Arnold Schwarzenegger T1 Life Size Bust Paint Up

Nice!

Gonna throw a shirt/jacket combo on it?

Thanks for the positive comments on the paint up.

The bust is most likely a laser scan & I have had it for about 2 years now.
I paid $150 for a blank & they can be modified to your preference of movie as they come bald.
(This was the only one that I have acquired that was not slightly distorted so be careful when you are buying a Arnold bust.)
I was originally going to use Howard S Terminator 1 bust but I did not like the look of the sculpted hair.
I am not overly concerned that the facial scan was taken when he was older just as long as the overall likeness is there.

The Gargoyles I believe are the 85's smoke but I could be mistaken.

I have the leather jacket, shirt, cargo pants & need to score some harness boots.
I must have spent over an hour putting the zig zag pattern on the grey shirt with a black sharpie. :ermm:

I need to modify my mannequin to look more like a body builder & move the arms & reposition the hands/fingers to accommodate a gun.
I'll put some pics up when I finish the body which may take a while.

Brilliant work matey, love the skin tones, and the hairwork looks natural, had to do that with a resin bust

Thanks Frosty as I have always been a big fan of your work.

Painting natural skins tones can be a painful process but if done correctly it really brings the resin to life.
I had also added sweat as a subtle effect but it does not really show in my photos.
I was able to glue a quality wig down on the bust & after cutting it with thinning scissors it looks fairly natural.

My next realistic caucasian project that I am doing is a Howard S Jack Sparrow that has been sitting around forever.
I wanted to polish up with real skin tones/hair work on a few other busts before I even attempted it.

I honestly have more fun painting monsters because you have way more room to play around. :laugh:

Thanks again guys.

I really want to take my time on the mannequin that I have to get the pose just right & add muscle to arms, legs & chest.

This particular laser scan bust came raw & had been slightly modified to be more full in the temples/face.

I would have loved to have a silicone bust of Arnold with punched hair but I just can not justify paying thousands of dollars. :wacko:

might be the camera, but the lips look a little too red and maybe should be paler. the last thing you want is to have someone think the terminator looks like he's wearing lipstick. looks awesome though man nice work!
