Thanks for all the positive feedback! 
Here's a new update:
I did some work smoothing out the lower spine ,primed it and now it's ready for a second round of putty and sanding!
And YES, I'm STILL working on the bloody skull!
I decided to revisit the skull as I wasn't too happy about over all shape and symmetry. So here I am chopping up a cast to re-align the pieces for a more symmetrical appearance:
More to come, soon!

Snyggt!
Keep up the good work.
Making an endo skull more symmetrical is something I have wanted to do or at least see ever since I noticed how asymmetrical it really is

I have never stopped thinking about building one sice 1984.
You have photo documented your build so nicely, it is hard not to think of whipping one up. I wouldn't mind trying to cut out thouse shapes out of foam-core rather than corregated cardboard. Even though he is supposed to be human-size, i wondered if there were a standard set of drawings for the endo, as there are for R2-D2s. I went to the Endo-Builders site and it said that the site had no posts. OK, so maybe I need to register. I tried. I am waiting to hear. Maybe it was a dead board.
The thing is, the endo is so popular amongst 3D artists, that there are all kinds of renderings online. I am not computer savy enough to use any of these to my advantage. I am a pencil and ruler kind of guy.

I am a member and the EndoBuilders forum isn't dead, you just wont see any posts until you're registered and logged in since it is a private forum
I have yet to see a good CGI endoskeletton.

Hey guys! I've been doing quite alot of work on my endo but I haven't had the time to update any of the forums.
I'm currently working on a endo blog where I'll try to post everything I do: Welcome to T-Builder | T-build
My V2 endoskull is well on the way: with most of the basic stuff in place.
The shape is now much more symmetrical.
I have also been doing some re-tooling of the chest piece to make it more flat in the front. It had a wierd bulge below the centre ridge that I got rid of.
Oh and I almost forgot, i did a paint test on one of my V1 skulls - and I have found the perfect color with the perfect finish!
This is plastkote's brilliant silver.
I actually prefer this more metal looking endo compared to the perfectly clean chrome versions:
I gave half of the skull a gloss black base coat and the other half was just gray primer.
(this was just a quick test so I didn't prep the surface properly so it was still a bit rough, and I only sprayed the front part of the skull.)
In this pic you can clearly see how asymmetrical my V1 endoskull is - and that's why I decided to do a V2:

Hey guys! New update!
Progress on my V.2 Endoskull
I have been doing some more work on my V.2 Endoskull trying to get is as symmetrical as I possibly can, while working on the basic shapes and some of the bigger details.
I've added the slots in the back of the skull, using the part from my V.1 Endoskull and puttied it into place. Then I added clay and filler to get it merged.
I will reshape the holes using my dremel to get them in the same size.
I have also begun to sculpt the ridge details on the side of the skull. First I drew the details on the skull to make sure it was right, then I went in with the clay and built the shapes. It's still in a rough state so it will need some trimming and sanding.
There are lots of indents that I will use my dremel to carve out.
Finally, here's a spin-table of the whole thing in its current state.

Here's the current endoskull madness you will face if you enter my office/workshop:
I've been sanding and shaping up the V.2 Endoskull to get a smooth finish before I add the remaining details.
Here's the first shot of primer:
After that I sanded the whole thing and added a layer of thinned down "clay water" to cover all the small dents:
This was also sanded:
And hit with a new shot of primer:
I will be sanding this down even further and add a new layer of thinned down clay to make it supersmooth, and then I will start adding the remaining details.
