Hey Rob!

Of course... I used this... Really nice to put in as it's soft vynil plastic like HT head so you scoop out the HT eye and squeeze in this one and get minimal gaps.

I repainted the whole thing, chrome acrylic paint really brought it to life.

That looks stunning! I love it! Its really giving me ideas :) I see that generic head all over the place too and I never would have thought to do that. I'd love for someone to do a complete tutoriol with pics on that. Ive never modified anything outside a little touch up with paint and maybe some mods on clothes( tears, sewing etc). Great job man I cant wait to see the final product:rock
 
Thanks guys!!

You can see how I cut out the eye from that head, I then took a dremel to get it really close to the silver part, trying to leave nothing that was not blood or Endo.

Cutting the eye out of the HT head was hard, I started with an exacto knife cutting chunks away, I them took to hollowing and dremeling the socket out... i would go trial and error, inserting the eye, cutting more away etc.

Repainting the head was the hardest part. when you strip off the factory paint, hes ghastly white underneath. I left only the eye and the hair but had to repaint his harline.

When I inserted the eye I filled in a couple small gaps with sculpy. I then painted a bloody boarder around the cut. Finally I repainted the eye with chrome silver and blackwashed in fine details.

Then I sealed it with dullcoat and semi glossed the blood and eyes.
 
A big step closer to finishing my dream terminator! Really happy with what I was able to accomplish, the crappy iphone pics dob;t do justice but I' happy with my complete face repaint and transplant.

:horrorAbsolutely stunning job!:clap:clap:clap
I thought about using a frontline hero T1 head for the endo eye if I ever decided on doing this to mine.
This head youve used looks much easier and better to use.
Ive seen this many times on ebay too and didnt think about using that one:slap
I couldnt paint the face as good as youve done though because ive never painted a face before :(
Again, amazing work there.
 
So happy I got this.
I remember wanting to skip it as T2 Arnie is the more favorite character of mine, but damn, did this figure grow on me. I think its my most favorite figure as of now.

The head sculpt and clothes are :horror

Looks very impressive on display. Very.:exactly:
 
I was told that if you couldn't get Blade II hands or Bank Robber Joker hands that Sideshow Toys Cobra (the troopers) were the next best thing. I'm waiting in the mail for some now.
