Would vac-forming some of the bigger parts be an option or are there too many details and trapping areas for that?
I actually found the post I remembered... but it was him showing his kit and not the black primed endoskeleton in the backyard. And seems he's been inactive for a long time.

my latest project. Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton
Hi all. this is my latest project. a life size Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton. i started working on it sometime in October last year. it is starting to come along nicely now. there is still loads to do to it though. more sanding, filling, make this bit and that bit. etc, etc. but it will all be...

Oh yeah. Got pictures of the knee from Propstore, so will use those to fix the knee model. For the other one I'll just have to wing it until better reference comes along.

That seems to be a different endoskeleton compared to this one (I don't have a bigger image at the moment):
Also, I own a T1 style skull though I don't think it's a prop or cast from. I don't know anything about its background. You can see photos of it here:

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, I would like to try to make a T2 endo arm. Ideally I would eventually like a metal one but thought it would be fun to try a 3D printed one first and update parts to metal over time.
Could someone please let me know what the best filament and 3D print file to use?
Thank you so much!

HopeOfTheFuture: those are some cool pictures. That one is the same as gizmo posted earlier in the thread. At first I would have pegged it as an M1 because of the two dots on the left cheek side under the temple, but it has later been shown that it is something else. Notice the circle detail in the front cover is similar to how it initially was on the sculpt, before it turned into the version seen on the production skulls. So it could be argued that it is pre-production style.
Did you remove the original detail casting in the temple and replace it with the model kit piece originally used, or is that how it was on your casting?
Hi leonuk: it is okay to ask those things in this thread, but would prefer you start a new thread if you show print and progress, though you are free to link to it here as what you do may be of great use to others making arms or full endoskeletons.

There are a few endoskeleton hand models linked in this thread that are about the best I have found online. Currently there are 2 or 3 available on Thingiverse that seems reasonable, though cannot guarantee their accuracy. You could probably replace the pistons with the ones I uploaded to Thingiverse.

As far as I know, the "T1" one I have is not a kit. I bought it like this. The previous owner only remembered he bought it many many years ago in a store. I did not adjust anything on that skull.HopeOfTheFuture: those are some cool pictures. That one is the same as gizmo posted earlier in the thread.

Okay. Well someone must have finished it. Would have been interesting to know if anything was done to it to alter it from how the casting was. Though, if that was how it was originally before finishing, then that's pretty awesome.

ghostman. I still come back to look at your spine photogrammetry model. Wish I had access to a spine casting as good as the one you had.

Having checked the LFS neck against the neck picture from Stan Winston Studios that ghostman posted it appears that the LFS is pretty accurate to how the original model is positioned, except the top one. That one is completely misaligned while the others line up fairly well. So my original observation that the top piece was the only one that really needed repositioning seems to not be too far off.

The Terminator stuff at Propstore is coming up under the hammer soon. Excited to see how much it sells for.

None of the endoskeleton pieces sold. Only the endoskull. Was the reserve too high?

It is impossible to make all parts with vacuum form.
So, some parts can be made with FRP or plastic bottles.
Or I can apply paper crafting techniques.
Damn peculiar, way more detailed than the M1/timeless/icons endoskulls.

Was Wondering: what would be the easiest way to fix the models on the left with the bits on the models on the right that they are missing?

Overlap two parts in exactly the same position and modify them.
What if you retopologize it?
I don't know if it can be done in Cinema 4D.
Hopeofthefuture I’ve seen your skull before when you posted it ages ago. It’s very cool indeed. Someone has got to know the story behind these similar skulls that have been out there from long ago. I’ve gotta message T-Studio and see what he knows. Supposedly he flew to America from Japan to find out as he has one, although just the upper skull part.
