These Predators Three

By Frank Gray




The first kit, Pred on Rocks, is originaly called Predator game version. It is made to fight a 1/6 Alien to resemble the classic P.C game AVP2. I bought this Predator from my local model shop and built him up to resemble some kind of Predator like in the first movie. Due to this I scratchbuilt a newly designed shoulder cannon and visor and I also made a scratchbuilt Predator sword for his right hand. The base is 100% scratchbuilt using clear resin to model the jungle water below.

The second Predator kit is a complete mystery. I bought it in England over ebay. It is an original but I dont know where it is from, I have looked for others but have never found any. Since I can't find a name for this piece I call it "The New Hunter" it being a completely new Predator in design. The base is 100% scratchbuilt and the snake is made from Das modeling clay and the water is made from clear resin.

The third Pred is the classic Nayta Predator with alien victim. I built him up just like any other of these kits but I glued the visor in his hand to suggest he has just taken off his visor. I also made the wooden base and painted the Predator logo to match. I also scratchbuilt a alien tail wraped around the base out of Das modeling clay.
