Welcome!
This is my scratch built steel 1-1 scale T800 Terminator bust which has taken me approximately 1000 hours to complete over the last 18 months.
I designed and made everything myself from scratch.

The only pre-manufactured metal items were the side inserts for the skull, I chose to use Tamiya RC car gearbox casings (Sand Scorcher) as were used in the the original T1 film, I obviously purchased the radio gear and braided pipework too.

I gained inspiration for the skulls RC control system from Stan Winston studios, I have used a similar set up to their original Terminator control system, I needed to make many modifications to my system though, this allowed me to balance and control the 7kg steel endo skull, a lot heavier than the film version I'm sure.

The whole build weighs around 70kg and is constructed using steel sheet, tubing and box section which has been cut, hammered, turned and welded to shape

My T800 bust isn't an exact screen replica but as an artists interpretation I feel it's close enough.
I've had to make a number of changes to the bust construction to allow the animatronics to be installed and function correctly but overall I am happy with the finished piece,

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed seeing it.
