Those are cool looking. Thanks for sharing.

Here's another video of the best and most complete terminator (Slash) the skull that still has all the details with all the right dimensions. I created a video with all the Endoskeleton scenes from the first 1984 film in the best quality I could get and as a tribute with a Terminator Resistance final theme.

Cool. I can't find the slash endo video you mentioned

I saw that '84 endo video, but you mentioned a video of the "slash" endo, which is this one.
Or did I misunderstand what you meant when you wrote (slash)?

I thought the '84 Endo was called Slash....seriously?

No, Quartz "named" the T2 endos after the Guns N' Roses performers. 
Whether the refurbished T1 is among these is unknown.

Old first toe piston on the left, new one from new measurements right.

Had a chance to check a scan of the Timeless Master casting of the top part of the skull - missing jaw and teeth - and it was bigger than my foam skull scan (wider, but not as tall). When I took out the warp, by approximating adding height while removing width and length to counter the vertical squashing that made the skull wider... it was pretty close to spot on to my foam skull.
Not a 100% comparison, but I feel more confident now that my foam skull may not be oversized.
Working a little more on the first toe pistons I started reworking the bottom piston. Basically the whole thing was altered in some way. The fork is also a lot wider than I originally made it, but the inside opening is roughly the same - just a little wider. Still wondering what the shape between the upper and lower pistons are - it's 2 rings joined together somehow, but with the way the casting is, it doesn't appear possible to be a straight connection from one ring to the other, so maybe it has a V-shape bend or something. The egg shaped model I created for the previous models doesn't work... so I thought maybe it was the same knuckle and 2 straight bars connection like the fingers... but... that would not be possible - unless the upper ring isn't centered on the straight bars coming from the lower ring... similar to what we see on the hands - that the knuckle above is slightly forward and not centered. I'll have to think on it some more... and it's hard to see on the casting because of the filler obscuring that piece.

It was a Genisys skull, if I remember correctly.

Except for TMG, the three holes in the red circle seem to have been omitted.
However, the TMG has also been omitted from the right-hand side.
Two holes and grooves in the blue circle are omitted. These are on both sides.
Cinemaquette has a mysterious hole, which is probably a mistake.

The Cinemaquette and the ghostman pelvis looks closer in shape than my LFS scan.
Interesting that they all have the similar plain underside with the oval depression, and lack the details seen on hollywoodhardware's foam pelvis seen in post #2288.

Unsure if this has been posted before. If it has, sorry for the double posting.

An in depth look at the stop-motion animation Endoskeleton effects used in “THE TERMINATOR”.
In late 1982, when James Cameron’s dream film project “The Terminator” was finally greenlit with a initial budget of 4 million dollars, Cameron knew his biggest challenge would be…
