MeanGene Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Project Jungle Hunter is meant to be an old school Hunter's Lair build project. We are so fortunate to have this ultracal mold of the original predator. The mold having been made at Stan Winston's shop back in the day of an original head. Doesn't get any closer to the original than this. But he has no mandibles... Well that's where we come in. Let's rebuild it in whatever ways we want. Enjoy. This will be fun to follow. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutank Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Man I’ve been waiting for this. I say open and close mouth like sort of a giant hot toy type of interchangeable mandible’s?? Just my two cents. What a great find!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutank Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Love to see the back of it. I’d like to see it stay all P1 original, top to bottom not a custom. Edited November 5, 2022 by Tutank 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanGene Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Here is a quick look at the molds. Will make a deep dive video showing the molds, tell the story of who made them, how they came from Stan Winstons shop back in the day and how they came to us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutank Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I see a small mold on the right is that for the mandibles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGene Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 The small mold. Yes was given to me with the larger mold. From what I was told it is of some old Scott Marshall Mandibles. Whatever the case. Will not be using that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutank Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 How many dreads were on the head sculpt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGene Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Good question. When I am back at the shop I will take a look and count them. Will post pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGene Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 I didn't have any time to devote to posting an update on this mold and the casting. I've been dealing with a water main leak at my home which will require full replacement to the street. Bogus. Promise I will get some more details up next week. Have yet to count the dred holes, but I will do a full 360 tour of the head and mold. Thanks everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutank Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Sorry about your water troubles, life always throws things at you. I will be here waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutank Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Anything moving on the jungle hunter project? Edited December 11, 2022 by Tutank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGene Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Zero movement unfortunately. When my water main blew at home it killed all my momentum. As I do this for fun and not a career path its sometimes hard to give it complete focus. Rest assured it will happen. I will get my ass down there and make a video showing this thing off and explaining it. Give me some time. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutank Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Any forward progress on the P1 build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGene Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 I managed to get the head filled properly with foam and then mounted to a bust. This was an important step. Now I will be able to make the silicone mold. Once the mold is done resin armatures will be made. Will also make clay pours for sculpting the face section. I am waiting to mold it at the same time as the Juggernaut Bio. Want to do all the molding at once for both pieces. My 9-5 gig has ramped up again and is pulling me away from these projects so I have no firm timeline. But it's at the top of the list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
