Nice work !
Predator Modded
13
Ive always been dissatisfied with my predator scar figure, the hair was one of the main things that bothered me, the lil bit oversized head and the ski color looked ridiculous along with the uncomfortable looking bodyarmor.
I havent been into the 1.6 community for about 1 year but ecently purchased the prdator 2 elder which i am 110% satisfied, this prompted me to fuxup the scar predator that had been sitting in my cabitet untouched and unlooked at for so long.
I started with removing the metal wiring in each hair strand. i twisted the hair and slipped each wire through a set of holes along each dreadlock. i previously attempted to open the head up t see if there was another way and slipping the wire through the holes ended up being the best way.
Now removing the wire alone is not enough to help the hair stay in a natural gratational way, it will still look like a freakshow. So in order have the hair flow downward, I then cut a triangle chunk out of each dreadlock. then i was able to bend the hair without any excess buldge of the rubber locks and glue them down with a tab of crazyglue. i did each dread lock individully and angled each chunk i cut accordingly to the way i wanted the hair to flow.
There are minor blemishes of the cut away rubber locks but it looks way better to me then the way the crazy hair did. and i think this alone added a much more likeable factor to my own predator.
I also ended up painting the whole body as i hated these yellow patches on black skin of the original predator body. I also did different washes and tints of darker and lighter shades on the whole entire armor of the figure. as it looked to dark or boring to me. I repainted the helmet silver with darker tints around the eyebrows of the helmet. repainted the bone necklace more white and added a longer brown color skirt for the front of his crotch.
the armor on the shoulders i pulled off and reglued. gluing the shoulder plate just below the body armor. then the tricep or mid armor i glued it alot lower to cover more of the arms like in the movie. this helped a great deal in making the predator look better.
here are the photos.

nope, all u need to do is bend ur dreads, under the hair there are 2 holes every cm, where u feel the wire closest to, jus bend it so the wire can slip out of the hole, then take pliers and pull out the wire while securing the rubber dread with ur hand. be careful not to tear or rip off the rubber, when u lok at ur predators locks more carefully u will see what i mean by the 2 holes.Siccx said:
the wires are not hard to pull out at all, i pulled a few out with my fingers and teeth but then was like wtf, and i got my pliers out.

the predator is inspired mainly from predator 1 which is by far superior then anyone since arnold is in it and its jus so classic. but i initially had a camo faced arnold which didnt look that kewl and i also tried to replicate a brown vest like in the movie but it didnt look good sleevless on the muscle body and the color jus didnt do it justice, so i ended up setting him up with this outfit, and for me ide rather soemthign look good and impressive instead of accurate and uglyMelvin said:
