"Listen and undertand... that Terminator is out there...

Hey Al....good to see that you finally did get some comments, and some good ones as well. Your work is very good....I believe that when the untrained does great work it is more pure and untainted by the Ivy Towers of education. Even though its subject matter is something that is iconic, it still shows the raw talent. { I praise the untrained because I am also untrained, but I never let it even slow me down. I have taught myself to play six musical instruments, taught myself to paint and sculpt, and build.} It says more to me when someone does something just because they wanted to. I salute you.

Really outstanding work! The likeness and attention to detail is incredible, these must take you forever to complete. Great job on the Predator sculpt also, I hadn't seen that one before. It's awesome that you have no formal training too, I majored in sculpture and have never done anything to the level of finish you have here, very impressive.

Thanks. All it takes is observation and patience to do what I do, and the ability to translate what you see to the clay as best you can.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I would like to create some *real* art one day, but I'm so caught up in iconic imagery, that to be able to recreate it in some form makes me feel a part of it.... and I like that feeling, and knowing that other fans feel something when they look at the work. If I was trained though, I would probably be able to sculpt faster lol

real art is crap go do some super hero sculpts

[Alaneye]

Haha, I hear you. What I mean is, something completely designed by me, rather than based on someone else's work. It would still be the kind of thing that I sculpt now though.

I've not been sculpting much for a past month or so, but managed to get some time on old Arnold. I still have some finishing of the hair and the t-shirt and some touching up here and there. I've made the jaw piston with some aluminium tubing, but I don't know if I'll stay with that. Hope you like

[Evilivo]

Amazing! The leather jacket is just like real, the wounds are cool too, and I think I commented on the incredible likeness a month or so ago Keep it up!

[BbaGumpSkrimp]

hello there!! im loving these Governators..ha.., im very new to sculpting and was wondering what tool(s) you used for texture on the "skin" and "leather"??

[Alaneye]

I use paper embossing stylus' they are often double ended and the metal tips are made in various sized balls.

thanks so much!! keep up the superb work, looking forward to seeing more from you Alaneye cheers

[Alaneye]

I've worked a little on Arnie (not done for months). I've started designing a base around the style of the endoskeleton, and I've replaced the jaw piston with styrene instead of aluminium. Just a little more work on the hair and the supporting post and I think he's ready for the oven.

[BbaGumpSkrimp]

i love the additions, so do you plan on painting him up after baking?? i love the painting on your predator btw ha.

Thanks, I'll be molding and casting him.

[Christopher Genovese]

Thanks, I'll be molding and casting him.

This is excellent work. I didn't think lightning could strike twice but clearly it has. Amazing work. Please post details about where casts are available!

[DefiledSoul]

Thats insane man... skin texture, face damage, everything... speechless

[Alaneye]

Okay, I think I'm done with the bust and he's ready to go in the oven.

[Evilivo]

Magnificent! It's been worth the wait What about the styrene parts in the jaw? Are you gonna remove them before baking? Maybe mold them separately?

[Alaneye]

Yeah, I will have to remove them for baking.

[Alaneye]

Took a few pictures yesterday to try and pick up the skin texture better... this one's quite good.

[Alaneye]

Can't see the pictures Eddie....

[Alaneye]

Managed to get him baked last night and was finally able to slot him into the base and see how it all looks. Hope you like it.

[Christopher Genovese]

This is as good as it gets. Utterly sick likeness and detail.

[Alaneye]

Made the moulds over the weekend and got the first castings out tonight. I had a very slight mould misalignment on the right hand side but on the whole I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out.

[Christopher Genovese]

What did you use for the mold of this just out of curiosity?

[Alaneye]

Hi Chris, the mould is made from silicone rubber with plaster jacket.

[Alaneye]

He's all done. Some painted pics with LED.

[zombiejesus11]

Incredible work! You really did a great job capturing Arnold's look from the first film. Very cool to see this from start to finish.

Beautiful job. The detail is absolutely amazing.

[Christopher Genovese]

Great paint job. LED eye really takes it to another level.

[XtcofPain]

Looks wicked Alan.....really cool. Any side by side pics of this and the T2 version
