Predator - Start of a long term project
« on: June 03, 2022, 09:13:17 AM »
'Predator' from 1987 was already a trend-setting genre film at the time, but no one could have imagined that it would become such an exciting connection between two franchises.

At first glance at the model design, it was clear to me that I wanted to do something with it. Papsikel's Kickstarter campaign then featured not only all the characters from the first Predator movie, but also those from Predator 2 and the explorer team from Alien vs. Predator. Of course, there were also a lot of Predator and Alien models and incredible more exciting stuff included.

So far I've only 3D printed and painted models from the first movie and I'm trying to find a rule system or adapt one, so that it represents my ideas and the feeling of the movie well on the gaming table. I have also designed a few event deck cards as prototypes, that represents the kind of style I'm going for.

So here is the project as it looks so far.

3D resin prints, STLs by Papsikel. Basing bits STLs by GoonMasterGames. Event deck cards designed with InkScape.

Those sculpts look absolutely amazing, no doubt more so with such excellent painting.

I love not only the idea but the execution and attention to detail, I can't wait to see where you go with this.

Oh rats; that'd be another deep rabbit hole to fall into! 

Excellent painting, and photography! 8)

The minis look really spot on too btw.

Please give us more!  :D

They look very good.

I bought the Papsikels Alien Kickstarter and was very impressed.
