TALK TO DA HAND! T3 Arnie 1/1 bust build up!

[godaiking]

That one might be mine!!

Different lighting, but here's the link to the hi-res shot if you want to inspect it.

It looks great next to the sideshow endoskull. I'll post some pics when I get the lighting right (the endoskull looks better with good lighting).

Thanks Joe!!

Here's Arnie with better lighting:

And here's Arnie with the Sideshow Endoskull (the money shot):

Hey Jack,

Try messing the hair up a bit. Looks a bit too....squished together. Also, try taking pics without the flash. Kinda washes out the bust a bit.

But yeah, looking good.

Yeah, I noticed the hair after I took the shots. Gonna fix it some more today.

As far as the flash goes........I wasn't using one in those shots. But the lighting was odd. I had different types of lights and the window open. I haven't figured out proper lighting for pics yet. I'll leave that to you.

Here's some other pics I just did of some other T3's for customers:

Still working out the T2 Stage 4 Battle Damage.

Man, that is some amazing work there...

I don't really know what everyone's beef is with T3...i thought it was a great action flick and much much MUCH better than that abomination known as Salvation...

I would be proud to own this bust, in fact, i can't believe no one is putting this on a full size full bodied mock up...you could bash it together and make your own style too...most "regular" folks couldn't tell the difference in the detail anyway...they would just be like "Holy Crap! it's the Terminator!"

Well, here's my mindset. Arnie seems to be tricky to nail with a bust. I've been a big fan of his for many years. This bust is from a laser-scan done by Gentle Giant for T3. This bust (to me and with sunglasses on) looks to be the most accurate one around. If you look closely in person, you can see indentations of his pores on the bust. That's pretty incredible.

Your other options just will not have the same level of detail as this one. You can get the sideshow one, but it's not really 1:1 and looks too thin. You can turn this one into a T2 version by getting rid of wrinkles and basically losing detail.

My family (who are not into this stuff) couldn't believe this bust in person. They just kept staring at it. Normally, they're like "ok, what did you get now...........how nice." They were kind of freaked out at how real it looks.

Just my point of view. I'm very happy with it. Everyone thinks Arnold looks cool in T1 and T2. I think he looks cool in T3 as well. Yes, he has aged between T2 and T3, but to me it's no big deal.

And I guess if all else fails, you could just change the sunglasses to the T2 version.

I hope I helped out with some insights.

True, but like Jack and Greedowan said, it's the closest to arnie you can get since it was laser scanned from his face back in 02 or 03.

Actually, I'm using the same bust to reverse engineer a T2 and T1 sculpt (that have been on the back burner forever now....ugh...). The T2 is just about done (just need to fine tune a couple of areas and add pores). I plan on using the T2 specifically for a stage 4 battle damaged bust.

Thanks for the responses. I knew the bust was from a scan from T3, but what I was trying to state is why T3? As a fan use the scan and make it into a T1/T2 first.

You could alter it to make it a T2 bust (or T1) but to me you'd be losing the amazing amount of detail from this bust. If you look up-close you see all sorts of intricacies of Arnie's face. And knowing it's all "real" and not artificial detail is really cool.

If the detail (or lack of) isn't a concern for you, then yep, you absolutely can make a T2 bust out of it. I think Godaiking has an experimental version on ebay right now. Check it out!!

Nailed it, bro. That's how I look at it. The T3 is closest your gonna get to actual full on life cast to his face at the time.

The T1 and T2 I'm doing look good but the details in skin will definitely not be as humanly accurately as the T3.

THanks Dino, i really needed a laugh, after that debacle on ESPN

that bust does have astounding likeness

 

[a-dev]

Pics on page one with the longer hair look like Arnie as Hugh Grant! But my god everything else is....its like someone decapitated the governator.

This sculpt is amazing.....but I have to say...this last shot here is creepy as ____.

Man, I've come a long way.

Got another one up. This one came out better than the last one, IMO:
