SJW2511 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Hi All, So I'm halfwayish through the part work build for Hachette 1:2 scale terminator, and I've been doing a fair few mods of my own Heres how he looks so far up to issue 62. Now on to some of the mods I have done. The teeth are replacements from ModelModz and are off the shelf ready to fit, I just painted mine a bit to weather them. I have also weathered the metalwork with Citadel Nuln oil. First the gun, I opened it up and fitted some home made electronics, and a laser, this can be seen in action with this video at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdIWEHlZnqo I made a minigun, from a toy softgel gun from wish which is the main body, and the barrel and electronics I built from scratch using alu tubes, arduino etc. And here is a video showing this in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoItMnAk8IQ You will notice in the vids the head is turning, this is another custom mod, using a servo in the neck and arduino, which controls the head turning and mouth opening, I wanted mind to be automated rather than remote controlled. One thing that I sacrificed is the moving eyes, I opted to make my own larger eyes which I made from chrome balls and a lathe, filled with resin and a fibre optic, lit using the standard LEDS. Final mod that I have done so far, is I cut the circle cover off the cranium, and added a alu piece that I made from a small alu torch inner The chip is from a piece of plastic and when you take it out the thing powers off. Loads more vids on my channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-_VH5TWel4tPLz3r2ukRSA Thanks for reading, some of this not in chronologocal order, hence why the last posts show the original teeth etc. Edited May 18, 2020 by SJW2511 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 It all works for me. Big and shiny, yet nasty at the same time! Nice animation work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob998 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I’m building this with Fruit of Loin #2, not done any mods and the last 2 issues haven’t arrived at my newsagents yet, so am a little behind you. Also, because I’m buying from the newsagent I haven’t got the gun, wonder if Hachette will sell me one, or is there someone 3D printing them?

Or give him something stupid like a couple of half scale Colt 45s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob998 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I thought I’d continue here rather than start a new thread. I’m about 25 issues from finishing this, my Toddler Terminator, doing it completely oob, but I really need to do something about the gun, it’s too pristine and plain so I’ll have a go at giving it some battle wear. And maybe down the line I’ll give the droid a bit of a grime wash too. Sorry for the rubbish photos... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelangton Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Afternoon all, only just found this build!! Well finally got my hands on one and I’m very impressed with the overall quality and I’ve always been a massive fan!! I did find Steve Williams build which certainly inspired me to do the chest spine mod however getting the parts certainly isn’t cheap and easy to find. So far I’ve pretty much rebuilt and added finger mods eyes teeth and a bit of weathering but defo will be redoing the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stelangton Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 So I looked at what SW had done an thought that’s the direction I want to take so the dremel came out and another 2 issues sourced from eBay with the neck and went for it (expensive if I messed it up😬) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stelangton Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Forgot to mention I did follow the steps Steve done and had to replace the front chest support with a thread and bolt to support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
