My New Life-Size T1 "I'll Be Back" Terminator (Lots of Pics)

[Brent72]

Here is my newest pet project....a life-size T-800 Terminator based on the "I'll Be Back" police station shootout scene from the first film. I tried to get the most accurate clothing possible including the Museum Replicas 25th Anniversary T1 jacket in XXL and the exact style boots he wore in the movie. I had fellow RPF member Brian Johnson (Johnson Arms Replicas) make me a perfectly accurate AR18 rifle and had the shotgun customized by another fellow member Tim Sloan (TCSloan) who also did an amazing job putting together the mannequin and the custom base with full LED lighting. I added the empty bullet casings and shotgun shells for the finishing touch.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy the pics and video clip:




















And here's a video I shot that shows off all the lighting effect:

one of the best non-armor suit lifesizes i've seen! usually I dislike those hands at the sides poses but it works really well with terminator. nj!

edit: light on the front seems SUPER bright though. not sure if that's just the camera.

Thanks for the nice words. The LED police lights on the front look brighter in the pics than they do in real life probably due to the camera's exposure. In person, they are spot on just like actual cop lights.

As for the pose, I had originally planned to go with the pose you see in the pic below, but due to the weight of the guns and the fact that mannequin arms aren't exactly cooperative on certain poses I had let him hold the guns down at the side. Ultimately, I'm glad I went with the current pose because I really love how he looks just standing there with them at his side.

Thanks for the nice words.

There's a guy on the Sideshow Freaks Forum who goes by the username "Godaiking" who makes the T1 head. The rest of the build was put together by a guy on the RPF for me. Needless to say, I'm very happy with how it turned out.
