Endoskull Roll Call...

[ONEYE]

Thanks Rich. Ok, non-acetone all the way then (i'll probably stay away from the temple area) - yeah, i remember seeing those pics of your bust. I was shocked and yet applauded your courage and creativity with what happened.

Thanks! I also used hot glue to reposition the jaw. Super glue to re-insert the teeth, and applied appropriate paint in spots. I made the best of it. I liked the final product I came up with. It was the costliest custom I have ever made. Well, there is a Terminator 1:6 diorama that I am working on now. The "group" has those pictures. THAT is costing the same amount now, and will increase even more when I am done collecting parts for it.

6' long, 30" wide.

 

[Reinhardt]

Look forward to seeing it!!! Yeah, these customs end up costing more than the figures themselves!!!

Thanks for the pic showing the temple, it was always bugging me with what exactly was under all the black gunk. Now i just hope the combat skulls are still being made in several months time when i have enough money for a 2nd one to clean up!

No problem. Lots of cool little details that are covered up.

This is from the TS movie. Don't click it's a spoiler (possibly?).

Who knows, maybe we'll get a 1:1 T-600 arm as a collectible from SS?

Yeah i'm almost tempted to do it to my combat one as one side has a lot more gunk than the other. Those are some nice pics you spoiler tagged too!

the guy who started the "i NEED to order a combat endo, go to the walmart nail polish section, and clean my endo" fad.

 

[Something Sexy]

I NEED one of these Endos but I need to sell some stuff first. Grrrrrrr.

I don't get it... If you mean me, I definately didn't start it. I was just the first to demonstrate the process on video for everyone.

But yeah why not. I NEED an endo too. (I sold the one from the video, but NEED another one!!)

 

[The Chaver]

Sideshow Chrome Endoskull 1:1 Bust avaliable in the for sale section.

aha, didn't know that. first i heard of cleaning the endo was after seeing your video.

 

[Nacho]

Cleaning is finally complete on my endo. I started a few days
ago and I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.
I said I would post some pic's so here we go...ENJOY!!!

[Grange Wallis]

Clean half. Put a double sided mirror straight down the center.

That's some squeeky clean work Nacho! Well done!

I decided to get the original clean (w/rainbow) version. I'll leave my BD one alone.

 

[Nacho]

Thanks mate..

Oh yeh, should also mention that after cleaning I polished it up
with some chrome polish the type you would use on mag wheels.
Comes up PRIMO!!!
Freaks who own a combat bust I say go for it, you won't be disapointed.

You are indeed the man...
