A new, ambitious, exciting Terminator project.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this project is still going to happen.

Have been putting in a lot of work into this project lately. Here's a few snaps of one of the eyes. It's about the size of a tennis ball. Playing around and adjusting the depth of the inner 'red' pupil... at this scale, iit should be faint like in the bottom pics. The grid pattern is present in T2 whereas it is not in T1. I'm not sure which effect I like better yet... but I made it so that the inside can be switched around or modified.

More updates soon. Thanks for looking.

Exciting! Even just the eye rocks!

Awesome project! It looks like you have figured out the eye shutter part of the project. Or is that still open for topic? I was thinking you could use an old automatic 35mm camera lens. I pass them up at flea markets all the time (rather cheap). The trick is gutting them properly to work, and fit within the area. Just an idea!

Thanks! That's pretty much what I did Here's a pic of the inside. The iris diaphragm sits in rather nicely. I also built in some detail although none of it will be seen in the final product. But just the blades of the aperture gives off a pretty cool effect.

I understand how the diaphragm functions but I don't know anything about electronics to make it work. The apertures of both eyes would have to open and close in conjunction and speed with one another. Did a light test earlier and all is looking pretty good. Even without the movement, I think I'll be pretty happy.

I just had another endogasm!

Still a WIP but just saw this cool clip: Terminator 2 T 800 Animatronic Stan Winston Endoskull in Profiles in History July 31 Auction - YouTube

I know this is not the first time they tried selling it. Wonder if it actually sold this time.

According to their website it sold for $65.000. It was valued at 20.000 to 30.000.

Yeah, if I was rich, I'd have dropped a big chunk on it as well.
