Son of Hobgoblin's sci-fi thread: the Predator from Prey!

My son kitbashed and painted up this fellow:

And here's how he did it:

 That is pretty damn cool. your son has talent.

[twrchtrwyth]

Nice work.

[swiftnick]

Nice one! I particularly like the eyes.

Nice one! I particularly like the eyes.

Oh yes!

That is pretty damn cool. your son has talent.

Takes after his Mum then? 

Nice work from the young  Neophyte.

Love it 👍

[Grumpy Gnome]

Nicely done! Respect!

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks, chaps!

He's just put up a 'how to' painting video

[Idle Doodler]

I envy him the steady hand to do two highlights on the eyes!

[Spinal Tap]

This needs to stop.

Now.

I can't cope with this level of painting talent in someone younger than most of my underwear.

And he's even better as a film maker and presenter.



Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh

LOL that's pretty funny but you should be proud of the inspiration you've been to him. Cool thing to bond over with your son. And now you'll always have an opponent to game with too.

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks very much - he's delighted with the feedback! He's got a new video coming up soon, but here are a couple of other things he's done recently.

The first, which he built and painted a while back without completing the base, is a scratch-built 'sand beast' made from tinfoil and Fimo. The second is a 'bead bot' in the style of the amazing Bill Making Stuff YouTube channel. It's made from wire, beads and a pencil-sharpener, although I think he cut the rotary blade from plasticard.

The lad definitely has talent.

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks!

Here's his latest video:



It's about how he made this beastie (from some computer game, apparently ...):
