Nice pics Marty & AJK :clap This pair is beyond fun!

Still didn't put together the second body but gave everything a more thorough inspection yesterday & today. Holy cow man. This set is insane and wild for it. The Soldier sculpt with Rainman's paint in hand is unbelievable. Very strong likeness and the best realism of all the versions. IMO this has bumped Dude & Doc down a notch in his hierarchy of greats. This sits at the top of the totem with Bill & Anton. The clothes are of course top tier pieces but these jeans could easily have come from Kato. The wash, stitching and fit are carbon copy pages right out of his book.

I'm nuts about these guns. They are not models that are easily found on the market thus pretty difficult to bash with this level of accuracy. The arm sling is on a totally other level.

My main nits: WATP pin could have been attached in a less permanent way; he showed the rubber guards on the arms of the shades in the protos, but the revised glasses didn't have them; King Kong & winged patches are inaccurate; the M65 could have been slightly bigger for that oversized look; my main one... he gave us the knife in an irremovable sheath (sculpted sheath instead of blade)


Excuse the crappy quick pics; just wanted to show that the T-1000 hands work pretty well for this guy for various things and the skin tone is a decent match too













 
I'm going to be approaching someone about doing the accurate patches and button pretty soon. I'm not sure how many people will be down to remove the stiched in Rainman patch versions, but I'm going to.

I also wish that the m-65 were able to zip open all the way? The tanker jkt was treated to that really nice zipper but not the m-65

In hindsight I'm thinking that a winking aim sculpt would have been a great version to have. I hope future sculpts from artists include this version. Gesture is what brings a sculpts likeness to life.

I was checking out the button on him and I knew it was glued to the jacket flap. I took the button off which was pretty and starting picking at the glue. It was almost like glue from a hot glue gun. It was coming off fairly easy but I just couldn't get it all the way off, so I just glued it back on. Basically be carefull if you plan to take the button off.
 
I am in love with this figure!

The t 1000 hands color r matching Very well, but i think the hands r huge..., Very desproportional...
 
Anyone know any shoes that would be similar to original. Need for a kitbash. Also any jacket similar to driver jacket? Have been looking but found none.

Hi guys, am i the only one facing this issue: it seems that the chest piece while peripherally align properly but internally, there are two issues:

1) the upper screws dont match the holes (.slightly) so they keep rotating around them. Checked and there is no threading issue.
2) the holes in which the arm male parts go in.. The small disc that goes in and then you clasp the torso together one of them has a slightly bigger hole meaning that the hand tends to be a bit loose.

Trying to solve it buy since this is my first rm, i don wanna screw anything.
