Hot Toys - MMS 117 Terminator 2 Model T-800 spec + hi-res pics

[a-dev]

Being an ebay noob I decided not to take any chances. I will suffer customs this time. Of course I know I'm going to regret it with every fibre of my being when I'm handing over the money

Very lucky find- assembled and the correct color. Now to strip those tassles off. I can't picture the Terminator riding anything with tassles.

Maybe Irish customs are less tough, plus i doubt you have the same VAT and customs fees in Ireland than we have here in Sweden

Was it you that bought it?

 

[ali032373]

I'm guessing a dev bought it as he's talking about paying customs fees and stuff.

 

[CyberVillain]

I think its because he lost his ebay virginity recently, but I could be wrong...

Ended up getting a raise at work + a nice bonus, so I pulled the trigger and swooped up on that remaining Tamiya 1/6 Harley Fat Boy kit on eBay this evening.

Now I need another MMS117 to go full-time once I build the Harley, since I kit-bashed my existing MMS117 for the M134 minigun scene.

That is just sick!

With the Harley costing more than the T-800, which one is considered the accessory now?

Congrats on the purchase.

Nice! What did it go for?
Do not try to attempt building that without a airbrush and good knowledge on how to apply car paint on a small scale, it's pretty easy to paint it as a brand new factory bike. Its harder if you wanna weather it..

Read up on using correct glue too, the ____ they sell in stores is ____.

Heres a Swedish site (In English) with lots, and lots of good tips and tutorials on glueing, painting and weathering models, i've used it alot

Congrats. It looks amazing once you put it together. I did a thread on OSW that showed my progress when I assembled it and what I used. Maybe it can help if needed. Putting this together will test your patienece but when you see the finished product you'll love it.

Oh I see. I though the paint is the same as the one in the cover (blue). Thanks for clarifying that up!
