Hey Guys
Hope you are all well. Small update on this one as real life stuff has been getting in the way a bit. Namely, getting married in 4 weeks time.....yikes!
Anyway, now I have his body at the desired bulkiness, I have decided to remove the bust from the body and start preparation for painting. I have drilled out his human eye, installed the cheek pistons, endo eye and endo bearings around the eye.
The shots of the PH Arnold earlier in this thread from PH Archivist and Ob1al have proven invaluable to this project - thanks guys!
I have trimmed him up, dremeled any flash and primed him ready. I have also roughly trimmed a wig to roughly the right shape. It is NOT fixed yet. Just placed on for the WIP shots.
I realise his hair is still a little too long, but I was verging on the side of caution at this stage (I've already ruined one wig by cutting it too short!). Plus I have noticed that the PH Arnolds have slightly longer hair than the film Arnold.
Don't ask me why, but I like that.
It took me 2 hours to trim this hair to what you see. It started out a a Bee Gee wig and was very long and thick! :lol
This is different hair to the wig earlier in the thread - I have opted for synthetic now, it's more the right shade of brown. I couldn't get the other one to dye correctly.
Cheers
Steve
