G?day Terminator fans! I?ve just started collecting this part-build model of the Terminator Endoskeleton by Hachette Partworks. It?s from the UK and now available in Australia. I bet if the US audience petitions for it that it?ll come States side. It?s zinc alloy and plastic. High quality so far. But has had a couple of supply hiccups. Other than that I?m in awe of what I?m building!!!

Freaking gorgeous! I'd really love to build this. Thanks for sharing.

Keep us updating on the build progress!
 
Yes I'm doing it also, I have 12 un-opened issues I must get round to doing

that's awful.

and whoever was the first to put the neck wires into the chest was as disrespectful to Cameron's work on skeleton anatomy as possible.

Something is not right with the teeth.
Two chompers on top, with opposing 3 ( ??? ) on bottom?
 
Hahaha! I couldn't pinpoint what looked off about the teeth, but I can't un-see that now. Looks like the tops of bowling pins lined up.

The teeth are absolutely awful. There are few other problems, like bent fingers and weak wrist joints. Those could have been fixed with mods, however the company making the mods sold out on all except the fingers.
It's just frustrating that a company comes out with a great looking product, yet can't supply normal eyes or teeth, which are like a 'front window' of the figure, and if you want it to look better you are forced to shell out extra money for customs.
 
Finally finished this build. It’s been over 2 years since I had the kit. Updated it with a mod or two. Namely the custom dentures! Really happy with it. It’s not perfect. But to have a full articulated 1:2 scale endo is pretty sweet.

Very cool. It's a nice kit, I still have to finish mine, got about 1/3 way through and moved house, have yet to take it out of storage. I have a 'The Thing' kit on the bench at the moment. I like the weathering you've done to it.
 
While it's overall a nice kit and please don't take this as me trying to take away from your joy.
Enjoy it as much as you can, as it's really cool to build this on one's own time and so on.

But it's still incredibly faulty and seeing this wrong headsculpt now in 3 different figures i just baffling to me.
Why the license holder would give out such wrong dimensions is beyond me and because of that I cannot support such a piece.

Back then, when I got the QS endo, I kind of had the purple glasses on, cause it was beautiful, but...the sculpt is wrong.
I'll keep it, cause it's a figure accomplishment, same as this, but I'd wish for the license holder to give out more correct scans/dimensions.

But again: ENJOY! I mean it!
