Action Figure 1/1 Terminator 2 (1991) T-800 bust (Schwarzenegger)

[PacMan3000]

Looks great, Joe. I'd be interested in seeing the difference in this bust's appearance once you add glass eyes.

 

[klocket]

Awesome... just plain awesome!

that is a dead on likeness...insanely good work!

 

[godaiking]

Totally forgot about this thread. Here's some new pics with glass eyes, but I think the iris is a bit too dark blue.

Still a bit off in likeness, but I like it how it came out.

OH MY GOD.

Are you god? Surely to have made something like that you could have created us all too.

 

[jstep13]

Your work is so amazing!

Thanks for the comments, although I am FAR from God as am a bit

Do you have a collection of 1:1 Busts? If so you should make a collection thread of them all

 

[Gipetto0812]

Looking great godaiking! I loved your T1 1:1 and bet I'll love this one too!

Who's to say god isn't ? He created us right? And not to mention in his image.

But besides that yea that's some awesome work. Seen your auctions on eBay too. These go for a pretty high dollar. People love your work.

True. To do this kind of work, I think it's sort of required to be a little IMO.

Anyhow, I'm actually building one of these this week and taking it to see Edward Furlong at Frank and Sons this weekend. I think that'll be pretty interesting.

That sounds awesome! What if he asks you where the Young John Connor bust is? What will you say to him then. I track down Arnie and show it to him instead.

Haven't made one of these in awhile. Just finished up one of these using my new version 2 bust. Heres a pic:

Hair looks weird.

Thank you for your thorough critique.

Here's a newer bust I just made. Skin tone is more accurate.

 

[j97e1]

He probably meant the hairline. It's a bit too sharp.
PS - Working on our list, but probably wont have much time till after new year's. On it though.

The thing is you are very limited in what you can do when laying a wig on a resin bust like this . It can easily look like its just stuck on. Im guessing Joe used the Gregory wig on this which looks nothing like it does here and needs major trimming, shaping, styling and fitting. Unless you route it, which would be near on impossible on a terminator bust like this, it will never be 100% dead on.

I think Joe has done an incredible job in getting this as close as he can to Arnie 1:1 scale. Its pretty much dead on in every way. I just hope he eventually does the t1 damaged tanker truck version at some point

 

[TheCableGuy]

Very impressive work Godaiking . I think you've been progressing at your technique as I seen some of your earlier work and it just keeps getting better. I'm liking the small things you've done to the skin which makes a huge difference in the final look

 

[Alainator]

Looks amazing! Great talent and skill! That is something that Sideshow could never achieve!

Thanks bro. Just as gypsy says, there's only so much I can do with a resin bust and a wig (yes, I'm usng a Gregory wig). If I were to make this sculpt in silicone, it would a) take more time and b) be way more expensive.

And yes, the next and last terminator sculpt I am doing is tanker truck battle damage t1. Be back soon with a build thread!
