Thank you guys. If anyone is on Facebook I run a custom business on there. This was a "test" and tomorrow I start the clients one. Still not sure if I'm going to hell for breaking such a wonderful piece of engineering but hey.

Finally completed the tanker truck BD look. I think it's almost everything. Jacket was weathered and added gloss, head and neck repainted to look more zombie-like, blood added on neck and hip, pants and bots weathered and torn at the appropriate knee, bottom and hip. Hopefully I got everything as close to the real thing as possible.

Looks fantastic Jameson buddy. Here's a sneak peak at a client commission I'm working on.

Yeah Arnie looked like something out of Dawn Of The Dead when he got in the tanker, I thought.

He did indeed. A true nightmare as he should be. One of the many reasons T1 is a cult classic. Here's a T1 bust capturing that moment in the film

Nice collection, T1 is my favourite I think, just the darker tone and all, oh and Arnie plays a great bad guy. + it spawned maybe the greatest line in movie history.

I'll be honest that bust looks very strange.

I'm not sure what you were trying to convey with the additional pics. It's nothing personal, that just looks super weird to me man. The proportions are pretty bad.

 

[Davea1982]

Lol bust looks fine in person. Probably just the angle of the photograph.

Thanks! What is that, actually?

Agreed. The MMS figure looks too human, nothing like the messed up T-800 in the film. He's supposed to look bleach white and like there's no blood going trough his face. This is the only case where HT's realism fails the figure.

Pretty cool bust!

Thanks guys!! And the custom is going to be a future war Infiltrator but heavily damaged. Currently waiting for the outfit but will post here once complete.

Anybody needs a photo of how the zombie eye should look, here it is:

and it's not even fully painted there. it's just the start.
the best zombie eye is on that doll prop, i think.

That's correct. It's amazing how HT totally got the paint wrong on the 238. It's 100% incorrect. He's supposed to look bleach white, with flesh getting more purple at the exposed parts and the eye being lips and purple and blue. Why the heck did they gave him the DX13 human skin tone is beyond me.

I guess they figured that people wouldn't appreciate the difference in colour between head and neck. But I agree with you - I would've appreciated a much paler paint job - for both heads.

Good point. I guess at the same time HT also forgot that he's supposed to be scary in the first film. The expression on his face also comes off a bit "heroic" rather than "decaying evil SOB" to me.
