During my visit to Koh Samui island last week as i was having a walk around the local industrial area of Koh Samui i came across the Alien workshop where they were producing copies of the Destructive Predator that appeared in the movie Predator the main actor been Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It wasn't any huge factory just like a couple of normal size shops opened up as one with not a lot of tools or machinery a very messy shop a few hammers some panel beating tools and a metal cutting machine with some oxy bottles for welding.
They didn't mind me taking photos of the predators out front of the shop but they didn't want me taking photos of inside the workshop this was understandable for certain reasons but these huge 3 meter tall predators been made in this factory were mind blowing considering the tools they had to work with.
And producing them at low cost gathering lots of spare parts from cars and motor bikes , if you look closely you can see what car parts and motor bike parts are been used like motor bike chains , car brake pads , clutch flywheels and plates , wheel bearings , brake drums and many more parts.
Sheet metal was used for the bigger body parts for the chest and legs and this was all beated into shape by hand with a hammer and dolly by these young Thai enthusiastic engineers just having fun it was like a hobby to them but what a amazing looking predator when job finished i would put one in my front yard for Halloween and i would invite the guitar predator to my birthday anytime of cause you would need a crane to deliver these monstrous predator.
