    As I recall, there was a Bob Naismith interview a while back that stated GW's first few plastic kits - the RT-era ones - were all produced in much smaller runs than most injection manufacturing jobs, so they just got whatever colour plastic the third-party company they used had in the hopper from the previous job. The RTB01 marines were produced in something like five different colours of plastic over the years!
    In the early nineties they bought the company they were using at the time, that's probably when they standardised on grey.

    The sexy sax music makes me feel like I’m at a warhammer speak easy hidden away down a misty alleyway where there’s a street lamp broken away from its housing, causing it to subtly sway back and forth, illuminating the entrance.

    Just like in the real world tanks at one time were set up to be used as different things. Some had an anti-tank role and some were meant to be there to support infantry. Now tanks are more of a one sized fits all type fighting vehicle. They are not as specialized as they were in WW 2. Having the sponson options, makes this Predator way more useful on the table. Great job repairing this model. It looked battle scarred, but it probably should be dirtier. Some mud on the tracks and a bit of oil and dirt on it. A Predator with battle damage should be dirtier. I think I still have one of these sealed up in the box. I want to get one and do something like this too, but i don't want to open my box. have to see what is on eBay. Very inspiring.

    I was wondering for a moment why that box art you showed didn't spark any nostalgic recognition, until you got to the earlier era box, and then it clicked. My own Predator wasn't quite as harshly treated as that one - at least, most of the damage was in pursuit of converting it, not trying to set fire to it - but I was similarly 'generous' with how much paint I slopped onto it, those obscured sculpted details from before you set to work look very familiar. I've no idea whether my old tank is in someone's drawer or a landfill now, but it's very satisfying to see a similar one brought back to glory.

    did the same recently to a more recent predator, I rediscovered in my parents basement. must have been sitting there for about 17 years. Fortunately there was only the terrible paintjob, some gaps and broken-off sponsons to fix.
    I wanted one for my world eaters anyways so I did a rough fix for the sponsons, which is kinda fitting to the army, filled the gaps with spruegoo, smacked some new paint on it and it came out way better than I'd ever imagined. Rough enough to fit into a world eaters army, but still technically sound.

    Every time I watch one of your videos, I get compelled to dig out all my old tanks (land raider/predator etc) and 2nd edition minis. I just don't have the time or space!
    Fantastic work though, and great to see another model saved 😊

    very nice, but i recommend using dettol, you can bath it and the paint gets goey and just falls off.
    best part you can leave it in the year a year and it wont damage the plastic.

      I have dettolled before and it is banned from my house

    Just discovered this channel. I'm more of a 4th edition era 40k guy, but I love love love the older aesthetics, and its so nice to see people rescuing models like this. Keep it up!

    This hits me with some serious déjà vu. I still have 2 Rhinos and a Predator tank from my 2nd edition BA. My Predator has a crushed genestealer on the front with a severed arm hanging off the autocannon(?) barrel. All pretty good for an 11 year old. I think I pooled some superglue to give a 3D effect to the GS blood (but I painted it green!? Aliens/Predator fan, I guess) and...... I too also used a match to give 1 of the Rhinos some 'realistic' damage. Nothing like the blowtorch that hit your poor Predator. Obviously, as an adult, I now see this as heresy (and do NOT encourage kids to repeat my foolishness, although I was smart enough to do it outside in the open air, away from anything flammable) but at the time, pre-internet, it seemed like a pretty decent hack to inject some realism into my tank.

    I am pretty sure the switch from cream to grey plastic would have happened at the same time as the switch to hybrid metal/plastic kits, so 1995/96 lime you mentioned, at least for the predator. Non-vehicle models might have been made with grey plastic earlier, I remember getting the 6-man multipart plastic space marine combat squads in grey plastic at the same time as the cream predator.

    Multiple thick layers of paint, snapped exhausts and artisan bespoke battle damage. Just as nature intended.

    Theoretically, that chevron pattern on the back of the Predator could be a cooling vent for the engine. I know the Rhino chassis doesn't have an engine in that location, so maybe it's the cooling vent for the lascannons' battery?

    This is SUCH a lovely restoration! Only thing that might improve it further would be cleaning the mold lines on the smoke launchers near the barrel

    Looking at the finished article you wouldn't believe it was literally a burnt mess when you started.
    And using spares isn't cheating. It's bloody sensible considering the price of individual replacements on eBay.

    awesome job there.
    i remember the one i used to have but i played space wolves not ultramarines, that was until my army was stolen when the house was broken into. the problems i faced was the barrel was very fragile aswell as the coms antennas and kept snapping off so the barrel i steel pinned and that did the trick nicely and the antenna i used some steel wire aswell which gave a nice effect

      @Miniscape-wh40k  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm sorry to hear your army was stolen. I have never had that but I lost a large nid army in a house move. Those older models were fragile too.

    Maybe you did this without saying it, but it helps to look over the model and think: where would the crew physically interact with this? Where would the maintenence crew work on it? Where might unit regularly climb on or off ot it? Then that will help you show where wear and tear might be. Where might a blind spot be for the driver/nagivator? Maybe a turn or movement would cause a section to rub a wall or rock face, or climbing over things.

    Hmm, when I was 11 years old, Warhammer was still some 15 years in the future. I had to make do with model cars and airplanes. Which my father helped me paint with a Badger airbrush. I still have the same model airbrush, but not the actual item.
