Cloaking predator from Predator 2. I got the NECA figure the other day and had to give this a go.
A WIP of sorts. I don't intend to do this scene again but was thinking more of the inner city stuff. I have a bit to do on the Pred but there is enough here to get the feel I think. I've used that new clear piece that comes in the small avengers set to get the parts to come together.
The Predator looks really cool in real life, but is incredibly difficult to photograph. The headpiece is based on vitreolum's recent Predator build.

Sorry to post more photos but I want to try to get more of my archive pics on here. Please don't feel the need to comment because I probably won't be able to stay on flickr long except to post. Have a nice evening everyone! Hugs!

The red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.
Males are 38 to 58 cm (15 to 23 in) long and weigh on average 550 g (1.21 lb). Females are slightly larger at 47 to 61 cm (19 to 24 in) in length and a mean weight of 700 g (1.5 lb). The wingspan can range from 90 to 127 cm (35 to 50 in). Adult birds can vary in mass from 460 to 930 g (1.01 to 2.05 lb). Among standard measurements, the wing bone is 28–35 cm (11–14 in) long, the tail is 16–24 cm (6.3–9.4 in) long and the tarsus is 7.5–9 cm (3.0–3.5 in).[6] Adults have brownish heads, reddish chests, and pale bellies with reddish bars. Their tails, which are quite long by Buteo standards, are marked with narrow white bars. Red "shoulders" are visible when the birds are perched. These hawks' upper parts are dark with pale spots and they have long yellow legs. Western birds may appear more red, while Florida birds are generally paler. The wings of adults are more heavily barred on the upper side. Juvenile red-shouldered hawks are most likely to be confused with juvenile broad-winged hawks, but can be distinguished by their long tails, crescent-like wing markings, and a more flapping, Accipiter-like flight style. In direct comparison, it is typically larger and longer proportioned than the Broad-wing, though is slightly smaller and more slender than most other common North American Buteos. This bird is sometimes also confused with the widespread red-tailed hawk. That species is larger and bulkier, with more even-sized, broad wings and is paler underneath, with a reddish tail often apparent. The Red-tail is also more likely to soar steadily, with wings in a slight dihedral.

"Nothing like it has ever been on earth before. It kills for pleasure, it hunts for sport. But this time, it picked the wrong man to hunt."
('Major Alan 'Dutch' Schaefer' by NECA)
The American Alligator is one of the success stories of U.S. wildlife conservation. It was hunted nearly to extinction for its skin, which was used to make purses, boots and other leather goods. But in 1967, this species was placed on the endangered species list, which banned hunting these reptiles. Alligators made an amazing comeback. Today, they are no longer endangered, and some states even allow them to be hunted again.
American alligators are highly successful carnivorous predators. They have protection through bony plates called osteoderms, which line their back. Their long bodies, powerful tails, and webbed feet make them powerful, agile and swift in water. Their snouts are upward facing, which allows them to breathe while nearly completely submerged. Their coloration provides ideal camouflage; In passing, they almost look like floating logs!
-- American Alligator 'Did You Know'? --
‧ America alligators are part of the Alligatoridae family, which they share with other alligators and caiman.
‧ They live around freshwater-based habitats in the south and southeastern United States.
‧ The average male grows to about 11 feet (3.4 meters), while some become much longer.
‧ A female typically lays 35 to 50 eggs at one time.
‧ As an alligator's teeth are worn down, they are replaced. An alligator can go through 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.
‧ The sex of an egg is determined by temperature of its nest.

The resident " Augur Buzzard " at the WBS. These birds are native to Africa so I was told. I still think they look like a hawk for as little as I know.

This is a male twin-lobed deerfly (Chrysops Relictus)
I have been spotting more and more horse-flies and deer flies this past week, so be careful when taking a walk. Wear proper clothing and try to avoid a nature walk near water at warm days. These little vampire (girls) are intriguing but can definitely hurt!
Another photo of our cat trying to be a predator behind the window glass.
This photo was taken using an M.Zuiko 40-150 Pro lens @40mm.
Another one of her favorite games, climbing on the valnut tree. This posture remindes me of big predators.
A Northern Shrike, i.e. pint-sized predator of birds, at Riverbend, #Calgary. Rather hard to find this shy but fierce bird.
Not many predators are as beautiful as these.
(I tried a get a good composition with this relaxed cheetah, to get the curve of his body run from corner to corner and his face resting on this curve. He didn't disappoint me =)
