One of my favorite super pred in the movie, second is "Mr. Black". Too bad we never get to see this guy's face.

Heh... I was wondering if you'd do a repaint.
I definitely will have to do my own. That blade is begging for some Alclad action: [link]

My girl-friend works at Suncoast--they have him in stock. Maybe we could work out some sort of deal?

Well, I was thinking I could have my girlfriend pick up two Berserkers. One for me. One for you. If you're game, Payment for finding him for you could be one of your kick arse paint jobs.

the berserker, has the worst paitjob ever to get to a toy

Yes, it did. Terrible job with the spots. Let's hope in series II they do a better job.

i doubt it, i dont think they really consider it and plenty of people who aren't artists like it

They may surprise us. Have some faith,man. I've noticed a slowly climbing quality in 'PREDATOR' merchandise, So maybe they realize us artists who are Pred fans are not to be taken lightly.

yeah, i think its fun repainting them, so im not that pissed off, but ive only been into preds for about a year, so i dont have much experience

Sam here. It's a blast to add your own touches here and there. I usually tend to take mine and make some of diorama with them. So you're a new Predator fan of sorts,huh? Well..Welcome to the world of the Yaujta. Enjoy.

i already am! i tend to spray paint them wwhite, and start again. that way its entirely my work and generaly looks better too!

Honestly, Go with light gray primer and start from there. White makes the paints you'll use look to bright, and unrealistic. Joe Dunaway did tutorial on how to paint Preds. Might want to give it a gander.

thanx, i just painted mine the desired skintone and used spray on laquer to protect the pain, can you link me to that tutorial?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can scan it, and post it in here. Basically, What you need to do (You'll forgive me if I forget some steps.)
Start with light Gray primer. Any brand would work. Using createx brand paints,Dark brown, to be exact, Brush in the details and wipe away the excess. Seal your work with Testor's dullcote. Now this is the tricky part, Using a deep red/purple, paint in veins along the body (The arms, legs, etc.). After that, Another coat of dullcote to protect your work. Now, If you have an airbrush, Find the right color for the skin tone you desire and thin the paint using 90% rubbing alcohol. Spray the skin tones down, Let them dry and once again, Testor's dullcote. Next, onto the spots. Use whatever colors strike your fancy. Good luck.

Great news, man!! Yes, I have done some model kit painting. Quite a bit actually. I just need a good quality digital camera to snap some shots. Just recently I've finished the Pred-alien.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could probably go that route, But laziness has stricken. I'll be sure to let you know when the pics get posted, though. I have quite a few I need to take shots of including Wolf, The S.Hayes Dark hunter, And the John Wright kit of the Jungle Hunter.

Took a look at the origonal NECA figure and I am impressed on how much your painting has improved the figure.

Holy Shit! It looks like the bugger just walked out of the big-screen. Did you base this paint-up off of screen-grabs?

I'm in total awe of his armor design!
Those boots and that left metal claw/glove is epic! And the wrist computer/communicators seems to be in a more advanced and practical design than the bulky original once.
Really nice paint job!
