Re: Building the ultimate Terminator T-800 figure.

I did put the outfit on the SS body, but it's too short in the legs and arms. boo! So I stuck it on the True Type body I got from paulcarson. I added a bit of padding on his chest to bulk him out abit more.
Obviously with the HT body he's not as tall or bulky, but looking at him up on the shelf he looks fine. I really want to take some photos of him.

Re: Building the ultimate Terminator T-800 figure.

a new body and the saturday toys outift are pretty much needed imo on the original figure.
Strangely enough the only thing I'm now using with the original is the shotgun and I don't think i will be soon !

Re: Building the ultimate Terminator T-800 figure.

The only thing I'm stuck on is the boots! they look way to small. I have him wearing a pair of work boots at the moment, they look better as they are more in scale, but not accurate at all.

Re: Building the ultimate Terminator T-800 figure.

I think everyone has had this problem and yeah , I still haven't decided myself on the boots. I check every now and then on ebay but its not an easy task to find em.
I will let you know if I see anything that looks good.

Re: Building the ultimate Terminator T-800 figure.

Guys i was wondering, if i bought another HT Terminator t-800 head would it be possible for someone on this board to customize it to make it more screen accurate? I have seen some killer customs with the HT head as a base for the custom head. Would anybody else be willing to buy another head or let the one on their existing t-800 be used? It's a good head and looks pretty cool IMO but not screen accurate.

Pick up the one from Frontline for an awesome T1 custom...it's outstanding when painted.
