Project: Terminator

Nice work! I am a HUGE fan of the movies! I can't wait to see the finished product.
When I get Mark1 done, I might skip ahead and do Mark13, Which will be a replica of the machine from the movie "Hardware". But enough about me...:D

I don't know for sure but I think Scythe just released a bigger sink lol. The Kabuto (reminds me of Pokemon lol):

/\ shes a biggen... 700+mg... :dead: omg

Yep 730g without accessories (mounting hardware and possible fan).

The mobo isnt in yet, and frankly, my intend was to start with that piece first. Now that it is really much later,
instead i'll show you another part of this mod.
There will be two arms along the side of the case and in the movie you must have noticed that arm is an
important piece that Cyberdyne rescues from the first Terminator wreckage.

Yes, through internet, ( just like the skull ) you can buy brilliant replica arms, even in lifesize. But I am making
my own arms, and now i'll show you a piece of the hands.

My first prototype I made a mock-up with nuts and bolts.

Allthough it wasnt bad, I decided to make another version of them.
To get lifesize, I used my own hand as example. Routing it over a piece of paper.

Adding all the measurments.

The large middle piece I draw as a fold-out model.

Cut it out of the paper.

Traced it into aluminium.

With some creativity, I added some depth.

For the fingers, I used this thin aluminum tube.

Cut it and sorted to size.

This is the drawing with the tubes.

I will use stiff electricians-wire to connect it all together.

For the phalanx I used this square piece of wood.

All the phalanx come from this piece, connecting the fingers.

I will make them one by one, as soon as I know the correct position of the hands. Then paint it metal/silver and
done. ( oh and then the whole process again for the other hand.)

nice idea, should look good :up:

That really is a very nice idea, cyborg arms FTW!!!

sweeet... keep it up frenkie...(doubt it will fall)

Holy crap man, you're going all out on this one. I really love the fact that you refuse to buy pre-built models and insist on building your own. That is really the core of modding itself I think. Nice work so far!
