 per figure if they came with the kind of paint jobs you guys are doing.

looks better now!
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?

Yep, metallic bronze with some black washes.
That should do the trick.
Thanks for the help. :)
I'd rather say black and drybrush with metallic. will look exactly like bsp armor.
I've never done any customizing before and would like to ask you guys a question. I'm thinking I would like to switch the heads on my Mcfarlane Pred 2 and Predeator the Hunter. Anyone done this before? It seems more logical to have the battle damaged Pred doing the screaming instead of the unhurt one. Any tips or should I just go to yanking the things off?

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...

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!!

i like how the p2 mask fit in the elder head.. it gives to him a more classic look and not that avp one.
BadBlood, that Predator is fantastic, absolutely fantastic. If I had some spare funds, I would so buy it off of you. :(

That is an awesome figure!!!! Beautiful!! Too bad it's not for sale. Looks like i will need to wait for NECA's Elder in 2011. ::)

McF's Pred is H O R R I B L E !
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

No, you are correct.
pussyface. my favorite design. Neca, i hope you heard this. We want him badly.
I'd personally prefer a good Pussyface over another Anytime variation. Dont get me wrong, i love anytime's design, but theres already heaps of variations available.
This is WIP picture of something i am making for my predators.... sorry for the bad quality of the pic, i couldnt take a good photo yet...

Ok. I put the final layer of gloss on the Berseker. All I can say is what a sculpt. This figure is fantastic. Hopefully I was able to do it justice with my paint application. Let me know what you guys think:

Wow! :o the best berserker repaint i have seen! i love the black details! yeah now it looks ten times better! how did you do to paint him? what materials? paints? some info please!
Cool!! Love the work on your Berserker.
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)

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!

Another great custom dude.
Were you able to just swap out the Wolf legs and the Falconer legs?
Or did you have to do something else?
Thanks
Yes, I just swap their legs with no trouble at all

This is EXACTLY what I wanna do to my Beserker and FAlconer Predators down the road. I wanna give them a classic styled plasma caster and medpack, like the one you used. What color pain did you use?

Has anyone considered getting the Series 2 Berserker and re-color his head to match Tracker or Falconer?
I'm more interested in just seeting how they'd look than customize one myself just yet.
that's one nice idea. I'd like to see that.
Nooowww you got me thinking ;)
I would like to see that! but i am not going to do that..
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.

This is the type of articulation NECA should be doing.
forreal huh but i think they go for the realistic movie accurate sit on your shelf look.. :-[
I think the neca preds are nice just the way they are...
yea like to much articulation could lead to problems you know? just look at the Mcfarlane preds something broke off of all three preds :-[ at least for me.. and it also could be poor manufacturing.. but thank GOD nothing has happen to any of my NECA preds only the plasma caster on my classic broke off but easy fix..

Not when you compare the Predators to some of their Player Select figures.
Yeah my mcfarlane predators also broke off in some places. But most Mcfarlane figures even without articulations can be easily broken off.

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

Let me know what you think guys, your feedback helps me improve.
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
Yeh i apply a layer of gloss to the skin after its done. It doesn't turn out too good in pictures, but it looks a lot better in person after the gloss is applied. I need to get a good camera, mine really struggles unless its outside during the day :(
wow i love it ;D you've done an awesome job there and i like the way the gloss makes the skin look all slimy ;)

oh, yes. i completely understand, had the same problem with my old camera.
Looks great!
AWESOME!!!
Well this is my Falconer's Falcon 2.0 i call it the "Plasma Falcon" i didnt try and do a movie accurate Falcon because that is waay to complex for me so I pulled this off cause i really liked the idea of the Falcon being a plasma caster ;D but I hope you like what i done so far took a day to make with the paint process and it really attaches to his Shoulder! still fixing it up check back for updates hope you enjoy ;)

And sry for the blurry pics.. yea i need to get a better camera >:(
If falconer would have a plasma caster, it would be somethin like that... that is cool!
Great job man. 10 points for creativity too.
Smart innovation. I love how it folds, reminds me of Laserbeak from some Transformer series.
Not a figure, not really a model but i did spend hours working on it so whatever it is its Predator and i customed it!

Had it fully done for around a week now. But only in the last 30 minutes have i managed to revive my pc's ability to read my mobile phone so i can take the pictures off.
Now thats fantastic! Looks better than the actual movie mask. 10/10!
Ok new custom. The falconer's paint is pretty good out of the box, but I wanted to make it a little better. I dont know if its 100% movie accurate, but I just worked to a level I was happy with.

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.
Nice work there,liking the colouring on the chest
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
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..
Yeh i agree that paint looks horrible, but gives me a challenge. Can't wait to see more of your great work too mate!

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.
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
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.
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!
A slight customisation I did earlier ;)

nah - although i did repaint his face awhile ago!
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

great! the predators looks better with the closed jaws
nah wasnt just the hot water trick - it involved some very carefull cutting and altaring with a scapel - then just glued it in place. ;)
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'll post more pics once its completed. Hopefully I can get my hands on a decent camera by then instead of using my crappy $89 camera.

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.
Here's the classic fully armoured. I gave him Macfarlane Anytime's trophies.

change the dreads color and personally-i would change the red area on his head-maybe some greenish colour would fit falconer design,but despite that-nice works-classic repaint looks 100times better
you can see in the one pic that he his head markings are pinkish.
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:

Wow, that is a fantastic paint job! I love that last picture, it looks as if you took it straight from the film as they are really accurate repaints. Brilliant!
Wow Tony, you outdid yourself with this one! simply amazing! did you drybrushed all over the body or you made every single black spot?

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
oh okay. any particular brand of paint you'd recommend for custom-painting figures?

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.
The wip pic of the "Fox predator" still a lot to do with this custom...

Next i will repaint him...
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.

Its basically Battle damaged Unmasked Wolf, with the AVP Elder cape using Berserker's Loin cloth. The spear and shield are from Mcfarlane "Lord of Darkness" box set. I plan to paint the armor an antiqued brass color as well as add more dark color to wolfs head and body.
THIS IS AVPR!!!

Wolf's armour is just right to make it a "spartan" pred, pretty cool i must say!

Gladiator berserker :D
Finally got paints and went to work on my Spartan predator. I picked up neca's Ephiatese from 300 for $5 bucks and used his shield.

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 think I love you now
Thats just....awesome
I suppose this is the right place for this question seeing this is where I will post my pics when I'm done. 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...
great job! i did exactly the same thing, but made body more greenish instead of grey. can't wait to see the other two.

wow that is beautiful, did you drybrushed all over the torso or you made every black spot separately...?
looks like a drybrush to me.
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.
Wow man you did an awesome job! i cant wait to see it finished!
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...

Looking damn good there mate ;)
Hi there I've managed to get some pics of my repainted Tracker, some of it may not notice (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg690.imageshack.us%2Fimg690%2F7701%2Fdscn1548v.jpg&hash=099f4fb700c2eddce873fc6dd88eaea23c665219)

The last 2 pics are taken 1 with a flash 1 without and sorry they also rotated back?
The armor looks much better!
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'll be starting on Tracker and Falconer soon, should be fun.
looks good - i also changed the strap on my Berserker. (really don't know why neca did that wrong)!
okay, here's mine for comparsion:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg26.imageshack.us%2Fimg26%2F3193%2Fberserkerw.jpg&hash=b266e4aac675f247c07453dc589d7372978c1685)
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:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliensgroup.pl%2Fgallery%2Fsets%2F543%2F3-original.jpg&hash=5bba37e2ec58df5d05ed8734267bc3fedcb255f9)
next ones will be the unmasked berserker and tracker.
Your Falconer is superb! Well done! Do you have any larger photos of the berserker? Its a bit hart to see the details from that pic.
2500x1000 is too small? ;)
here's another one, before i added the leather strap on his right shoulder:

My bad. For some reason my browser wouldnt enlarge it. Looks great! Love the detail!
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.
dude, i didn't want to compete with you ;) personally i think everyone who tries it himself and likes the result is the winner.
can't wait for your falconer.
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.
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.
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)

pics are not so good, but i hope you'll like them anyway ;)
They look fantastic, uruk. Great job. :)
I think that uruk, Ghostface and Invisiblelimits have the best Neca Berserker predators outhere...
Uruk that predalien repaint is awesome, the best i have seen! i thin after seeing that nowbody can say that the predalien figure is a bad figure...
Oh man thats definately some of the best work Ive seen around here.

That looks really good, the colour scheme is similar to a tiger, was that the intention?
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.

I thought you were doing the falconer head... but i am very interested in seeing how a berserker tiger predator would look!
Hi again just a few pics of my repainted Unmasked Berserker and of all repainted NECA Preds(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg254.imageshack.us%2Fimg254%2F8646%2Fdscn1568y.jpg&hash=bfec894cd6cdf54f22f895750de803bd2cbf18d1)

It's all I'll be doing for now, enjoyed painting them and a first for me to
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. :)
Wow great to see this thread really taking off again! Great work everyone!
Uruk as usual mate, fantastic work. Absolutely flawless. 'Nuff said ;)
Glaive10 I love your line up of repaints! great work!
NJM1983 I cant wait to see your tiger finished! Great idea and very original.
InvisibleLimits Your berserker is incredible, I cant wait for the others!
And also WolfPredator89 did you ever finish that falcon?
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...

Wow great to see this thread really taking off again! Great work everyone!
Uruk as usual mate, fantastic work. Absolutely flawless. 'Nuff said ;)
Glaive10 I love your line up of repaints! great work!
NJM1983 I cant wait to see your tiger finished! Great idea and very original.
InvisibleLimits Your berserker is incredible, I cant wait for the others!
And also WolfPredator89 did you ever finish that falcon?
:D i just need to paint it.. i am geting some tamiya paints because i will try to paint my berserker...
Great! Cant wait to see it!
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.

Im hoping at some point to get good enough to repaint my masked zerker to be more movie accurate - I really like the Hot toys color scheme. Many of you guys have done fantastic jobs at recreating the look from the films and hot toys.
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!!!
good going!
just mix a tiny bit of black with some clear and go over it an it'll being out the great sculpt lines as uruk said 8)
wow! love the coloration on that!

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

woow!, now that's a good custom made from scratch right?, incredible dude
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.

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.

The Berserker Predator looks great and you've made him look more meaner with closed mandibles. I really like your photographs especially this picture. Great work!

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! How'd you do it anyway, just heating it up, or was there cutting involved? Or if it's a trade secret I understand! ;)
I love your custom Berzerker. f**king awesome! Last picture is so hardcore.

Ok, so here's what I've got done so far on little ole' falconer buddy. I got lazy on the legs, and they're just sitting here, er, standing... The last pic looks weird, it was with my old camera (just got a new one!) He'll be done soon, and I'll get a few proper pictures of the little bastard.
Looking GREAT so far dude.

hey thanks for the kind words! he'll be done soon, and i'll post some pics of him chillin' with bro-seker. in the mean time i thought i'd share this custom helmet stand i made for a friends hot toys berserker. it's made almost entirely out of junk from where i work... not sure how happy i am with it, but the guy i made it for will love it.

oh and the bone fragment things that hold the helmet in place are off of a pine cone.

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!
Brilliant work ghostface - looks ace!
Think I may have to do that when I eventually get mine!
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!
Looking fantastic so far. :)
wow, wolf looks awesome. if you'd repaint him, that would be one of the best things i've seen.
Agreed man that Wolf really is awesome!
Yeah, that looks awesome. I may have to try that out myself, it looks really great.
You should show this to @NECA_TOYS on twitter, they would probably love it.
i don't know if you guys could see the first two pics cause i changed its location in my folders on photobucket so im re posting it and thanks for the comments! :)more customs to come after this repaint

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.

Wow. That is freakishly awesome.
I would love to see you custom paint the NECA unmasked Berserker.
Are you doing any other custom paint jobs on NECA A/P figures?
Great work InvisibleLimits !
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...

Those repainted Predators are really good and so is the Falcon too!
that falcon is good!!
Hey, thanks guys! I'm actually working on a second mini falcon, trying to make a more movie accurate one. I'm going to keep which ever one I'm happier with, and give the other one away. So I need to find a home for one eventually.
I`ll gladly take care of him ;D

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?

thanks, that's all from me.
Hey guys. I decided to make my NECA Berserker abit taller to make him more movie acurate:

I think it worked out pretty well ;) Now I have to repaint him (or find someone to do it for me) :-\
Great idea - from what I can see you added alittle to his waist?
looks good!
Yes I did and I know it`s noticable. But at least it presents well witho other preds.
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 ;)

Nice falcon!
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!)

Great customs everybody, BTW, awesome work!
Awesome!
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?
I customized the classic predator into Anytime... and some pics of the finished falcon.

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.
Did you dry brushed it or painted each spot separately? I`m asking cause I`m going to repaint my BSP and I need reference material to achive best effect.
if this is drybrushing, then i'm a very bad drybrusher ;)
Yeah I thought so. I used to paint Warhammer figures few years ago so I`m not that new is thos matters but still it was few years ago ;)
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

Nice, but you don`t have to post every pic in different post ;)
ok im new to this but i figured it out now.
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?

great job on the 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.

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!
can't wait, you're doing absolutely great job on this.
Fantastic job Invisible Limits. ;D
:o Whoa... InvisibleLimits... that is some dedication. Looks really sweet man.
I don't know what to say InvisibleLimits... you're amazing. Can't wait to see the 'finished product'. ;D
Are you going to give away some material used and techniques? ;D
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.
Ok two things IL
1. Please tell me everything you did to it! Please?!?
2. Are you going to do a custom paint job on Tracker?
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!

Why exactly does it warn not to take off the mask?
Is it unable to go back on afterwards?
how could you ignore the instructions!? ;D
fantastic job dude. hats off to you.
Impresive... This is just beautifull.
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:

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!
Is this how the face looks inside the helmet?

Damn man that pred is awesome :o
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...

Yeah man that was my initial inspiration.
i wanted it but couldn't afford the price for it plus wanted it to articulate.
Custom figures battle: Predator vs Punisher
Predator was made from ML blackheart body, Falconer head, wolf hands & legs
Punisher was made from mostly Black phanter, ultimate cpt. america, Nick fury, Ml3 Punisher & others

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.
Nice custom work Sanjuro04....great one with the combined parts finished of well.
looks dope
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!

She the Mcfarlane movie maniacs 6 Queen? ;D Thinging of gettting one myself I've got the Dog Alien.
yea i got the queen for a steal on ebay only 32.00$ new in the box and i recently won a brand new stelth celtic pred for 24.00$ i couldnt believe it but i will post more pics when my diorama is complete i cant wait for the lost preds to release..
long time no see, guys.
here's my latest work, avp 2010 predator custom. that's my first try at fully customized figure, so please don't kill me. i know it has a lot of flaws and the netting is missing (can't figure a good way to make it) but overall is not that bad i hope.

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!
Thats awesome dude!

As you can see I both repainted and resized him to more closely resemble screen counterpart. Coments much appreciated! ;D
Really cool work Master, I like the custom paintskin, a little subtle green tones and he'd be perfect!
I really liked the AVP game 2010 predators design and the future looks like there wont be a line of those predators featured as figures so i took matters in my own hands and tried to make one of my own i already made one but it wasent all that great but heres an update of my predator from the game.. enjoy ;)

almost done!
Try making the additions to the mask not stick out like that and it'll be almost spot on
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.
Yea I have scar and Celtic but I don't wanna ruin them lol and I know the predator had the same kinda packs I just used the exta wolf pack I had to make it so yea the fig is not complete accurate I just used whatever I had

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.
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
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.
Scarpredator14
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.
Yeah a picture would be nice.
Not too blurry like the others though lol. :D
Taraka
Yea dude just take a pic of it and it's ku that the neck for the caster is missing I just need the caster and the pack I'm ku with five bucks for it tho and uh USPS is probly the cheapest to send it
alrighty then. pm me and I'll send you my paypal info and ill send it asap.
Well I've started working on my 1986 Neca alien she's coming around pretty nicely.
I've got the dome done the dorsal fins I'm working on now.
Dorsal fins? lol

More work I've been working on my 18'' Neca Alien gave her some touch ups. :laugh:
Got one problem I brought a Tamiya Paint gun metal she started of black so I used it as a body paint but after a few other she turned metal grey rofl so now I have 2 buy some back paint. Damn :(
ooohh...thats the 7" ALIENS warrior. I didn't know what you meant by 1986 NECA alien.
Looking good. Can't wait to see it finished.
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:

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:
Camera - Canon EOS 1000D
Exposure Time 1/30 sec.
ISO Speed - 1600
Focal Length 20mm

He's like check out my ass bitch.
Could you post some close up pictures that aren't against a lit up background? I honestly can't see a difference in those pictures.
Nice you fixed the problem that I hated the most about grid. :laugh:

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
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
Thanks
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
Excellent, Excellent!
A very nice custom indeed.
Thanks samoht
glad U like it
Nice custom work m8.
Ah there we... Those are thigh pa- you made me think they were knee pa-
Either way great custom.

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.
This is my first custom =D
All i wanted to do is to make Unmasked Berserker a little bit different from the masked version...

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 :)

diorama im working on more to come
nice collection of facehuggers :o
thanks i just need to finish the background for my diorama im up for any tips if anyone has ever done a aliens dio
Wow!!! That Alien Diorama looks amazing!! Love to see close up pics!! Well done!
I need a loose movie maniac queen for my diorama set. Don't think I'd like to open the one I've already got.
i understand i opened mine because when i got it the box had alot of shelf wear so i said wat the hell and opened it but i like to let my figures breathe but i always keep the packaging ;D
Yep good idea keeping the packaging. My queen it's box also has some shelf wear but nothing worth opening it. ;)
yeah mine was all messed up but i didnt care i wanted the figure not the box and i got it for a steal 30.00 bucks on ebay and i had been looking for one for the longest but they wer a bit pricey.
I got mine for USD $99.00 but was $92.00 AUS. They go for $187 tad expensive I think. I'll be waiting for awhile for one cheap.

the celtic skull wall looks like the back of the scar vs queen avp playset
I remember them when the figures were released. I always wondered why they didn't come with the figures.
u took my words. i almost email the company and demanded my base.
has anyone bought one from them i want to but i dnt know if its legit
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!

I would have liked the colour to be more lighter but this is all I could go with at the time.
nice custom!
hey guys this is my first (and only ) custom as of now its mainly a tweaking of the mcfarlane scar predator to give him interchangeable accessories i hope you guys like the mods http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/13/img3523hp.jpg/ (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/13/img3523hp.jpg/)
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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 for lookin... :)
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.

Now onto the head conversion. :)
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! :)
I tore up the Elder's loin cloth in the back. I think it adds a subtle touch to the old look....
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi281%2Fadegregorio%2FElder%2520Predator%2520NECA%252018%2520inch%2FIMG_0714.jpg&hash=17c4ee095c921f91a9511ff6b7b6ea8b50c71a0a)
OK, WIP pics of the head coming soon. :)
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.

Flatened out the ridges a little more. It was a bit too high.

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...
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.

nice job.
yes it looks great cant wait to see it finished
Thanks guys, glad you like it... 8)
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. :)

f**k, how does this have such a small amount of comments? You're doing a f**king fabulous job, man.
I'll say! This thing is a masterpiece! :o
You've totally transformed his head to look like the elder. The detail is awesome as well. What did you use? An exacto knife or something?
Amazing job. I'm gonna drool a little when I see it painted, I just know it. :laugh:

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.

Thanks for lookin guys. :)
Wow this looks awesome! Good to see some really creative customs in such a large scale! Looking forward to see Joe's touches.
Holy shit thats bloody awsome mate hard work pays off.
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.
Bloody brilliant job. Hats off.
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.

Very interesting concept. Unsettling seeing those spikey boobs. Wouldn't wanna grab them. Some other fantastic work on there as well. You're obviously very talented.
Thankyou Hicks :)

Really nice work, I love the background for those pics.
Im doing a custom pred, and got to the part where i have to paint him, but i was wondering if you guys use paintbrush or airbrush when you paint yours figures

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.
Havent made a custom for a while. Decided to make Machiko Noguchi in the same scale to match with my Neca preds.

How did you do that?
I used the Macfarlane Tiffany 2 figure as the base then just used parts from Macfarlane P1 & P2 with a bit of epoxy sculpt.
Well....VERY GOOD JOB!
Really good.
The only thing that might need some change, is perhaps the face, so that it looks a little more "asian".
Still, really really good.

Yeh you're right. I'm planning on doing some touch ups. I also plan on adding trophies and jewelry too.

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.
Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm imagine I'll be posting more when the Lost Predators come out. ;D
I'm speechless!!! This really came out better than I thought. Joe and his ability to paint like this mesmerizes me. Unbelievable!!!
Thank you Joe for another outstanding paint job to add to my collection.
I really hope NECA makes one of these for you guys. :)
Stay tuned all you pred headz for more progress pics. Once Joe ships this back to me, I will put all the finishing touches on it and modify it a bit...hair, beads, bones, netting, etc...

Just amazing! And that's an understatement. Wow.
Bro, that is just the best! Cant imagine how it could be any better. Joe did great at painting, but as an artist and sculptor myself, I tip my hat to you! Your patience and skill with that sculpt made it easy to paint. I salute you sir!
Thanks guys!!! I actually had fun sculpting the needed parts. But it was hard to picture it all together without the paint.
And I knew that the only one who could make it come alive was Joe.
He did an amazing job capturing the look of that Elder.
:) :)
That is truly amazing.
But where did the netting go?
never noticed the missing body net. anyway very awesome custom!

When I get this back from Joe, I will add all the necessary items to finish him off.
Hair extensions, beads, bones, netting, etc...
Glad you guys like him. :) :) :)
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. :)

Yeah but I thought the netting came sculpted onto the figure ???
Necas 1:4 scale preds have actual real netting, not sculpted to the body like the 7".

I'm speechless!!! This really came out better than I thought. Joe and his ability to paint like this mesmerizes me. Unbelievable!!!
Thank you Joe for another outstanding paint job to add to my collection.
I really hope NECA makes one of these for you guys. :)
Stay tuned all you pred headz for more progress pics. Once Joe ships this back to me, I will put all the finishing touches on it and modify it a bit...hair, beads, bones, netting, etc...

almost finished let me know what u think and yes 1/4 elder epic custom
I absolutely love the Alien skull on WOLFS back.
I like how the ground is covered with skulls.
and i like how wolf is standing - like he's pooping ::)
lol
We can all thank neca for the shitting in the woods pose but the wolf is still a cool figure
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.
Cheers.
Love that epic pose he's in.
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).
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.
Alright guys! I finally have some pictures for you! ^_^
Here are some of the sculpting process.

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.

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!
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.

almost finished with the pwl does any one know how to wire a led for this kit or have any ideas
something tells me ripley's screwed.
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.
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.

More pics soon... :)
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.

Same steps as above for the beads...

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.
:)
I am very truly impressed TO THE MAX adegregorio! You and Joe made a sweet combo-custom-figure! ;D ;D ;D
Im speechless! This is amazing! Good Job Man!!
Shiiiiit daaaaamn wooow its damn awsome!
Here is my custom Elder. Both arms snapped at the elbow as soon as I took it out of the box so I decided to copy adegregorio's idea and give him the signature pose.

Thats really awesome Tony.
Kinda looks like he's doing the westside symbol lol.
Great job man.
Can't wait to get my elder and repaint him.
Shyeah, it does too!
No east side the best! No west side is da best! No east side is da best! No east side is da best! No west side is da best!- Oh shit...
Alright, what I've got here is my creation due to boredom.
Just a simple beserker repaint, it's not finished but I want to know if I'm going in the right direction inregards to actual movie accuracy. (Hard to find pics.)

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.

@ Ghostface, are the elders elbows fixable at all?
If I got one and its elbows broke, would it be possible to fix? I reckon I could fix it, depending on how it broke.
The grey looks right (looks better in person), I just need to put on the brown patterns and the red and black spots. Thanks for the link!
It'll help a lot.
If anyone is looking for in scale human skull trophies for the 8 inch NECA Predator figures, go to Micheals craft stores, they are carrying Skull beads in the Halloween section and they are an almost perfect scale, I grabbed 2 bags yesterday to build my display stand for a custom Pred that I'm working on.
I'll post some pics in a little while.
@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.
@Overhaulimus. Link?
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.

Oh right. I was thinking that I could pin the joint.
Looks great! Pity the Mcfarlane predator heads are just a tad too big. =/
I love the chopper-like skull feature!
I apologize for people interested in my AVP predator not showing any updates, just not much done to it really! xD
Here's what I've been amusing myself with:
Custom Berserker paint job. (Need to get the lightbrown and red dots then its done)

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.
Berserker looks waaaaay better than the original now.

Here is my custom Elder. Both arms snapped at the elbow as soon as I took it out of the box so I decided to copy adegregorio's idea and give him the signature pose.

Outstanding custom job bud! :)
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.

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.

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

dude...damn.....can i call you god?....daaamn
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.

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.

My god man..... when does it end??? looks magnificent.
Just amazing....
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. :)
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.
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.
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. :(

Looks great bud, really cool! Don't stop now, get those armbands on!!! :P
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. ;)
Awesome! Love it!
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.

Brilliant job! Looks amazing!
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.
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.
Here's a sneak peak at my "custom" Celtic Predator head, which I'm personally calling the Hunter mask. AVP fans will get it. ;p

lookin good, cant wait to see the final
Completely forgot to update. I repainted the armor as suggested. I did a really dark grey base then I used a dry brush with chrome silver on it.
Here's a few pics. OH and I made some weapons. :P

Isn't fully painted but hey, I'd love to know what you guys think to this godly weapon. xD

Maul. (I totally didn't steal anyones idea - cough cough- )

And just standing there. :)
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!
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.
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. :)
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

also, try uploading the pic somewhere else, photobucket doesn't seem to like you :laugh:
Cor someone's had their weetabix this morning, it's supposed to sound like something NECA would come up with, but thanks for the heads up bub!
Yeah I can't see the picture.
Thanks when I previewed it the pic was there?
don't take it too seriously dude, just kidding around ;) waiting to see this one, i'm curious about the jawbone...
Intredasting.....
maybe upload to imageshack
Right let's try again hope it's fixed, enjoy

Hah! Looks quite nice actually for a Super Predator! Might use that for a back bone for a new super predator character im designing.
So i made this good looking pred from a hottoys pred with greenstuff so it has a cool looking face, (build the jaws from greenstuff) but im still in the paint phase gah any one know what paint and airbrush i should get for painting it and any one know if theres any vid on youtbe that explain how to use that airbrush
thx invance
Finished the repaint on of the beserker predator, will post pics when I cba to upload them.
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 :)

Amazing!!! Truly stunning piece of work. Do you have facebook? You NEED to post these images on NECA's facebook page so that all the amazing feedback convinces NECA to make one for the rest of us!
Holy cow daaaamn its looks sweet !!
Thanks guys, glad you like him. :)

Nice work dude :)
That Berserker is awesome. Now why did Neca gave the released Berserker a crappy paint job?

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 :)

Nice work bro!
Thank you very much Ghostface, not sure if in future may repaint the body and legs but am happy with it at the moment. Do you have any plans to repaint this figure?
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?
Yeah thanks for your input as that is exactly what I thought after doing it, think I may go back to it to match the body colourings with the head ;)
no problem, and yeah, i think you should :)
added some new stuff closer to being complete

This is getting better by the minute :)
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.)

i'll try to get some pictures with normal light later.
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!
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)

This looks great. It actually inspire me even more to mkae a Predship backdrop for my lost tribe, and not just that, but to insert red/orange LEDs to light the set up too!
Shadow, i'm gonna give a try at the background maquette too... let the show begin ;D
Dunno if i should post it here, but what happent to the page www.modelzone.com? (http://www.modelzone.com?)? i can no longer see the page
nm the page is back :D
Finally have made a video for a custom predator I did a few pages back.
enjoy! And be sure to know there are more on the way. :)

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.

Thanks for looking.
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

Thank you, Sir :)
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.
Thats awesome!!!
Could you take some daylight photo's though?
Really love the work, what paints did you use? They had a really nice finish.
Take some day light pictures, I know I'll be repainting my city hunter and my gort city hunter (to look more like gort)
Nice work you have done AlienSpeedMetal. That's what i was expecting from Neca but didn't get.
I was.
I would get the Tracker mask personally (Always loved him since Predators came out)

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.
That is awesome! way better than the mask ;D I'd love to see 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.

Thanks! Yeah, I did City Hunter a couple days ago. There are better photos of him one page back in this thread.
Looking fantastic. I love the fine job on the head pattern.
Cool looking Predators bro 8)
Oh god!
He looks so much better.
Nice paint job there mate.
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.
Just finished making a custom mask for my revoltech predator. The original one looks too big
Also made some accessories recasted from Neca's classic predator & added small skeletons taken from Microman & Hottoys keychain predator

I'm just blown away :o
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

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?

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

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!
GO NECA!

I really want to but I can't get hold of it :D
I have just made a minor modification to my wolf predator...
I customized the plasma caster so it can be more movie accurate..

The cannon still have the original articulation...
Looking good, how'd you modify it? I'm curious of the technical parts.... so I can maybe do that too. I noticed your whip has a loop so it can be wound to his hip. I did that too!

Just wanted to share a custom Im working on, its slow going since I really want this guy unique. I would really like some feed back.

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.
That looks (and sounds) like it's going to be awesome, can't wait to see it finished. I love the idea of fur on a pred 8)
hmm, remove that thing he holds in the left hand. i hate when people do these huge whatever-they-are blady weapons... my 5 cents ;)
Well in its defense its not as big as it looks. Its only about the same length as the predator 2 spear.
I like that blade, I didn't even notice it before :D
Some sculpting I did last night.

What did you make the vest with ?
I used apoxie sculpt. Aves studio sells it. All the fur type areas are crafted from it as well. I use my hands to mold and shape then use sculpting tools to fine tune and apply greater details.
I think It's gonna look awesome 8)
Looks very neat. I am sure it will look cool when it's ready.

Thanks very much, its coming along slowly.
More time you put into it the better it'll be 8)
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.

feel free to give me feed back. I plan on doing the Mantis Alien, Snake Alien, Flying Alien, Couger Alien, and Rhino Alien. I have a Alien Resurrection figure I'm turning into a praetorian.
Nice work, I think it looks ace.
Oh my goodness!
After a long absence from the forums I can see you guys have been kept busy.
Sweet baby Jesus predator! Keep up the fantastic work guys.
I liked a suggestion someone said for a custom, doing a new Elder on a predator 2 body.
I may take that up once I've finished some other projects that are well over due. (:
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
I plan to fully disassemble my custom for paint. Its using the city hunter body. Though I haven't tried removing the legs yet.
hey guys. long time no see :)
here are my brand new repaints: City Hunter, P1 and Elder. take a look and leave some feedback :) i used a lot of reference from set pictures to make them as accurate as possible.

funny thing is, that most companies are not aware that Wolf's skin color is actually greenish, not yellow - maybe that's because there's really not much reference pictures out there...
Hey uruk you should post some pics of your entire collection, with those new custom preds.. i like how you have your preds displayed in your cabinets...
thanks! this teaser has to do for now - my camera just died. gonna take some more pictures tomorrow and put them up in the collection thread :)

i only left my repainted preds and all their additional accessories and heads on display to conserve space. rest of the decapitated bodies are in their boxes on the wall :laugh:
^ Holy crap! What a mighty fine collection you got there, uruk.
thank you very much. that's not the whole thing, as said earlier, more pictures tomorrow.
:o
Uruk is no man! That collection is gigantic!
I truely am jealous of your efforts. ^__^
Thanks for the PM, maybe I'll make a custom Wolf and paint it too. Always liked wolf.
DAMN your collection is so nice and organized. I'm humbled. My crap is all over the place.
Beautiful colection! and thank you! i was looking foward to see new pics, thanks!
Anyone know how to take off the underarms of the NECA 1/4 predator? I'm making a custom Red Predator and they have to be switched for the gauntlet to be on the correct arm, but I'm not sure if it's possible...

Yes sir, will do! ;D
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 :)
Very impressive customs. Also, try not to post too many posts than you need to.
Hey thanks John. I'm new so I just wanted to get my work so far out there. Posts will not regularly be so frequent like that. Thank you for the compliment, as well as the advice! :)
No problem, man. ;)
Uruks repaints are really great, but its sad too see that all 7" Predators needs a repaint too look good. >:(
^ Agreed :-\
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.

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.

I have more, but I'm thinking about touching up some of them, so I'll post them later. Not to mention some newer ones I'm working on as well.
Those are epic. I have no words for that dragon alien...Just awesome.
You have a talent for creating amazingly unique customs!
Awesome dragon alien!

Here's a few more.
A repaint of the Kenner Scorpion Alien which I painted like the Red Xenomorphs from Aliens: Genocide.

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

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.

Hey guys, I was planning on doing a custom AVP alien drone in the neca scale....from scratch. And I really am determined to do it too, I just need to find a tutorial on creating the initial figure, I know how to make the molds of it, but I just need some kind of....advice, so if anyone could help It would be really appreciated :D
Hi there.
I always wanted to do a custom figure, but never had the opportunity.
When I get P2 masked/ half cloaked Berserker two pack from Neca I gained a spare body. So why not try to make a custom.
I am making my OC Predator-Hate

you surely need a better camera, but i can't say that's turning out bad. in fact, looks pretty cool at this stage. ;)
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:

I did a little bit to his arms and stomach too just for fun
Thanks for lookin!
anything that's not neca's paintjob is better. i don't really get the dark spots on his chest, but i like the head. keep it up.
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!
Those look real nice. I like the last one especially. looking forward to seeing how you paint em up.

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.
There is some really cool stuff on here!

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:

Best I've seen yet..
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.

Here's another custom i'm working on , so far this has a re-sculpted rear cranium to look more like the OG jockey,i've also extended the waist about an inch higher.added a neck collar and higher shoulder design as well as the breathing tube continued in front like the original. i am planning on extending the lower legs and feet, and adding a massive back carriage pack. also considering a re-paint more bone like and weathered ?

thx invance
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.

This thread is full of great stuff!! Once I have some stuff finished I'll share it
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.

Nice job! :o I love the body netting!
If I may ask, how did you get the quills onto the Predator's face? And what material did you use for the quills? Thanks!

Custom paint job on my NECA warrior:
Man I have so much respect for all these customs, I wish I was able to do something like this.
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.

thanks alot yea u should make one

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
the reverend, Monstuh great work the pair of you, truly great work, the reverend, really liked your dioramas, the alien eggs espacialy good. Monstuh your fifield could be packaged and sold from neca, its that good, perfect pose too. well done to you both.
Stalker predator, still have a bit of paint work to do on his right arm.
Thanks Leon. I like the modified Stalker. Great use of existing materials. Did you sculpt the tusks?

the helmets really sell the figure!
how did you make them dude?
Awesome job on the Marines! :o If I may ask, what arms did you use for the Ash Marine figure?
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.
ALIENS Ripley custom WIP!
That Ripley is pretty great, how'd you do the shoes?
Thanks , the pants and shoes are repaints of the Kyle Reese figure and the rest is portal chick w modified hair

:) ;) The pants and shoes are great. I guess you couldn´t do more for the face due there´s almost no figure based in the actress but anyway your custom is well done.
Here's my new set up, still waiting for my Hicks and Hudson to arrive!

That is amazing! That predator looks bad ass great job on the paint schemes as well really came out nice man!
Nice customs, guys!
Does anyone on here know where i could find some plastic "grating" or "fencing"?

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!

its the berserker head, I cut out a smal section from inside the mouth, dipped the head in hot water and glued the mandible in position

Thanks Leon. I like the modified Stalker. Great use of existing materials. Did you sculpt the tusks?
yeah, originally they were going to be part of his mask but decided that looked better.
Just a word to anyone, will one of you make a custom battle damaged neca alien, like the ones that will be in 2 packs, i would love to see someone do that and i may attempt it as well....

Mr T looks stunning
Colonial Mr. T has a bit of a Cole Train vibe to him. Very nice! :)
That Mr T is f**king phenomenal. I may steal that idea. And I'm also liking the Chell marine much more than the regular Chell. I keep looking at that figure on the pegs because I like the sculpt, but I'm unsure where she would fit in my collection. As a marine, she's pretty awesome.
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.
Here are 3 more of my custom Marines.
An Officer, a Heavy Gunner, and an "acid scarred" Marine.

very cool!
Those three are looking pretty good as well, I noticed you used the ME Shepard head, I only wish NECA had gotten the ME license so we could get a Shepard that actually looks like Shepard.
I think Danny trejo fits the marine costume too.
Anyone doing that?

Danny looks too old imo. That and I didn't even know there was a figure of him out there.
He the machete has a fig from NECA. He is the type of Sag that in rank and file always beating someone up.
Not to mentioned he is in predators.
So when Arnie is the colonial marine, so can he.
Yeah Danny has a lot of age to him....he'd look pretty weird....
Kurt Russel (stuntman mike head)
I would actually like to see Sylvester stalone....I think he'd be one hell of a marine
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.

Very good
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. ;)
Buy a Freddie mercury figure and use that mustache head for an unknown marine, some unpopular figure do good on this way too!

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
What 1911pistol are you chose from?
i think the Mcfarlane pilot figure looks alittle like Crowe

I´m new to these boards and I´d like to share some of my Colonial Marines customs in GIJOE scale. I have most of the snap kits, both marines and predators, (bought them on the secondary market and payed a fortune) but got them in the end :D

Nice custom hive, how did you do that!
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.

Thatd extremly awesome. I see you used pieces from halo and star wars figures on dutch. The alien is kick ass though.
Are you doing anymore? Like ALIENS:infestation kind or just AVP arcade if you dont mind answering.
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
My custom Dutch.

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

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.
So That means i have to redirect my budget onto this one I suppose. This is truly a masterpiece.
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.

pretty damn good
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!

thats cool
Thats a really awesome custom dude.
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!)

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
now just make a limited run to sell to us who can't craft such awesomeness! :)
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.
Dude that mural looks f**king sick.
Great work!
I printed a concept art photo of it 3 times.. then cut and layered and glued it carefully :P
I know what to do to improve it.. but i've got more important stuff to do. ;D
Next one to be made is the Huante version of the Deacon :P then i'll do some more detail work on the diorama and the creatures.
All are impressive and I like the wall especially.
I like this trilobite more than the squid actually used in the film.
This one looks more "alien"
Me too.. that's why i built it. ;D It's got a much more "lovecraftian" look :P
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!

Here's a quick peek at my next custom Alien Vs Predator Arcade figure, the Hunter.

Incredible.
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.
I repainted the 1/4 Elder's dreads tonight. I think they look much better and natural now.
Thoughts?

My mistake, with the netting over it it looks like the p2 gauntlet. For some reason I see the raised fin like design that was on city hunter.

Ready to take on the Alien menace comes another Alien vs Predator Arcade custom figure, the Warrior Predator! 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!

Great work!
Hey do you do requests, like if I wanted you to make a custom figure and I could then buy it off you through ebay or paypal?
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. Aves Studio Apoxie Sculpt was used to add extra sculpt and I gave this custom Snake Alien figure and a pair of fangs added paying homage to the Kenner Snake Alien design. Keep an eye out as I plan to make the Bat Alien and Green/Blue armored Predators that were the main characters in the game!

I just sculpted over the bumpy dome the Xeno warrior had using Aves Studio's Apoxie Sculpt.
Oh I see. Most impresive, congrats.
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
Gorilla alien was always cool to me.
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!

I plan to do an entire line of Kenner Aliens updates, remaking both the Colonial Marines and the Xenomorphs, so be sure to stay on the lookout! I'll probably be tackling the Gorilla Alien next! Thanks for looking!
I just saw your auction for the Bull Alien on eBay, I'm totally going to bid on it, haha. I just sent you an eBay message gushing about how completely awesome that custom is. I am seriously blown away by it.
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.

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.

Thanks for looking!
Awesome stuffs you have created!
I'm loving all of these retro Kenner remakes and AvP Arcade homages, they're seriously all completely fantastic.
Been working on this for a week. I need to gloss/seal the helmet and the added armor and take better pictures. I'm pretty happy with it, excluding the fact that while I was making the helmet fit I chopped off a bit too much of one of the eyes. I notice it, but I'm not sure if anyone else can

I'll have some better pictures tomorrow, and hopefully pictures of the other two.
Very cool. I've always been a fan of Preds with blades on both arms. How did you do the arm switch?

I boiled some water to loosen the plastic and popped off the forearm. I had to cut the blade off and reattach them though, the plastic NECA uses has a tendency to warp in really hot water

Use a hairdryer on high next time, won't warp the plastic and softens it faster than boiling water
Thanks for the tips. I see some custom work in my future.
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!

That head could almost work as a modern update to the old unreleased Kenner "Heavy Infantry Predator". I was about to ask if you were interested in doing a custom of that, and I saw that you'd already done one. :P
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.

That's a nice bunch, and even if they're not perfect, you nailed the iconic features of every character !
We see many USCM troops in this thread, but very few jobs on human Predator characters, congrats ;).
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?

cool pictures
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.

Holy crap ! You can handle an airbrush, mate !
Congratulations, this is an awesome job you did there 8) (even if I'm not really into the brown color for warriors).
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 !
You're right, the way they look on screen because of the darkness and a lot of blue lighting is to blame for the mass of blue warriors (and queens) everywhere. :laugh:

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.

Personally if the eyes were black itd make him look colder and death like. Is the helmet washed in red? then black is a good contrast to the color

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.
That's very interesting, I would love to see any pics of blue,green and especially red props from Aliens. I know the queen had some slight blue shades on it, but not to the degree it looks like a smurf like some models etc.
Posted these in the AvP miniatures game thread but it's basically dead til the game comes out so I'll put them here too. The started life as various Warhammer (28mm) figures which I've chopped up, re-posed and sculpted new parts for to make Aliens:

Cool!
Looks amazing! What made you go for the Res style paintwork?
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.

That is bad ass, but I already posted something on the market place, if anyone here is looking to sell some of their custom marines/alien/pred figures let me know I love custom work!!
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!

Voted. That's very nice. Are those specific styles of figures?
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.
It's certainly really nice! Do you have any links to her other stuff? I'd love to see them.
This is the link to her page. It has some of the iconic stuff she has done. But if you click on the Facebook page button you can see more of the custom work she does for people.

The arm computer LEDS came out a bit blobby, but it's fine for me. I never display it open anyways. the weapon he's holding is my custom maul I made using parts from Choppers blades, I haven't painted it yet but I want to add some things.
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. I love making custom Predators and will post some pics when I can.
Welcome aboard. I look forward to seeing them!
Thanks for the welcome! I've tried uploading some pics from my phone but it says that "this type of file isn't allowed"?
There are size restrictions and format restrictions. You maybe better off signing up to somewhere like Photobucket.
Those look great! Are you working on a full diorama?

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!

For the Gorilla Alien? About a week, there was a lot of chopping out limb sections and sculpting. But man he came out nifty!
Which has been your quickest to do? Which has been your hardest?
Started to repaint the Elder Neca 1/4... the second necklace I already lost so guess I have to make that too...will be a nice project though

What are you planning on doing?
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.

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!

Extra Vasquezfigure + extra armor = custom Colonial Marine
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!

Pvt. O'Neal almost done and Cpt. Cruz in progress
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.

Thanks to the Colonial Marines game's great weapons customization, I've been on a kick making customs for my Neca figs.
Damn sweet !!
Too bad such variants didn't appear on screen, weapon customization to the operator's liking is a current thing nowadays.
You catched it well Sabres, nice job.

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.

Thanks dude. Looks great.
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.

They work really well! That's a good find.
Indeed they rock, these faces are spot-on !
I'm looking forward to the custom body armor paint for those grunts now ;).
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.

There's something about Arnie with a smartgun...I love it!!
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).
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???
I bought a T2 Sarah Conner figure to turn into a marine. She isn't done yet, but in the hopes of Neca doing a Kenner Hicks I put this together. I took apart her M4 and did this, the intention was to make it look like a special ops version of the pulse rifle

Nice stuff. Which raises the big question: Is 21B really an Engineer?
-Windebieste.
Yeah I believe so ha. More like 1/2 that & 1/2 c3po.
Did some mod's tonight. I modified a Vaz body and a Sarah Connor upper body to put this one together. I still need to paint over Hick's heart and Born Again graffiti.

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!

Here are a few of mine.
Nothing much, just some more updates/pics of a few additions.
*Re-painted the mask & made spear (need to touch-up)*

Still planning some touch-ups soon to this, but wanted to try making a Prometheus Weyland RT01 Tank for the collection:

(https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320xq90/r/924/hszQBi.png)
Nice. I always liked the RT01. Does anyone know what happened to this vehicle... Did Scott have it destroyed after the movie was shot? Does anyone know where it is today - or its fate?
-Windebieste.
I think it went to a museum somewhere here in the UK.

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 :)
Pretty cool! 8)
Great job!
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)
Yep those look killer!
That's a great idea.
Definitely look great! Love the grey. It works really well. Some urban camo.
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.

Nicely done with those figures. I especially like the Bad Blood skulls on the City Hunter body, good choice.
A recent custom predator I finished. I wanted this one to resemble the Lost Predator Neca Figure as best I could make it.

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)

Here's my new Ultimate Bad Blood.
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!

Thats amazing lol, fantastic work!
BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Totally awesome.
-Windebieste.
That is f**king awesome!!! That looks fantastic!
Hell yeah Herk Mondo, that's f**king great.
Very cool!
Great custom job,will have to dig out the comics and have a re-read!
My custom Bad Blood Predator
I dig the predator 2 custom mask you have there! Those black mandibles/fangs on the front of the helmet are cool.
So I got a great deal on the NECA Berserker & Falconer predator figures online & now that I have all 3... I wanted to show my custom miniatures of the 3 predators from the film. Wanted to make them fairly accurate with my own paintwork style still. Hope you like :)

I also just got the Hellhounds in the mail from the AVP Prodos game. Have not painted them yet, but I will soon for sure!
Awesome customs bro! Keep up the good work.
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.

Brilliant work as always.
Always liked the idea of the Praetorian guard for the Queen,your figures a beaut.
Clever and nicely built indeed !
These are a few customs that I have made.

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.

that is one amazing temple setup and customs!
everyone awesome jobs!
*amazed*
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)

Here is a couple of my Predator customs - a Jungle Hunter Tribe hunting pack, as well as an Engineer helmet as a trophy.
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).
It's a shame that in my country people don't sell Aliens figure because the felt that it would be too threatening and terrifying for children :'(.
Something i have been working on tonight

Bloody brilliant!
Picked up a custom made 3D Printed AVP Predator Mothership. Been trying to add more new Micro inspired models/miniatures to my collection & very happy with how this model came out.
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 :)

That's pretty cool!
I think RidgeTop has a buddy who does 3D printing of the various Alien and Predator ships.
That transparent polar ice mothership is not just cool, but it's appropriate to the Antarctic theme of the 'AvP' movie.
-Windebieste.
Definitely. And it's a nice cloaking style effect too.
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.

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.

Did you have to cut the whole top half of the head off first and then dremel out the material from there?
Anyone else see that the new Wolf Hot Toys 1/6 scale figure is now available for preorder!? It looks great!

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 might have one or two, I'll have to check when I get home from work.

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.

Hi, people, i am from Brazil, trying hardly to find some model of that wonderfull spaceship for 3d printing, can someone send that for me, please? Thanos!!
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)

That's a smooth-looking diorama, love the resin water effect, Wolf ;)
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.
-Windebieste.
Based on my location the marines sell out faster than the aliens. Not much faster, but they do.
Marines are usually packed in fewer qty's to creatures per case. Like almost 2 xenos to 1 human ratio
And locally I'm always seeing surplus Bishops and Windrexs.
Hey just thought I show my repainted alien 3 neca figure , and what people thought ? Unfortunately my camera sucks , he looks a lot better up and personal ;)
You guys are awesome!! 😎 Great custom pictures guys , seems iv got ridiculously amazing artists to now look up too !! 😂
Is that some blood added on there?
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Feb 19, 2018, 08:23:57 AM

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 ?
So, I found a custom figure maker, I believe through this site, and decided to upload a few images of a very big surprise I have coming. Right now he's in the progress of working on it, but I'll let you guys guess what he's making...
P.S. There's also two Predators that will be coming as well!
Really digging those customs bro , make mine look like little cheap plastic army men lol 😂
I know it's not much of a custom, but felt like sharing just for kicks.
Just used different parts/accessories from AVP hot toys snap kits, hot toys mini cosbaby & the weapon strap for the neca wolf predator.

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.
You can try checking out the Gamesworkshop Citadel paints. They have a pretty good range of colors as well as flat and glossy washes.
Thanks I'll look into it! Just used the paint I had left, will probably repaint it

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.
That's what I was missing on Fugitive: skulls.

He killed but never took trophies. Which was odd...? Then again, special spinal fluid juice. Upgrading. Human-Predator DNA splicing. 10 foot tall CGI monstrosities. ::)
Well, he was only on the run/there to help humanity, so that wasn't really his mission.
Nicely done!!

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.

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

Impressive. Is the tail spear custom made?
Thanks ;D and yes it is, I just used the Neca Grid Alien tail from the 2-pack set. And had a few other random pieces for it.

Gotcha. It's pretty cool honestly. You did a good job.

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.

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...
It would be really cool to do a book with figure comics.

Ultimately, I might try that. Would have to check copyright and all the legal stuff.
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.

Which ones?
Decided to give Twinblade an unmasked variation head.
Need to touch it up a bit, but not a bad start! Mandibles are custom sculpts.

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.

Thank you. I think this has been some of my better work. I have made a lot of dioramas. I could post some of my past works if desired.
Why not? I saw your youtube channel and some of your dioramas there, they're awesome. I'd be glad to see more pictures, fan creativity is always admirable.

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

That's not a weird idea. The only problem is that it will be hard to control. Mine is paper mache...
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.
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. 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.
Looking forward to 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.

:D 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.

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.

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.
Wow Ahab! You're a super fast worker!

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.
Mhm, PM.

tell me about it...finding alternative parts from other figures can also be a real pain. Nothing else in the scale really has the same detail/look that NECA's stuff does. Some Mcfarlane stuff does but thats really it.
Yikes. Nevermind!

I tried with other predator dreads and it didn't look right. But I do agree, I think that's particularly what cemented the color choice for me.
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.

The question remains. What shall the next custom be? I would

That would be painfully hard if you want to make em as accurate as possible. I don't know of any good base figure and head for that.

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.

;D I'll take credit.
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.
NECA should take notes;

They are also not pegged all the way into the joint.
That'll be the photographer's fault. They're designed to come in and out to avoid breaking. I own both and they easily peg all the way in.
:-*
Yeah, not digging those figures nearly as much as Necas.
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.
Still suffers the Curse of the Dome That Projects Too Far, which NECA did actually manage to address eventually.
Yeah they may have articulation but those ball joints just look dumb.
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.

Repainted Weyland-Yutani Commando hands. I think they look really good, because it's very similar to Harrison from AvP 2.

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.

Bad Bloods, Bad Bloods whatcha gonna do when the Enforcers come for you? Filmed on location with Yautja law enforcement. All suspects are abominations and must be destroyed.

In all seriousness, I wanted some variety with my Enforcers, so I made this custom biomask with stuff I had laying around. I will eventually get around to painting the blue symbol on it.
I've been working on additional enforcers to, still some things to do before I consider them done though.

Those Mercs look legit! Damn. Great use of parts.
Also digging the Enforcers a lot.
Thanks!
I'm still waiting on some parts for those two, mostly head sets. I'm debating on whether or not I want to leave their armor black or camo it up like the USCM armor but in greys/whites
Personally, I'm liking the black armor but I'm sure a lot of other variant colors can work well.

If you don't like those, I know there's some good 20th century W-Y merc designs in Predator: Prey to the Heavens.
So this was bound to happen, I swapped out my "Terry Crews" Apone for the Kenner Apone. I just need to match up the paint better with his transplant ear and paint over the graffiti on his armor and he'll be good to go.

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?
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.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, really appreciate it!
Yeah, thanks, it looks great, may do something similar. Or copy exactly.

Been working on converting one of the Emissary preds into a USCM style Emmisary....still some more to do but hopefully I'll be done before the day is over

Basically, I'm keeping with the Emissary idea but with a different back story
I got a light box and tested it on another one of the preds I've been working on

That is awesome beyond belief. Such a silly Kenner like idea, but it works, at least aesthetically. What's the backstory? :P
And where'd you get the skull from? :o
I think Drake is royally jealous of the USCM's Emissary Pred's smartgun décor.

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:
Very cool JWP!
Since I've got so many loose parts around here I thought I'd get into modding.
I'm thinking of grabbing an Arcade Predator since it runs pretty cheap, but I'd also want to replace the head with my masked Emissary head and maybe make some other mods. Anybody know if the swapping can be done easily or do I have to break something?

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.
Question. I've got a Neca Michael Myers, and I'm planning on getting a Nathan Drake and replacing his whole arms with Michael's for a David custom I'm planing. Is there any special method or technique of replacing the arms other than a lot of hot water/ hair dryer action?
I've swapped the arms on Preds and a bunch of the different colonial marines and the best method I've found for that is the boil and pop method.
Nice, thanks.
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?
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.
Are you the same Teckno Viking I see around Aliens Legacy?

A lot of good people on the AL forum. Plus any info Someone will know an answer to the question.
Btw good username. Trev was an outstanding chap.
Some more shots of armour.
Plus making a "Marine Force Recon". So stripped down armour but something for those "Up Close and Personal" moments.
Nice, that's going to be one hell of a custom when you're done with this one.

Well supplies have arrived. So can finish off my 1/12 USCM with cloth webbing and working buckled removable armour.
So quick question.
How many have Done are currently building an APC for their NECA Marines?
Planning to start one shortly so just looking for advice/pointers. Going for a static not rc. However do want to do full interior.
I am considering making a cardboard APC for my Neca marines, but not the interior. Still not sure how the hell will I pull that off, the exterior isn't too tough to make, but it wont be a quick and easy job.
Papercraft files upscaled would be your best bet I imagine.
I try that, thanks for the advice.

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.

Also started on a custom Smart Gunner 1/12. Need Restrap Vasquez armour to fit the tbleague body.
Nice work on the Smartgunner, and I personally really like your Pulse Rifle gun mods, the different variants.

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.
Damn, that'll be a lot of uniforms!

Hmmm. I really need to do the rest of mine. The single repainted one looks so lonely after seeing this.
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.
Nice, please do! Can't wait to see the rest of your progress. Always like seeing these. I'm a bit lazy and not that skilled with painting yet so I do plan to color match my hive just in glossy black kinda like the AVP2010 aliens when my Razor and Arachnoid arrives.
Can someone take a picture with necas alien queen next to a marine/ripley figure? Just wanna see the size difference and also get an idea for how much space I need in my home to fit the queen :P
Well found some Tiny working buckles. So the NECA shin armour is now getting the treatment to be removable.
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.
To go with the 1/12th cloth uniformed Marines in BDU's.
How about one NECA hasn't done and still in Cloth. This is still a WIP.
Everything is looking great so far, can't wait to see more of the space suit

To bad we'll never get a true Aliens movie Apone, but with a custom like that, you wouldn't need one anyway. Looks great as always!
That's awesome!
Just need to pull a cigar off of one of the Dutch figs and give it to him.
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.
Nice customs, especially love what you did to Razor Claw.

So I've lurked this forum, but only registered recently, I've actually made quite a few customs on the side for my own fun and wanted to share them here and see what some folks thought of them.

Ha! I love that arcade Dutch!
All three, nicely done!
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.

Man, "Pops" rules.
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.

I blame my wife for suggesting he looks like the Chad, he was however one of my favorite builds. His chest harness and armor are sculpted almost entirely from scratch.

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.

So in taking a break from Marines I decided to make my first Predator custom. He's a bootleg Ancient, Emmisary spare parts I had left over, and a Papa Kratos figures all mashed together. I call him Stabby Pete.

I think that works really well! Only thing I'd change would be the feet.
Thought about doing something similar when I saw Kratos in Target a few weeks ago. Looks good to me, but I second the feet comment
That looks great 50percentJoe! The human feet are a distraction, but otherwise terrific. Nicely done! :)
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.
I remember another Pete in this thread.

Those are some brilliant Predator and Marine customs.
Was the Marine the new Vin Diesel figure? (forget what that new film is called). How did you make the Phalanx Predator mask?

I had finally bought myself the Rhino Alien (Yaaaaayyyy) - but once again I repainted the Kenner homage into film-style colours.
Here are a couple of pictures of it with the cranial covering and without (use as alternate variant).
Looks good!
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).
Here is another Kenner homage Xenomorph painted in film colours - the Gorilla Xenomorph. I initially painted it in a bluish-grey drybrush (like the blue Warriors), but I finally decided to paint it in Drone colours (like my Rhino Xenomorph repaint) because, let's face it it is more a Drone variant.
Here is the Gorilla Xenomorph, a picture with other drones, and a picture of it with the black dome covering (as a variant).
Excellent it's an Alien from The Cold Forge!

That's what I thought when I read the book :). There have been so many good novels (I still love Sea of Sorrows).
I think we have three good novels but to each their own. (But in fairness I have not read Echo, Prototype or Infiltrator or the ones prior to Titan Books.)

Very cool! Great paint job sir!
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 cool. Tyranid parts look to all be from the Trygon/Mawloc kit to my eye?
I've just started fixups and a repaint on an SH Monsterarts bigchap, pics will be posted when I'm done but it might be a while since I'm currently fresh out of gloss varnish.

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)
Ended up getting this done before the Big Chap. NECA Shaman Predator (the flimsy staff broke basically the day I got it, so I'm planning to fabricate a pair of dueling knives for him).

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.

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!

P.S. Cheers to VoodooMagic, I'm sure he'll appreciate it ;)
Wow, this looks so good! Well done, I always love me a good diorama, you've nailed the style.
That diorama looks sweet Master, amazing details all round - goes well with the trophy rack diorama piece.
Is that embroidery mesh for the bottom grills? Embroidery mesh works brilliantly for sci-fi modeling projects.
Thanks for good word guys. The mesh is for grinding, sort of heavy duty sandpaper.

Great work,
Master!
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?
Hey all)
Here is our Bishop. First it was planned as a custom project, then collaborative project with another brand. With all production delays and COVID adventures it`s finally released by us with factory.

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.

Found this...
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...
I'd love to see that.
Since this didn't get any love in the other thread, I'll put it here
I'm actually working on a custom Dutch 2025, from Hunting Grounds, using a 3D printed head.

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?

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.

The cost of making the prints, not the printer itself but if you printed out one or more alien heads for instance

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
Hi guys. I know it's not AvP related but I finished phase one of my diorama for NECA God of War figures. It is called the Lion Gate.

It is custom made for shelf in Detolf cabinet and it is functional (doors does open ;). Hope you enjoy it!
Here is my slightly customized Neca Ultimate Elder predator, all I did was add some straps to the shins and a spear, both took a good while to do so I'm posting it lol. (https://i.ibb.co/fSTKwsN/IMG-20230213-161724775.jpg) (https://ibb.co/Qcxqw4H)

That's probably gonna look awesome!
That Feral helmet actually looks like a Predator ship as well
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.
