Terminator 2 sideshow mini busts

No problem, the camera's important, but my shoe-mount flash has been a very beneficial investment. I can pivot it on a horizontal axis and have some rotation on a vertical axis, so I can bounce the light off of walls and ceilings to soften the effect, that helps get the nicer lighting quality, capturing it with a better camera just takes the quality further.

Argh.. i see what you mean... very nice indeed!

Ya, it's a great lighting source for collectibles because of their scale, and it's great when you don't have the space to have a true studio setup with standard lights. I also have a cable connector so I can hold the flash off the camera a bit too, I'm going to invest in a remote for it soon so I can set it up wherever and a radio signal will set it off, that should free me to do some real interesting things.

This is a great mini bust, and in my opion it's the best of the 3 regular ones, with T-1000 behind it and the regular T-800 in 3rd. I didn't get the SDCC Connor because I don't have much interest in that incarnation of the character. One thing I love bout the Legendary Scale and Mini Busts of the T-800 is Sideshow's ability to make polystone look like leather, his jacket in all 3 pieces looks so good, and after years of Gentle Giant putting out so-so textures with their Star Wars bust clothes, this is very refreshing.

While my set-up isn't nearly as professional and high-tech as MaulFan's is, here are my contributions to the BD T-800 mini-bust, which is one of the freakin' COOLEST items I have!!!!
