Scratch built Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton

Hey guys :)

First off I want to thank you all for your support and I apologize for my down time!!
It's now my summer vacation and I decided to get back in the saddle and get some things finished with my endobuild.

First off is the skull...
I finished the eyeballs and lighting, it's still missing the lenses but it's on the way. The side panels are also attached.
I'm really excited how it turned out:

The next parts I'll focus on are the hands and the chest and back chassis.
Here are some more progress pics, including my work bench...

Really impressive work @chanfan. This is inspiring, I've always wanted to sculpt one of these busts. What are the approximate dimensions of the skull and is it true to the original, Height x Width x Depth? Thank you!

I found this scale image of the Chinese copy-version of the sideshow bust - can anyone corroborate that this sizing is true to the movie (specifically T2)?

Isn't that a Chinese copy of the bust that came with the BD back in 2011 (or when ever T2 Skynet Edition BD came out)?

As bas as the chinese copy looks, it's a gazillion times better than that particular atrocity :lol
either way, not true to the movie.

When searching for a skull, I found a Chinese made knockoff that still had the T2 on the front, even though they had marketed the thing as "Genysis" .

It's not. Sideshow's is a separate sculpt, no linage from the movies.

Gotcha. Yeah I'm going to do everything in my power to just use T2 movie screens for reference.

For some reason I just can't find an actual measurement of the skull anywhere. I guess I could use movie screens to estimate the scale using another object in the frame but would be nice to know the real numbers since I'm going to be putting a lot of hours into this :)

If I just knew the height or width I could extrapolate the remaining dimensions. I think height would be the best to know. Can you recommend a source or know the approximate size of the original skull?

I am happy to measure mine for you if that helps.
