T1 and T2 Endoskeleton Research Thread

[Too Much Garlic]

It's an absolute disgrace that they display it lying down on its side. Like they have no respect for what they have in their collection.

I also found some new pictures to.....
Does anyone have the last picture with Stan and 2 Endos in better quality or the one from the poster?

The skull flying up in the T2:3D pictures shows that Stan Winston 3D scanned a production casting to make that effect. It looks perfect, except they messed up the jaw pistons.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

If anyone is having issue with opening my Thingiverse files, please let me know. I uploaded part of the jaw piston - the main part that hasn't been identified yet and there was an issue with it - probably because there were 2 models in the file and they were overlapping, so I uploaded the files separately.

The added "glow" makes it look... cross-eyed AF

ghostman , its not the quality what i want but its a cool picture nice and thanks

@To Much Garlic ,They forgot the pistons or Arnie did it with too much force
If I were ever nearby, I would like to visit the Stan Winston Studio, maybe they would have some 3D scan material for us and everything what i Need , it would definitely have been worth it, Well, at the moment it's just a dream that hopefully won't turn into a nightmare.....

I doubt the owners of the Stan Winston Studios legacy would share either original production casts or scans.

But they would definitely be cool enough to do a fan tour with the visit

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Maybe. Well, it couldn't hurt to try.

Thought this might be interesting for those who want to make animatronic endoskeletons.

I wonder if Bob Burns would be okay with someone getting a few measurements off one of his cast T1 hands and lower arms.

This Bob is really an hardcore amazing guy, I would be interested to know what he has from Terminator and Predator props

here is a little measurement of a T1 Endoarm

There are videos on youtube that shows his entire collection.

Did a little work on the Cinemaquette neck pieces I got as 3D reference from ghostman in order to make a new neck, based on my scans. The thing with the Cinemaquette parts is that they are not warped like the LFS ones. Realized that the sixth neck piece isn't the originally sculpted sixth piece, but rather just the fifth one repeated. I just left it in as a guide to where the sixth one should sit.

1: I tried first matching the Cinemaquette parts to the LFS scan. I lined them up so they matched the front, but didn't so much care about the back as that is the area where the LFS are warped and it created the first row of results.
2: Then I matched the Cinemaquette parts to the T1 picture of the neck and got things pretty close. I have the fourth and fifth piece still merged, but when doing this matching I realized they sit too close together, so I will split them and lower the fifth one so it matches the T1 picture.
3: Lastly I took the second one and lightly angled the pieces so the front looked more like the LFS neck and thought it looked better than the one plainly angled to the T1 picture... but it may not be correct. Anyway... here are the pictures.

I originally thought the LFS wasn't too accurate, but it is in fact pretty close to the 3rd option which is my fix to the T1 picture one.

Which one do you prefer?

And here's the T1 Neck originally posted by ghostman:

I told myself one day I would make a endo arm from real steel , as I worked as a machinist, this would be great to make!

 

[gizmo]

Neck looks fantastic TooMuchGarlic!!

These are getting around on eBay at the moment. 1/4 scale and look pretty neat. Bit rich though for me to be tempted.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

There is another one too selling metal quarter scale skulls. I'll see if I can find him again.

Looks great though.

 

[killuminati89]

gizmo - the 1/4 skulls and 1/1 are not accurate but nice work, I think he just smoothed it out a lot from cgtrader from skynet2029, and the skynet guy got it from deltadesignrus what a shame XD

I found a never before auction, it might be interesting

Followed the auction. It was posted about in the screen used section. If I had had that kind of money I would have gone for it. I just fear, since it is not a complete endoskeleton that it may just be split up and sold for parts, as we have seen before. Though, we have also seen the opposite where they finish the endoskeleton with LFS style sourced parts.
