Just a T-800 torso and head

Testing the shoulder engines, to see if they fit. And they are!

Shoulderplates are looking good as well. I have come to realize that the holes in the shoulder engines are not 100% aligned so the arm rods cant be fully inserted. This needs to be taken care of before gluing the engines in place.

And I also need to give credit to 'Hobby World' on Youtube. It is this crazy Danish guy who inspired me to stop dreaming about the the $8 500 T-800 from Sideshow.com and do something about it. My project is more or less a copy of Hobby World's version. We have different 3dmodels and I try to do things "my way" of his way. I learn along the way : )

Are you Skynet? Because it looks like you're building a Terminator.

Needs work - eyes not ominous enough!

Aye! The eyes are not even in place yet. Them holes are just the sockets where the eyes will be. And ofc they will have the proper red lights :)

That's going to need one hell of a reamer...

And I have none! Not sure what my plan of attack is. Some dremmelgrinder on both the hole and shaft. Or something. In hindsight I should have glued the motor parts with the rod in it to make sure it was aligned but I was afraid it would get stuck :O

3D print a holder for a few box cutter blades for a DIY reamer?

Could work! Not sure if I have the skills to design the holder though. My next post will show the solution (or picture a pile of plastic junk along with all the curse words known to man).

The simplest method would be to use emery paper on a rod, as long as it doesn't need to be accurate.
