I guess that place is bugged to hell. It was worth the move to here then
Maybe that is why OSW is quiet nowadays, no one can log in! HAHA
back on topic: I am hopefully gonna get that HC predator soon, planning on making it more accurate and realistic. I am thinking classic pred body and mods/reapint of armour. what head will be best you think? I am thinking classic pred head or Scar. Thoughts??

Yeah, OSW went to the dogs ages ago. That was why this site was built as a home for lost OSW'ers.

This forum was started by GF, Roger and DFC (now awol or kicked out) because they had the foresight to realise OSW was going under with the new owners who didn't care as it was lumped in with the far more lucrative Yo Joe (GI Joe/ Action Force) forum.
As for the HC Pred's hs I'm going to use the one supplied but swap the dredds with the HT Lost Predator hs I have and probably give it a teal wash. As for the body I'll get rid of the painted on netting, narrow the chest of the body and armour, teal wash it, repaint armour, make a correct cannon etc...

After spending most of yesterday searching a field of haystacks (my rooms full of boxes full of parts) for a needle that may or may not exist (a missing 1/4 foot peg) because I discovered every other type of joint I have will either be too big or too weak for this guy's ankles; I decided to explore the world as I know it (ebay) for a new kind of joint! In my travels (er..surfing the net) I discovered BLOK BOTS and bid on a bunch of parts including what look like the perfect joints and loads of other cool parts I'd never seen before so this opens up all kinds of possibilities for this and future builds (sci-fi, Iron Man etc..); won it all for a whopping 99p!
Damned mismatching joints!!
I'll be using warm plasticine to make moulds from my Rancor's armour/skin and cast it in black latex to use as skin grafts on the HP (also now known as the Assassin Predator..), I also discovered I had better hands for him and plenty more armour too.
This is a Funko version of him, really funking useful reference material...not..
It seems these are the best images we'll be getting of the HP as they are releasing a big glssy hardback book on the making of the film for Xmas with all the artists' concept and final costumes, props etc.. to be fully revealed in that..
A predator monkey just because...lol

You are, indeed, a madman, Chop!
This project is quite literally exemplary of the craft that is creating custom figures...
You’re what I refer to as a “guerrilla customizer” - which is a manner of saying that you can make anything into something - and that’s certainly an exceptional talent, brother.
Phenomenally gruesome excellence in progress.

Thanks guys! Just doing what I do with stuff
Made moulds of the shoulders using plasticine as it's easier to remove from captured/undercut shapes, then used air drying clay (that I never used for the Sauron throne as I ended up fabricating it from a metal street sign) for the rest of the moulds and cut it into sections with a butter knife so hopefully the clay won't get trapped when it hardens. The plasticine is now in the freezer so it won't get soft with the heating on and the clay is on the heaters so it hardens.

Thanks guys! It's going to be a slow process as the clay has to cure some what to keep its shape, then it will be the usual layer upon layer of latex having to dry in between applications like I did for my War Machine Vengeance armour and Titanium Man armour gap fillers until it's thick enough to use.
I've done a quick mock up of the HP without the skin to compare his size to a regular Predator (although the Fugitive Predator seems quite skinny so should be more like the Wolf Predator but didn't want to take him down from the shelves). I think the HP needs bigger shoulders and thighs etc.. which I can do by putting stuffing or foam under the latex skin..hopefully or build them up then apply the skin. Did plenty of filing, dremelling and sanding to the base body too.
Looking at the pics now, I may have to switch up to a literal Hulk body, lucky I have that spare one...the aticulation sucks though..more work I guess...

Really? Never seen one, how big are they? Regular Star Wars ones in 1/4 would be way too tall, they're nearly as big as my Titanium Man!

Haven't seen the latest Predator movie, but your build is indeed another epic experience to follow. I have no doubt that it'll turn out as glorious as all of your builds. Keep plugging away, Alex. You are a machine. I wish I had a 10th of your drive.

Overkill?
Not necessarily - although, I have not seen the film…
That’s certainly a serious monstrosity there.
Excellent guerrilla custom tactics, Chop.

I agree, the hulk body looks rather too bulky -- though I have not seen the film. I didn't really see a problem with the first body you tried -- aren't you adding texture and stuff on top anyway?
