Good for you, I'm not one those.

I finally got my own Sideshow combat version Endoskeleton bust. An HCG 1:2 Endoskull (clean version) is on its way too.

Where's the little plaque came from ?

I made it using photoshop. Copied the logo from the web and added the texts. I then printed it and inserted on an acrylic label stand

Hi everybody,

I've had my 1:1 Clean Sideshow T800 bust since 2008. It has been in the box for over 1 year now and yesterday I decided to unbox it again to have a look at it. I noticed that it had some blue stains on some parts, and when I scrapped them with my finger nails the blue layer stains disappeared leaving a shiny silver spot. You can see it better in the photos (the last 2 photos). What are these blue stains? Is there anyway I can repair it?

Also , it feels like the rainbow effect has gotten worse somehow. What do you guys think?

Don't know what they used for the blue and rainbow effect. When I look at mine, it does appear that the rainbow effect has gotten darker over the years.

Does it really bother you? I'm guessing you can remove the blue/rainbow by using acetone? Then you can clean up the entire skull.

I'm looking for another endoskull 1:1 for a special project. LMK price if anyone want to get rid of theirs.

No the rainbow effect doesn't bother me. The blue stains do, because I'm afraid that with time the whole skull will be covered with them. They weren't there before, I'm sure about that.

the bluish stuff looks like some form of oxidisation.

I sold my Chrome/Clean Endoskull last week and I didn't see any bluish stains.

It looks like the bluish stains develop under the protective clear coat so this leads me to believe it is indeed oxidation.

Could it be this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

Thats not mine though is exactly the same.
Its an early HGC piece that I got it for £100 a few years ago because the eyes didn't work properly, so I just took the bottom off bypassed the sound card and now I can switch the eyes on and off for as long as I want and theres none of that tinny music

Hi mate

Just obtained one of these HGC 1:1 endoskulls like yours version 1
Can you be so kind as to tell me how you bypassed the soundcard to stop the tinny music and keep the eyes lit as long as you want please.
Was it easy to do ?

Cheers

 

[kingkarl]

Can anybody put a guide up to show how it's done as I am a little wary of attempting this on a new skull

 

[MR Regan]

Heard sideshow are re releasing the combat version, wonder if they do the clean one and the TX.

Already up for pre order in the UK

 

[Vitus]

I wish they would do a full body TX to compete with the CM. But for some reason I thought they no longer had the T3 license.

Why this is posted as "new" isn't this a re release ?

13" tall? That can't be correct. I have the original and from base to top of head it is much taller than 13".

 

[Webb]

These are the damaged "clean" version repainted.

that's what the old combat one says too in the archive. Cut and pasting their own errors?
