If that's cardboard then I quit!

Is the skull from the papercraft kit or did you get that from somewhere. If it is from the papercraft kit I would love to know what you did for the teeth. I am currently building the skull for my 1:1 model and haven't dedcided if I am going to keep the teeth in paper or if I am going to customize them. Please let me know.

I'd hate to ask that famous "...made of paper?" question, but when I look at these pictures, I'm sure thinkin' it!

[spencermitchellmusic]

I have no doubt that the arms legs and torso are paper, but I am almost 100% sure that the skull is not. I am building this same model right now and I don't recognize that as being the paper skull that is in the kit.

I use filler in the joinds and a lot layers of paint and varnish, more than the rest of the body !

[spencermitchellmusic]

HOLY FREAKING CRAP! I am sorry for doubting escala, please forgive my ignorance. You are a far supierior builder than I. I cant wait to see the tutorial on how to get that clean of a look. I am already about half way done with my skull, but I may want to start all over after learning how you got a look like that! I bow to your greatness and lookforward to seeing more.

[rewalston]

OK I found 3 pdf files for the T2-T800 Endoskeleton is this the ones you guys are using to build this fantastic model? Also from what I can see it's not 1:1 scale, how do I assure that I'm getting 1:1? The file I have appears to be .jpg scans from a book that is in Japanese. It does appear to have instructions listed but well they are scan pictures and they are in Japanese...how the blazes to I make it so that I can read them? Seeing that they are pictures I can't very well copy & paste the instructions into Google Translate to get English...:eek::mad:. Any ideas?

[rewalston]

I forgot to ask....can this be built with regular card stock? I think what I have is 120# from Staples Office Depot.

Rusty

[bigfan321]

YES, those scans are from the book that everyone's using to make their Paper T-800's
but the availability of scans of the book for free is basically Piracy.

[spencermitchellmusic]

Rusty, those are the plans that everyone is using. Every once in a great while you will find a copy of the original book that those scans come from on ebay....every once in a great while.

The model was originaly printed in 1:2 scale (or half size). To get to the 1:1 scale all you have to do is enlarge the original by 100%.

Thank you. Eventually I think I'll try this model in 1:1 scale but right now it's sitting on the self so to speak. My wife is wondering where I'm going to put my 4ft + Optimus Prime when it's completed, let alone a full size Terminator. :D
