Name of Build: Predator
Kit manufacturer: Unknown
Scale: 1/6
Description
I picked this kit up on sale at my lHS a few years ago and is the only figure I've done to date.
After filling with plaster, I primed and base coated the figure before applying Alclad II metal paints for the armor pieces and wrist blades. The body was painted with Tamiya acrylics. After the paint had dried, I painstakingly glued thread all over the body where the model had raised lines for the Predator's netting suit.
I cut out the eyes on the helmet and glued in metal mesh to provide a more realistic affect.
Hoses were custom built by wrapping thing magnet wire around another thicker piece of wire and rolling the section in teflon tape before painting.
