Predator Clan Leader and Young Predator

[GoN2Broadway]

The Predator culture revolves around the hunting and stalking of dangerous lifeforms - the thrill of the hunt. After making a kill, Predators typically skin or decapitate the carcass, converting it into a trophy. Unlike most species, the Predator does not hunt for sustenance or the elimination of threats, but rather for entertainment - they will only attack life forms that have the ability to provide them with a challenge.

This Predator is the Patriarch of one clan, and is watching over the young Predator's Blood Trial. His own Blood Trial was decades ago, and he has risen through his victories as head of the Clan.

The torso, arms, and legs are all hand-painted by myself as well as all the armor, helmet, hair, etc. He does feature this particular clans mark on his helmet.

His weapons include: Dual Plasma Casters, Smart Disc (with Brickarms Upgrade), Extended Retractable Spear, and Extended Wrist Blades. Too much? I think not ;) Hope you like :)

This predator uses a Brickarms monopod to connect the spear to his back - The Smart Disc uses a Brickarms MK2 Frag Grenade with another 2 elements :) I think it turned out pretty well.

This young Predator is beginning his Blood Trials - which are to take place on an isolated section of the planet Zeta-XM2 where he will face Colonial Marines on a preliminary scouting mission, as well as Xenomorphs. If he survives the hunt and is victorious, he can place the family mark upon his skull and helmet; if not, he must commit suicide.

The torso is decaled, and the Legs are hand-painted.

His weapons include: Plasma Caster, Smart Disc, Retractable Spear, and Wrist Blades. Hope you like :)

I have been intending on making him for a while, I just needed to get the parts, and then Brickarms Forum Member Thel' Vadamee created a Predator really inspired me in terms of the hair - I think I have figured out how to do it in a way that is at least close to his :) I will also keep this a secret as Thel originally wanted his kept that way (unless someone like me tried to figure out how he got it looking so good ;) If you are wondering which is his: http://forums.brickarms.com/yaf_postst29853_Predator.aspx

Thanks!

It looks real good. But I think he's maybe a little overdetailed and becomes more a Kubrick instead of Lego a minifig.

Wow, minifig customs sure have come a long way from the quick messy repaints I remember. Nifty!
