The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: I've finally finished my T-800 arm!
PostPosted: Thu Nov 02, 2006 8:06 pm 
I had some help in August from a few people here who checked my dimensions on the base. I was asked to show off the results, so if you are into Terminator props, check out my finished arm display at the bottom of this page.

I just need one of those "medical pressure gauge widgets" now, so I can finish my Motion Tracker...

Awesome work, pal... The Governor of California may be looking for that, with a limp left forearm, as we speak.

How easy did you find the Alcad II to use?

Well, I'd almost never sprayed anything with a proper spray gun before, and I managed it. The trick is to use lots of very thin layers until you are happy with it. I did a test first on the T2 badge to give me the courage to start on the main model.

So, really, it's very easy as long as you have access to a decent spray gun and a compressor.

Almost 2. I have a small amount left in one of them.

Wow! Great work on that! Makes me still wonder where my T2 brain chip that I got from Gary Weaver years ago went...
