Custom Red Elder

[Hiro]

Long time ago I had the opportunity to get my hands on an Elder head + Ancient Bio. It was a really good trade for me so I took it 😁



Once the mask has arrived I gave it away for the paintjob. I wanted to have him in a red style inspired by this figure I saw online

Here are some pictures of the painting process

 

I ordered Beads and Dreads from a local Clan Mate

Beads are painted by myself, these days I was really happy with how they turned out

 

I glued the Dreads onto the mask, added a little piercing on the tusk and finished everything, so here's the finished head with Bio Mask

 

Unfortunately I don't own this mask anymore. I sold it to fund an other project. 

But I really liked it and wanted to share it with all of you 🥰

Great build thread.
The red is wicked aggressive. Anger Management Pred!

The helmet reminds of a halo, meets star wars fighter pilot. I like it.

Thanks!

I never really liked the paintjob of the Bio. The person who painted it for me kind of rushed to the process of painting it. 

I always wanted to change it, but never did until I sold it 😅

so many push the colors into the brighter range...

this is a very realistic hunter and the paint scheme is on point

killer job on this build....all of it

Such a cool design. Love the red. 

[Hiro]

Thanks!

After Years I finally know who sculpted that head. Colm told me it was from Bob Baggy. 

I'm biting my ass that I sold it. I'll try to get my hands back on it 😁

I was about to say the same, i am not a big fan of the bright colors. He is a Predator, a hunter. How easy would be to spot him on top of a tree?

But this one, has a very nice red, dark tone. I could totally see him as a badblood clan leader. Very nice concept for sure.

And yes, thats definitely one of Bob's masks. Nowdays, a lot of his mask P1, Elder, Berserker are rare to find around.

Actually I haven't paid anything for the head and bio. I got it through a really good trade. I traded it against an custom lightsaber I made all in all it was worth around 200€ I think 🤔

So really good deal for me!

It got painted by a friend of mine, she didn't want anything for it. 

For Dreads and Beads I paid around 150€ if I remember correctly

He was as happy with the saber as I was with the mask 😁

Win, Win for both 😊

And I have to say that I had no idea how expensive this mask is when we did that trade 😅
