Hey all,
We've recently added a new page to the site to showcase our displays for original Terminator props and costumes. We're actually just wrapping up another (a T1000 costume) so be sure to check the page again soon.
Terminator Films - Original Movie Prop and Costume Displays, Custom mannequins and theming
First up is a T2 Arnold costume. The client had the costume elements (almost all of which are screen used). For the body, we started with a raw FX casting of Arnold's body from Turboman and modified that for stability and arm pose (the arms are somewhat poseable). The AMAZING silicone head was created by Howard Senft. Can't stress enough how good Howard's work on the head was! Startlingly realistic.
The base is my favorite part, and it was created by Richard Riley. Rubble, a submerged endoskeleton, modified video screen, twisted wreckage and concrete... themed to the max!
The next one was for Desi DoSantos, who's got the full costume, the shades, the shotgun AND the motorcycle! He had a basic body but needed the display completed with a custom head and hands. Howard Senft provided us the raw resin casting (bald) and Robb DeNicola sculpted the hair over that. Brian Lewis and the late Harry Inman created the life-cast hands, further modified for pose and with a great added mech to allow the right hand to hold the shotgun.
Robb's hair sculpt, with cut outs for the glasses (a sort of cheat necessary to get the proper fit):
Closer look at the hands:
For people who like a sneak peek look at projects like these, be sure to hit up our facebook page and click the LIKE button. We update a few times a week with pics from the studio... lots of great stuff happening these days!
