Randam's random pics

In the final pic, the one showing her back, that arrow looks so in focused, like a near-miss... It's like another heroic story for the folks in the tavern.

Excellent pics Ralph! That background is incredible. Is she 1/6 or 1/12th? either way, she looks amazing!

Excellent figure, that is how a kitbash should look like - That head is still one of the best out there imo. But I also like the boots and the cape! Great job

I love that figure! You did a great job in matching her to the reference. But I prefer yours, to my surprise because of the added softness that comes with the head. ScarJo is great at being strong and vulnerable at the same time.

The ground and background are beautiful, too, and those arrows are a nice touch!

Great bash, great posing, great light, great job!

Commander Shepard might be a cool project. I printed some SciFi armor for costumers in the past, I am pretty sure thete are shepard files out there too.

What a beautiful job with a beautiful character, making her look tough and gritty at the same time. Gorgeous work!

Haven't been around for quite a while - and am just glancing through unfortunately - but gosh, I have missed a lot... Bunch of beautiful ladies in excellent pics again !!! and Rey really comes across well as archer.
Love your updated Red Sonja

Thanks for the nice comments, folks! I'm glad that you like my little bashes.

Here is another WIP figure:
One of the first 1/6 figures that I bought ages ago was the HT She-Predator Machiko, which was really outstanding when it was first released around 2009. For some time I wanted to update this figure with a modern TBLeague body. Having recently aquired another Machiko-Set, I modified the armor to fit on an S47 body. Here is what I got so far (wheathering and small details still missing):

Thanks for looking!

Holy facehugger, I didn't even know the "human female Predator" was a thing. It looks like something which shouldn't make sense but somehow does.
Also reminds me of Sarah Kerrigan from StarCraft.

Great figure, all in all.

That’s really cool. Excellent shots. I’m not familiar with all the details that should be on this figure, but I like what you’ve done so far. That “new” face-hugger is pretty wild.

Absolutely gorgeous bashing, modification, and presentation. Excellent work, as usual!

Inspired !

Another really cool figure here. I wish we could see a before pic to see what you improved upon

Lovely shots as always, great combination with your backdrop method! Do you also own the AVP Alien woman?

Oh man that's the best Machiko ever!
I also like what you did, having her hold the gun/blaster instead of shoulder-mounted.

HOLY COW! What a great figure, and what a great head!! I want it.

Beautifully presented as always.

@all
Thank you very much for the nice comments!

Thanks! To my knowledge, the human female Predator, Machiko Noguchi, first appeared in the Alien vs Predator comic book series. While these were not the best drawn comics, I instantly liked the concept that Predators might actually accept alien species in their ranks if they prove their value in battle. If you think about, the end of Predator already 2 hinted at this possibilty when Danny Glover is awarded a trophy for his victory (and AVP actually made a human cooperate with a Predator against xenomorphs). Anyway, She-Predator Machiko is a very cool character that I like a lot, even though the design is cheesy.

Thanks. Obviously, I did not want to alter the design of Machiko, so the changes are rather subtle. I dremeled through the lower leg armor, as it was just a part of leg of the original figure. Also, I adapted the shoes to fit the S47 connectors. As the S47 has much longer legs, I make the stockings to cover the gap around the knee. I also made a new leather loincloth to exchange the original plastic one. For this, I cut the lower part away and made the hip armor an armored belt.

You can see the original HT version on Michael Crawford's review page.

As I still have my original Machiko, I can also make a side-by-side pic on the weekend, if you are interested.

Yeah - THAT is a damn cool head. Would enjoy that one… but the figure appeals to me too. looks convincing and consistent. Great pics - sparking a certain feeling of „want this too“
(do not have any clue about the character, never cared about Predator anyway)

Blasphemey! (The first one was pretty cool. The sequels… meh. And the Alien Vs Predator movies sucked like a bad rectal itch. But, the first one was pretty original).

LOL - now, that is a vivid comparison…

I'm a fan of the AVP franchise mostly because of the Video games. Monolith's AVP2 was a real milestone in gaming.

I couldn't resist to let Machiko fight against my 30cm Neca Alien queen. Unfortunately, the thing is much to heavy to hold any dynamic pose, so this is the best I got...

Thanks for looking at my pics!

Pretty cool photos. Even at the smaller size, the Queen is an impressive beast.

Very effective use of the different scales. Great photos. And nice plants, too, adding so much to the ambience.

That's a great shot!

Both Machiko and Red Sonja look excellent.
Machiko looks more alive with the mask on.

Great photos, kudos! Obviously you know I'm a fan of your work both here and on Flickr, you obviously pour your heart into all your photos and it shows.

Awesome shots!!! That last Sonja with Scarlett's head is superb!

Thanks for the kind comments, folks! It has been a lot of fun to pose Machiko together with the Alien Queen.

Thanks a lot, Faith! I also enjoy all your photos on FLICKR and here (as a guy, I'm obviously not so much into fashion...)

I recently picked up TBLeagues' Night Warrior. As the figure has a Nordic theme, I thought it would fit best into a snow setting. So I played a little with artificial snow...

Very cool new photos. Love the setting and the fake snow looks great.

You're so good at these set pieces. I am forever envious of your array of backdrops , scenery, and props!
