I
painted him like the one from the first movie, though the
base is from the second movie. (both good movies too). It
is built stock, with just paint and chalk weathering details.
This is a plastic kit, not resin or vinyl. It stands about
10 inches high.
I
know there are dozens of vinyl Predator kits out there,
but this model kit is really is well done, and a good detail
painting job is all it requires.
I
used all kinds of colors. The green on his body, along with
the 'spot' pattern, was painted over with high gloss, to
kind of give it a "wet" look.
