Magnificent paint apps and detailing.
good one! Looks like a giant gorilla too if you want to 'double entendre' the title.
Funny you should mention that, Chop...
That particular pun had been difficult to resist. However, there seemed to exist a sufficient one in the apex Predator notion, itself (not to mention the fact that I often refer to your method as “guerrilla,” LOL).
I suppose that it all seemed to be a bit too much sugar for a dime…
And speaking of too much sugar for a dime…
Wow! Look at all that! Never mind the hair and the outfits... Those poses!

Talk about a blast from the past! The netting would have to be painted, but I think it was in scale.

"All guys" - well, per se...
I’ve never seen the RHPS, nor have I ever heard of these guys, but they certainly exemplify that ultra-mod that were the ultimately awesome ‘80s…
That furtive fellow on the far left, hahaha! WTH? What’s he doing with his hands there? LOL.
Then you’ve got the all-business rebel yeller - Billy Idol’s stunt double - while the middle one looks on with utter pride, as if to say, “Yeah, mate, now that’s straddling the line of discord and rhyme... Smashing!”
And then there’s the hybrid androgyne in stilettos; one part leopard, two parts clownfish…?
Finally, you’ve got the leader (he has to be), in the half-shirt, with a jockstrap, LOL - with that pose and an expression that seems to say so matter-of-factly, “We are, indeed, the very flash in the radical pan!”
Ah, the ever-unabashed when awful ‘80s…
This shall be desktop for the day.
Many thanks, Chop!

I think this was the lead singer, obviously bent as a corkscrew and a Mad Max2 fan!
Oh dear, made the mistake of watching a music video of theirs on YT, they are beyond terrible....

Nooo! Not Jellybean! Like a record... damn showing my age now! A mate had a poster of him for some reason, he was into AH-HA, Bross, Duran Duran etc.. I was and still am a Metalhead, so Metallica, Megadeth, WASP etc..

That's not Jellybean, he was a producer for Madonna, that's Pete Burns. Damian did The Timewarp, Sigue Sigue Sputnik only ever had a hit with Shoot It Up (Love Missile F-111). I only remember them because they played a gig at the University of East Anglia and caused a stir.
CHEERS!

I bow to your superior knowledge on 80's pop music, definitely wasn't my thing like I mentioned above I was into metal through and through; I just remember fragments of the pop stuff I was forced to endure due to the serious lack of metal bars and clubs in Athens! One of the main reasons I never returned to live there and stayed in Swansea for the metal and Biker scene as well as all the gorgeous drunk girls/women!

Ended up repainting the head and small areas of the body to match the paler skin tone, damn that paint stank! Andrea Color skin tone set, maybe it just reacted badly to being used over the clear coat? Clear coated it again using the better Vallejo matte over the new paint work. Also modded and painted the armour with a wash, created a neck using a ball joint and a bit of Godzilla's tail. Need to do the mask and make him a cannon the correct size.

Decided it was time my old MacFarlane Predator sacrificed himself for the greater good of his species! Dated 1987-2004 so I guess it's a reissue? I don't know why they'd put the movie release date on a figure. Anyway he's a bit undersized with hardly any articulation just taking up precious space on my Predators shelves, got some great parts to donate though! Even the base is really nice. I'll use his head with the mask on and a bloody spine as an accessory for the HP as he casually rips the FP's head and spine out in the movie (to collect DNA to see why he went rogue perhaps now that we know these are not just trophies?). his cannon looks the right size for the FP, the one he came with is a recast of one of the Wolf P's guns. Plenty of stuff for other Pred builds like the armour, feet, gauntlets etc.. Got some previously cast Jaffa armour to make his kilt from.

Well he is a bit dated now a days (having said that I own the original Medicom 12" Predator and Alien figures back when they were rubbery plastic over articulated skeletons) the MacFarlane AVP 1/6 'statues' are really nice, have those on display with my HT Preds.
You can join the bases to create a disk and reverse the figures so they are fighting each other, that's how mine are displayed, except mine are right in each other's faces.

Thanks for looking Peter! Same process as the Dwarves, I just make stuff as I get to it
.Lots of cutting and glueing today trying to distract my senses from my bastard toothache! Sucky start to the year, back then immediately tooth! Anyway sinuses now full of melted plastic and various adhesives' stinks some time later and the armour is all modded and painted with some attached, removed the face from the MF Pred to use on a future build (does anyone know someone who sells custom 1/6 silicone dreadlocks? There used to be a guy on Ebay years ago) with that grey cranium part etc.. Did a bit of silver dry sponging too.

great work, it is really starting to come together!
FYI, HC are now doing AVP Scar Predator (HT KO) in 3 versions: masked, open mandibles and closed mandibles. Might be good for future pred custom fodder

Thank you Jaz! Cheers for the info on the HC Scar! Great news as I want to make a Chopper Predator as he's the only one I'm missing.
my FP is getting there, the kilt will need a lot of filing on the underside and it's old school resin..yuck..really messy and stinks!

It's just a preference thing, that old night owl one is way too heavy and tough to use, it's like a workout in a gym! The mini one I'm using now is a bit unpredictable with random keys malfunctioning regularly, good as a back up. The new one is a really nice featherlite but super sturdy about the size of an i-pad called an Arteck HB030B. I mucked up and missed the the pin when I tried to connect it, now I can't recover it and my PC keeps asking for it in order to connect it via bluetooth.

Yeah I'll email the seller too and see if they have a master passcode or something, it's infuriating seeing all these people on YT connecting without even needing one!
Back on topic.. nearly finished the FP, just need to make the kilt, paint the nails and sort out the helmet as it looks kind of goofy, I'm hoping adding real lenses will help. Mounted the cannon which was quite fiddly and attached the feet using hot glue with plasticine in the connector gaps to prevent glue entering there and locking rotation. I also finally finished all his silver beads.
