Pirkleations Full Scale P1 Cannon Review
March 2nd, 2006
In our first friendly review with our new layout, I’d like to introduce a beautiful non-production piece buy a very talented artist and friend, Pirkleations, and this is his first edition P1 style Plasma Cannon.

First off, this particular piece is a fan-built item for his personal collection and a few friends, so this is a non-production item, although my understanding is that this has somehow landed in the hands of a re-caster. Either way, this beautiful piece is very accurate full size replica of the Plasma Cannon mounted to the shoulder of the Predator in the first movie. The paint application of the piece I photographed for this review was done by Pirks himself, and the blending of silvers is just perfect, and the flat black aging and charred effect is brilliant. The piece is obviously well crafted with great attention to detail and no warping or strange shape. It’s also quite hefty, and feels very solid in your hand. Unlike the Carlart version, this is only the main cannon section and does not include any sort of base apparatus, but it’s such a detailed sculpt that it makes a beautiful addition to the display case.
The official release date of this piece is December 2005, and is cast in solid resin. If you would like to pick one up for yourself, check and see if Pirks has any left by contacting him at via email here!
So a job very well done Pirks, you should be proud of this cannon and I look forward to seeing new goodies from you in the future! You can find more picture’s of this cannon by clicking the photo icon below:
