Rocket, stay very still and don't make a sound. The IB series of Terminators can only detect movement. It's the IDB series with the crystal skulls we really have to worry about...

Oh, he heard me!


Er, have with Wendy, er at Wendy's. Whatever...

Remember extra ketchup! No cups...PACKETS.

Montana, last time he came back from a food run the ketchup had spilled in the bag, don't ask about the bones.

Allas poor Wendy, I knew her...

Here's a small one from the 2008 New York Comic-Con, anyone got one of these?:









One thing they nailed in particular were the crystalline faults/cracks in the thing. I don't know exactly how big it is, but it's pretty dinky.

Outstanding:



I'm guessing that there's no new pics up because of the difficulties of rotocasting clear resin with few bubbles. I read once that in KOTCS they had to digitally remove quite a few bubbles in the cast in post production. The jaw looks great because it's cast as a solid piece, but it still has the bubbles in it, negligible as they are. I'll be following this one, regardless. It's a hell of a sculpt, especially the detail on the teeth.

It's going to be one hell of a prop if he manages to pull it off.

Your 1:1 crystal skull was impressive, too!

It'll be an amazing prop once it's done, but I'm yet to see someone make a 1:1 version that hasn't been slapped with a C&D order.

Thanks, Montana! Yeah, I love mine, but I have some issues with it concerning clarity and the resin that was left in each rotocast to settle in various areas inside rather than draining it. This guy did a better job with his cast already with the jaw. I've been researching like crazy ever since I got mine to figure out a way to replicate the look myself. It takes quite a bit, and it ain't cheap. I'd really like to see these guys pull it off!
