Terminator T800 Skull V2 Assembly

Really nice work 👍🏻

Love the aluminum powder idea it really makes it look like real metal! I'm going to try that when I build my terminator. Thanks for sharing and it looks great!

Thank you, got the idea from Mando cosplayers using graphite on their armor. The graphite looks very metallic, but seems to let a lot more of the base coat show through and comes across much darker, where the aluminum looks very chrome.

@@jasonofthehill5490 That's really awesome. It does look like chrome. Any chance you can share where you got the aluminum powder from? I'm probably going to start my T800 build soon. Thanks for the reply sir.

@@ChrisBoshProps I picked it up at a gun show years ago, but I've seen it for sale on amazon. It doesn't take much, 1lb is prob enough to do a whole terminator.

@@jasonofthehill5490 Got ya. I'll take a look at my local gun shop. Thanks man! Look forward to more of your projects!

This is so awesome. I've wanted one of these since the first time I ever saw Terminator. Now I have a 3D printer. Thanks so much for all the work!

Hello, I have a question. After you applied the aluminum powder and polished the surface, did you apply a layer of clear coat afterwards? I'm afraid that some of the aluminum might come off later when you touch the skull.

Replied to question over on thingiverse

Where can I get the screws from ??

I picked up one of these kits off amazon years ago that I use in all my prints, but you can use anything that fits - www.amazon.com/VIGRUE-1080pcs-Assortment-Kit-Wrenches/dp/B07FCDL2SY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=4Z5TZ5ZS2LYB&keywords=VIGRUE+1080PCS+M2+M3+M4+Socket+Head+Cap+Screws+Nuts+Assortment+Kit+with+Storage+Box%2C+Three+Hex+Wrenches+Included%2C+12.9+Alloy+Steel&qid=1658759834&s=industrial&sprefix=vigrue+1080pcs+m2+m3+m4+socket+head+cap+screws+nuts+assortment+kit+with+storage+box%2C+three+hex+wrenches+included%2C+12.9+alloy+steel%2Cindustrial%2C99&sr=1-3
