T1 and T2 Endoskeleton Research Thread

[Too Much Garlic]

Some pictures of a burnt T1 endoskeleton arm.

Wow beautiful pics man!!!

The T3 one is the Endo that sold for 1 million$ and is in the Seattle museum. My brother visited and if I had of known he did I would have got him to get tons of pics but I only got 1.

It’s supposed to feature some T1 and T2 parts but I’m not sure how accurate that is. I have a feeling it’s the basis for the Cinemaquette style though.

Interesting but not 100% accurate. Still looks better than the sideshow version, although a blatant rip off of their base.

Hey... they got the teeth right!

But they over-ground the grooves.

And if they would stop using those gridded lenses and actually try to recreate the movie look... GRRRR... it would look so much better.

And they have the sixth neck piece. WTF?

Is that full scale?
EDIT: if only I had learned to read.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

And it looks fairly symmetrical.

Geometry repair done. Now I just need to stamp the logo into the nut part.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Done. Uploaded the various small bits I've been working on so far. Didn't upload the bottom of the shin and ankle ball joint connector as I'm not done working on those yet.

The ssdesigner made logo worked great. It was easier to boolean it into the nut section than I had thought, so thanks mate for that cleanly made model. I fattened up the letters a bit and it just worked wonders. Couldn't be happier.

Awesome! Happy to help and glad that it worked.

Some Bob Burns videos where the Terminator stuff is shown. If anyone finds more and in better quality, please post them. Thanks.

Basically from the beginning:

around 0:50

around 2:20

around 5:17

Seeing how "simple" it appears, I think I'll tackle the brain chip next. I think I will incorporate the cutout details from the oversized prop as well as adding the grid pattern seen in the discs from the full size office prop - just to create more work for myself. And in that scale you probably won't even be able to see it... but I thought it could look cool... so I'm doing it.

I made 3D files for both sizes of chips a while back. They're based on the auction photos & a simplified version by Sideshow(?).

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Looks cool. And that blown up look of the piece is awesome.

Thanks! The separate pieces made painting easier in theory, but assembly was very fiddly

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Yeah, I could imagine there would be a lot of tolerance testing for something like that... and so small.

Stumbled upon a picture in the RPF picture highlights that led me to this thread and some pictures ghostman posted of original endoskeletons where I saw that the shoulder connector was very different than what I had made... but then I checked his T1 endoskeleton pictures and the Tome-no-suke endoskeleton and they have the style I modeled from the LFS kit. They just attached it the opposite way I would have thought... but okay. So... phew. I hadn't wasted an awful lot of time making something that wasn't accurate to the originals. Nice.

Though... the T2 and T3 endoskeletons seems to have something different going on there. Some just have a straight up screwn in piece the cable attaches to, without the bend usually seen. I'll have to check things out more to see if there is a consistency within the movies or it's just all over the place.

Found a new picture of the endoskeleton recently sold through Propstore. Found the picture on this site:

I made the T2 and T5 CPU not long ago, as well as part of the CPU prototype Dyson is holding at the end.

Neck Hose Connector. I just modeled the LFS one. I didn't check it against the T1 or T2 SWS props.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Guess it is also used for the pistons. I do not know how I will be able to 3D model the threaded hose. Maybe that's way too advanced for me yet.
