OMG...OMG...my 1:1 SS T800 Arnold Bust is done!!!!!!

 

[SilentSurfer]

The production paint wasn't too bad, but it didn't look alive. I gave it a full flesh repaint, lightened the hair, and weathered the leather jacket. It's not a huge contrast to the production paint, yet it makes a huge difference in how it 'feels' in the room with you.

Before and After:

Lapel Weathering:

Back Weathering. All the light tan leather scuffs were added after browing the leather a bit in worn areas:

A lighter, more natural, less blocky looking eyebrow and some subtle eyelashes really made the glass eye come to life:

 

[King Darkness]

You definitely breathed some life into the sculpt. Much improved SS

 

[samueljd]

Well done SS! The only issue I've ever seen with the piece was that it looks a bit shiny and that made it appear less life-like. You definitely breathed some life into this classic.

 

[ENDO-HUNTER]

Excellent job man. I really like what you have done with this piece. Mike

 

[MarfMaster]

Damn fine work Nathan, quite the improvement!

 

[sunohc]

the eyes look waaaay better. (the area in general)
amazing sculpt though as well.

 

[MwNN]

Awesome T-800!
You work wonders Nathan!
Fantastic paint work.

 

[Platty]

The 1:1 Arnie looks great. Superb!

 

[die]

That was definitely worth the work you put into it, big difference! Nicely done as always!

 

[tbay]

Huge improvement, your paintjob actually makes it look like a completely different (and better) sculpt. The way your paint highlights all the wrinkles in the sculpt is amazing!
