[shawzerful]

Hi, nice job, i just gat the same kit but im gonna keep the base, hope i can do nearly as good as you, well done

[subron6er]

looks great, need to build the rest of the beast.... nice work... really.. thanks for showing it.

[Bpspdabest]

That's awesome dude

[deallerleukste]

it looks awsome dude!

[TheRogueMonk]

IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! love it! thank you!

[KeithWasHere1]

i just dont get why they dont try to make a fully functional (less the killing part") droid.i mean this is the perfect chassis,most of it could be made out of a some CNC aluminum.and im sure computing power is up to snuff these days to give it basic functions.

[rkttkr]

When ever I see someone that can take something and make that creative change like you've have done, well I have to take my hat off to you. That is one great custom. Those break lines and real teeth ( I wondered where my dentures went-lol)set it over the top. I like the darker eyes myself. Great job buddy.

[Detale78]

where did you get the brake lines from and the piece that connects into the skull?

[kdc43]

looks scary, good job, you must have a well equipped workshop.

[B3NN10N]

Hi mate - very nice job and I am using you as influence for the next 100 hours of my life as I have just bought one of these kits. What are rabbit ears? Thanks.

[throwingchicken]

@B3NN10N Old school TV antennas.

[TheJediCharles]

@throwingchicken

What are rabbit ears?

Wow. We can't be living THAT far into the future yet. Heck, despite areal HDTV, I still have two HDTVs with rabbit ears on them!

Beats paying cable and satellite fees!

[dikiluu]

I just ordered mine, i wish it will look like this in the end. :)

[fangocreech]

Very nice work! I actually own the M1 Endo Skull kit that this kit was recast from. (assuming this is the Thailand ebay kit) I got it when I was in Japan. It wasn't cheap! But the detail is insane. It is finally getting chromed by the company that did all the plating for Stan Winston. I too wanted to re do the base. Your work is very inspiring. Your video convinced me to alter my base before the vacuum metalizing. Thanks for sharing! Bravo!

[kyamelon]

hi!

could you please tell me the ebay seller´s nickname , so I can purchase the correct , accurate model?, I have seen a few from Thailand , but most seem to be selling a very twisted version instead f this one , also , can you please tell us the brands and name of the black base and chrome paints you used? , thanks a lot , I have been wishing to have an endoskull for a long time , but don´t have the $500 to spend on the sideshow one.

[Vidiwell100]

Great job. Nice work on the neck. The eye balls shouls be chrome though. The chrome won't last if you touch it. Try black washing into all of the crevases, to give more reality and detail. Like the lines around the eye sockets. Still excellent though. Couldn't do better myself.

[throwingchicken]

@Vidiwell100 Yeah, they should be, but I just went with what I liked best for them. I had tried chrome, even a very dark metallic, but in the end I thought the dark black eyes offered some interesting contrast. Sideshow did the same thing to their combat busts.

[chickenkoopr123]

@throwingchicken i like the black eyes better, it makes it look more evil

[xenomorpher]

I thought about doing something similar to get into model building with either a Terminator skull or Alien Chestburster, just see how far I can go with it. After watching this I figure I should considering how much they cost and how much I could do with it as a project. Great job, keep it up.

[InGen62]

where can you buy this !!!!!!!

[FuzzaGaming]

Amazing work, but the teeth fucking scare the shit out of me!

[kardtable]

Truly a work of art! I wish I had this kind of talent. How much does it sell for???

[bensonak47]

lol @ 2:02 it looks horny

[Lakis177]

robot whit Real teeth ? :P

lol

[Primetome]

Very well done 5*s

[jublywubly]

Nicely made, but it isn't a "bust". A bust is from the bottom of the chest up. ;-)

[AgothInnCloth]

Great job on that ;)

5/5

[MrMOVIECOLLECTOR]

awesome man much props for building this you are really talented.

[Homunculus2501]

Very nice job!

[OzClawhammer]

You inspired me dude, I just bought one of these Thai copies of Ebay :-) My turn now!!!

[elduderino1287]

seriously dude thats so fuckin awesome!, outstanding work!.

[deanknight333]

AWESOME, that is the best damn t800 skull iv ever seen. God i want one. The work of a true G. 11/10!!!!

[darkfuture800]

WOW, great job, would take me forever to do something like that.

[chibikay82]

you should get some red LED's for the eyes.

[paddybenson626]

soo cool man i wish i had it and the eyes are fucking spot on dude.

[murphy38]

very nice work my friend

robocop props museum.

[ronniepage]

that skull is so iconic dude. i bet that looks fucking awesome wherever you keep it on display

[ronniepage]

god damn i love that theme song.

[Partypaddo]

It;s the greatest i've ever seen!!

Just fantastic!

[mark675]

thats awesome! the music creeps me out though! lol

[cyberstein12]

nice video and sound. thank you!

[mike4567200]

ps and what and how did you make the neck from.many thanks

[mike4567200]

love your work,could you please tell me exactly what you used for the break lines and neck hydrolics and where you bought them because i cant find them any where.

[Monk1771]

Of all youtube endoskulls i´ve seen, i think this is the most accurate to the flaming terminator of the beginning of the movie T2. Congratulations!!!

[ZiotheZero]

you model's eye's don't get shine sp bright, that's alot better imo vs. the other one's I've seen on youtube. It also looks alot better too. Good job!

[throwingchicken]

Yeah, the LED's are ultra brights but I colored them with a red coating so that they emitted a deeper red.

[3819oli]

Oh, your website wont work :-(

[throwingchicken]

Working fine for me.

[izzy88hr]

Your endoskull looks awsome! What did you use for eye lenses? Which product did you buy for this alternative solution? Could you sgive me a link of the product with the red lenses? I'm from Croatia and we don't have RADIO SHACK. Thank you!

[killzoneroper]

amazing my god your good

[MrTree85]

holy shit °°°°°°°°°

[falconator64]

i have started my build. what brake lines did you wind up using? were they custom, or do they have a part #?

[throwingchicken]

I just browsed ebay until I found something suitable.

[AGENTURIEL09]

THATS WHAT THERE MADE OF!

[Vindusmekk]

Nice job man!

Especially like the paintjob, did you use regular spray paint or some other fancy brand paint?

[insanus3666]

COOL

[Darius12235]

cool saw this on terminator files website nice work!

[nicolecron]

Good job man!!! I like very much your model. I build the same kit some few months ago, i paint it with alclad 2 paint, but now im planing to make another skull but this time i will cast it into some real metal alloy. May be aluminium to save some weight or some niquel/chrome alloy to give a mirror like shine after polishing job, but then it will have more than 17 kilos of weight!!! and... it will be very expensive job!!

[YoungJezzy1232]

very nice work, i have a full size endo but this head looks amazing

[falconator64]

Ordered mine yesterday. 60 bucks shipped. I'm thinking of putting servos behind the eyes so it can look at people as they walk by.

[throwingchicken]

No bubbles, but it was warped and had to be heated to bend back into place. The Thai kit is a recast of the M1, which was cast from the real deal. The Sideshow skull is a modified version of the M1. So they have the same origins.

[kyamelon]

hi! , how bad was the thai kit? , it was warped , or with bubble holes? , also , is this a recast of the sideshow version? , or a different sculpt?, thanks! , I would like to build one for myself , after seeing your excelent work here!

[falconator64]

where did you purchase your kit, and how bad was shipping. I cant find shipping under $23.00

[throwingchicken]

After everything I think it was around $60. Be sure to get the one that comes with the most parts (unless you get a resin one), because the kits that are just a few pieces are not accurate at all.

[throwingchicken]

And I got it off of Ebay.

[zanderwitaz]

awesome work, i plan to make one in your footsteps. I prefer your paint work to the sideshow one as well. could yo tell us exactly what paint you used and where you got the rabbit ears?

[throwingchicken]

Ultra Mirror Chrome from Spaz Stix on top of a high gloss black (importaint).

[therudeboy83]

great job ;)

[chrisjako]

that is sweet... what paint did u use? ordered mine on thursday , hope it terns out like yours. :)

[throwingchicken]

Use high gloss black as the base, then Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome on top. There is a guy on ebay who found a really nice chrome paint, but he tried to charge me $50 just to tell me what the brand was. That guy can shove it up his ass.

[chrisjako]

lol ..... cheers ma dears , maybe when mines done ill make a vid so that you can see. :)

[jkno]

An awesome custom job!! Congrats!!

[liquidvenom]

That is insane, what a redo!

You should be very proud of yourself for that, the teeth and base really bring it to life, aswell as those cables, very very well done my friend : )

[stevenrude101]

IM CALLING BULLSHIT!

that is the kinda from shideshow studios at the end man

[throwingchicken]

I guess that is a compliment, since it isn't, and theirs are way nice.

[masterofhobbiton]

Nah, the sideshow one's more chromey, has worse teeth and a smaller spine. Plus, you know, he has pictures of building it. :/

The teeth teeth are really amazing. I mean, well, the whole thing's amazing of course.

[giddyup666]

Hi there guys, im real impressed with the work on Arnie....does anyone know what material was used to sculpt the new neck??

[daliman11]

wow - great job! I have the Sideshow chrome version (which u can see my vid on here). How much did it cost to buy initially? and what do u think it cost you after all the modifications???

[AggieCadet800]

This is absolutely amazing...one of the best, if not the best endoskull I've ever seen. Compared to the sideshow and the icons..this is on par with both, if not better. Awesome work my friend. Tell me, what thai recast did you get?

I'm very interested in doing something like this for myself ( The sideshow bust is so expensive nowdays). Im decent at bodywork for vehicles and I have plenty of work with models and such.

Once again, great work and a awesome job 10 for 10!

[throwingchicken]

Thank you! It was one of those cruddy vinyl recasts. I got it off of ebay from the user cyber_model. You want to make sure you get the one that comes in many vinyl pieces because the one that is a single vinyl piece isn't even close to accurate. There are better options too, if you are willing to spend a little extra cash.

[eproductions2008]

beautiful

[mlasschuyt]

Incredible job, looks amazing indeed, but why didn't you paint the eyeballs silver?

[throwingchicken]

I gave it a shot, even did a very dark chrome finish to them, like half and half, but in the end I just liked black eyes better.

[ELSOMOVIE]

Incredible job !! but way you paint it black first ?

[throwingchicken]

The gloss black makes the chrome paint look much more richer.

[GTASanAndreasPL]

How long did it take you to make it? I want to make one myself.

[throwingchicken]

It took a few months. I started around June and finished the day before Halloween of that same year.

[popadyda]

I also have one of those kits you mention and I know exactly what you mean!! Your work is exceptional! It has really turned out looking fantastic!

[lambo944]

i wish i could make or have one,but there too expensive

[lambo944]

where did you get all this its amasing

[throwingchicken]

Yes, the teeth are supposed to be white.

[knightslade2007]

very nice work man !!

looks awsome !!

[sombreroboom]

jeez sorry i did not mean to afend you. sorry

[throwingchicken]

No, I thought it was funny.

[sombreroboom]

golds grills will do nicely.

[sombreroboom]

what about his teeth huh.....they are not painted. DIDDY MOU!!!!!!!!

[throwingchicken]

So you think I should give him a grill to make him relate to today's youth?

[sombreroboom]

very very sorry. dont get mad.

[arvid1985]

I followed this one on the endobuildersclub forum and I just got one thing to say: Great job! All your efforts really payed off!

[meathead316]

excellent job! what sort of paint did you use?

[throwingchicken]

Ultra Mirror Chrome from Spaz Stix.

[meathead316]

i used some chrome paint on my endo skull before and experienced 2 mayjor problems.

1 the chrome looked really shiney, but never ever EVER dried, it was always quite sticky and if u did touch it you would leave finger prints. so i sanded it down to start again

2 applied a new coat of chrome, shiney :) then some clear laquer, it dried and it really dried, i could handle the skull no problem, but it lost its shine and was more a glossy grey colour :(

is this that case with the spaz stix paint?

[throwingchicken]

The Spaz Stix paint was made to be sprayed on the inside of a clear shell so that you actually view it from behind and it doesn't get handled. But that said, I haven't really had much trouble with it on the outside. I think if I took a wet cloth to it I could remove the chrome, but other than that, I've handled it with no troubles. It isn't sticky at all.

[vflex1000]

best Thai recast modification ive sean yet. great stuff...10/10 mate

[lebsoljah]

[nickatron]
