I'm presenting you with the latest (and completely unexpected) addition to my collection.
This bust (sculpt by fantastic H. Senft) is something I got totally unplanned, it kinda shocked (and I still can't believe I got this piece) me, as this is something I never actually wanted to allow myself to think (would dream be better word?) of getting.
I won't go too much into details, no need to..it's time to show it off, and write down what is the plan..where the word "project" fits in..
First some pictures:
Pictures are kinda bad, as it looks incredibly real in real life (even with sculpted hair), it's amazing.
With that said. even tho I LOVE it, I think this piece can look even better....
..
My idea is to change the shirt and get him a leather jacket. I'm not aiming to make it perfectly screen accurate, but a very close representation! If you take a better look at the Endo eye, you'll see that ball bearings aren't accurate, and eye looks kinda plasticy and lacks those lines, detailing....also, I hate this checkered lens look....so I'll be replacing the eye (hopefully)..
I do plan to add eyelashes to "human eye side", as I've seen on the movie that eyelashes weren't burnt off.
I already did the first "custom" on the piece..the glass eye was covered with the semi-matt clear coat (I don't know why eye wasn't masked when the whole bust was coated), but I've cleaned the eye with the nail polish remover and a q-tip, and it looks better now, more alive and realistic, it has that "spark" in the eye!
Few more things I'll think about, is getting Gargoyles for him..It looks even better with the glasses on, but I really like that Endo eye..so I'll see about that..
I'll also think hard about adding some kind of soundboard to it....I know it kinda sound cheesy, and a lot of people will dislike the idea, but I'm really digging it. I'd love to hear few most memorable phrases from the movie (____ you _______, I'll be back, Your clothes, give them to me, now....etc.) coming form the bust, as well as the original Terminator theme! I'll think more about this once I do everything else I have intended to!
Anyways...these are the plans, and I'll be updating this thread as I go by....I hope I'll manage to pull it all off, and make it a lot more better, and to my liking!
