Predator Clan Leader

Post by GoN2Broadway » Mon Jun 28, 2010 3:54 pm

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.


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_postst2 ... dator.aspx

I like, I like. I'm not familiar with the arm blades being used anywhere in the Predator movies or subsequent Predator vs. Alien movies. Maybe I'm just forgetting them. You should have one of their wrist bombs with the markings :twisted: That would be wicked.

Playing with LEGO when I can. Where does the time go?

Thanks Legitmatealex - If you watch Alien Vs. Predator you will see the wrist blades (and long ones like those found on this figure). I will work on a wrist gauntlet which will have the thermonuclear device in it :)
