That NECA figure looks quite good, but, their regular predators are the same size as humans. Gives you a bit more reference though.
CHEERS!

That's odd given all the amazing reference material they will have access too, why make such a basic error in scale? The humans should be 6" or less in that case, weird. Might explain why they seem to have gone for the wrong (in my opinion) colours for this Pred too, he's far more green in the movie with striking red accents; they can't blame that on the lighting as he was a complete CGI character unlike the FP that was sometimes CGI and sometimes an actor in a suit.

I guess the NECA might be a decent paint reference. Looks like other pics. That said, their paint on the Ultimate Gremlins is actually way off when compared to pics of the screen used ones.
CHEERS!

That's mainly because NECA are just doing 7" figures and not doing them to a particular scale most of the time. Their scale varies wildly. The Gremlins are about 1/4 scale and the Ash vs Evil Dead figure they did was more like 1/12. It's really weird, some are in scale and some plain aren't. It's the luck of the draw as to what you get.
CHEERS!

The stills do seem to have quite a degree of colour variants and the movie doesn't help with real lighting changes then compensated on the CGI model so that changes too...hell I'll just blame the CGI guys and stick with the dark green and red as that's been my plan all along and I didn't invent the colour scheme, it just seems to be the most consistent allowing for all the variables involved, hell he's invisible half the bloody time!

I thought you meant humans in the same universe/franchise/series like Dutch Shaffer or the Space Marines etc..
Stryker2011 wrote:Thanks for the explanation. It's funny, aside from them having space travel technology, and really cool weapons, it's always hard to think of them as little more than savages, but all of that would make sense. Just because they look like "animals" doesn't mean they're idiots. Ahh, the arrogance of Human thinking rears it's ugly head again.

Coming along!
I will still seal my Gremlin with polyurethane as I want to paint on top of it with acrylics in order to redo his eyes and touch up other areas.
CHEERS!

Chris said he used it and one of the team from Cabin Fever 3 used it on their display pieces, so it should be ok.
