  1. Hey guys, this question could be for Agora or any of the members who are building.

    Is there a reason half of this model is metal and the other half plastic? I am noticing pack 1 - 4 the majority was metal but have noticed packs 5 - 6 not so much metal parts at tall. I noticed that the upper body so far seems to be a lot of metal and then the packs 5-6 which are the hips and beginning of the leg are all plastic. 

    Is this a conscious choice to spread out the weight of the model? or was it not within budget to make the whole thing metal?

    I have just finished pack 6, noticing it is starting to get very heavy and having it lying down all the time then moving is getting to be a pain and I am worried parts are going to become loose. 

    Has anyone built a temporary structure or a way to hold the model until we get the actual stand? Contemplating putting some hooks on my wall for now and having it hang. 

    This is by no means a complaint as I am having such a blast building it, just a suggestion that I feel like the stand or something temporary should become available around the half way mark.

  2. Hey guys - thought I would share this. I saw a great video of a full scale t-800 Adam Savage build, he uses a painting method that really brings out the details/adds depth . He uses black oil paint to paint in the nooks and crannies and then use a brush/cloth to smudge the areas. 
     

    I tried it and I’m super happy with the outcome. It feels a bit more used now - all I need is the model Mods eyes and I think this will look super screen accurate!

  3. Hey guys,

     

    Just wondering if anyone has a list of all the tools needed to put this together? I am literally starting from scratch and I dont have any tools so I am going to go on amazon and just get everything I need. 

    Cheers,
    Dan 

     

  4. Hey guys - wondering if anyone on here is using any of the model mods to upgrade their t-800? I have bought the finger joints and I plan to eventually get the teeth and eyes but I was wondering if this is something I should get first before starting the build or is it easy enough to take the model apart after building to upgrade? Cheers guys - loving the experience so far. 

  5. Yessss! Pack 1 finally arrived for me here in Vancouver  in little under a month, it ironically arrived the same day the 2nd payment left my account for pack 2! 
     

    all in great condition - so stoked to get going on it!

  6. Anyone ordered from Canada? 

    Mine says it left the UK on May 16th - when I track it on the Royal Mail website it tells me to use the same tracking number on the Canadian post website but this is all it says for me

    MAY 16    4:56 PM    
    INTERNATIONAL ITEM HAS LEFT ORIGINATING COUNTRY AND IS EN ROUTE TO CANADA
    GBLALA, UNITED KINGDOM


    MAY 15    6:25 PM    
    INTERNATIONAL ITEM MAILED IN ORIGINATING COUNTRY
    EXETER MC, UNITED KINGDOM

    Hasn't moved since... and also I really hope there are no extra tax charges. 🤮

    So excited to get started on this, I like check the tracking every day lol 

     

     

     

  7. Hey guys! Mega excited to start this project - thanks for making this available in other countries.
     

    Couple of questions: 

    1. How do you plan to send the base/plasma rifle? Will this come as a completed piece or will we also be building these elements? 
     

    2. Do you have specs on the articulation? Generally it looks like it’s mega pose able - just wondered if there was a specific number of articulation points. I am a film maker so I might use it to do a few short stop motion clips.

     

    thanks!
