That second picture is just a composite endoskeleton. Unsure if there are any T2 parts... and it's not just T2:3D or later.
But it seems clear that the castings come out in T1 style and is then just filled in.

I have some money but I’m doing house renovations at the moment. Must resist. I still remember one of those gift skulls going for $1600US on eBay years ago. It was during the financial crises I think. It was a bargain.

The neck pieces I posted earlier in the thread came from a lot with a grooved neck piece.
I can see that on those. Thanks

I wouldn't mind getting hold of a neck casting like this - found the picture on the T1 dvd extra features:
Holy crap that hip section is wonky as hell. Is that an alternate chest piece?

Thanks for those much better pictures. Yeah... I've been on a Mac for so long and it does not allow screen capturing from dvd's. so I had to photograph them with my phone.
Also on mac here, works fine with VLC

The scanned spine is distorted.
Retopologized.
Morphing the average of the left and right sides was corrected to symmetry.

Looks great.
It does look great. I’m a fan of the more organic nature of the original sculpts though and can’t get past that. Im the same with Star Wars sculpts. It does make more sense though that it should be perfectly symmetrical in a real Terminator world and designed by machines. Very nice work Ghostman.

Other than the pose... it's the best scaled endoskeleton out there.
Regarding the SWS spine picture. After seeing the dvd feature pictures it is clear it was photographed at the same time as those, as you can actually see the spine casting in one of those pictures, so it's definitely T1. Interesting to see that the spine comes out as a single casting, similar to the neck piece. Man. I wouldn't mind getting HD 3d scans of either from original molds + 1 of that damn elusive rectangular piece on the chest.
There are a few endoskeletons where I think they just used the full one-piece uncut spine casting. But they may just be display endoskeletons anyway. Propstore sold one a few years back where you can see the spine is a one-piece casting as the back was cut off. First picture is from the Propstore auction catalogue and the second picture is how the endoskeleton looked before the auction, so a lot of extra pieces were added to it.

Also just noticed that the T1 neck piece seems to have 6 sections instead of the normal 5.
Wonder why they opted out of using the bottom one? Maybe it was in the way for the motor pieces in the chest?
