The
full BD Tanker-Truck figure is wearing an MMS02 jacket. Those were bulkier and it in turn bulked him up a bit without me doing anything else to him. Though I did stuff his neck. It's the exact same jacket I was using on my old kitbash before MMS238 came out, as is the vest. The vest doesn't have the pattern, being an old generic grey vest but its dirtied up enough that it doesn't matter really. Elvis1976 I believe originally BDed that jacket, he also must have removed the giant zipper so I can't close it as would be more accurate, I've sorta just got it pulled together and held there with the belt.
He's got DX13 legs, or at least his left leg is a DX13 BD leg so I exposed some it with my battledamage but not all of it because I don't want the damage looking identical to the T2 version.
I regret ripping open the other knee where I did because I exposed the joint but oh well.
The boots aren't as fully BDed as I'd like, tried sandpaper but it's effect is barely noticeable. I took off the dog collar type thing on the left boot, I'm not sure it gets ripped off in the film, maybe not, however as these are MMS136 boots where the execution of that part was a bit crap, I decided to get rid of it anyway.
The
Movie Poster figure is also still wearing an MMS02 Jacket, again because it artificially bulks him up, even though the jacket itself is a little dated. I'd prefer to be using the new jacket but I think the stock body is just too damn small and the new jacket is so thin that this smallness is all too apparent IMO.
Other than Tanker Truck T-800 and Movie Poster T-800 all others with the MMS238 headsculpts have been bulked up using the muscle chests/neck from either the MMS117 or MMS136 bodies. I found it OK to use the new jacket on those.
The
Eye surgery figure is wearing 2 of the MMS238 vests, one over the other. I used the same rubbing alcohol that I used to remove excess blood paint from the DX13 to remove the blood from the back of the vest (the back which became the front because I didn't want the bullet holes on the front). Granted removing the blood was not a total success as I've replaced it with alcohol stains. Maybe the previous owner of the vest had a pint spilt all over him
Better that than the blood.
What else....
Police Shootout and
''Motel Attack/biker'' T-800s have large paperclips inside the coats to shape the collar and sides better, though doing this is risky to the jacket because its so thin. And it's really not an option unless you plan to keep your figure in that same look permanently.
Any waists/pelvis areas that needed padding were padded. The Tech Noirs didn't need any because the jackets are long enough to hide the ''pinched waist'' effect.
Lastly that
Endoskeleton is heavily customised (by ''r5150s''). The chrome on it is perfect, better than the QS002 figure which I find way too bright and reflective. The eyeballs were reshaped, the jaw was added to (widened), the midsection was lengthened, added wires in the forearms, thumb position changed for more anatomical correctness, screw holes filled in, improved articulation range in the waist and legs, the shoulders were changed so they could move forward and backward like the T-600s (although one of the joints broke and is now glued reducing it back to the articulation of the stock figure on that side).
) and then directly went ahead with pics.
