Hot Toys - DX13 - T2: T-800 (Battle-Damaged Version) 1/6-scale Collectible Figure

[symbiote28]

Great pic, man! I so want to pull the trigger on this.

Thanks! The details and accessories on this made me decide that he would be my first figure which is not a comic book character. I loved T2 when i was a kid and it was one of the best movies back then. My T-1000 is incoming at the end of the month [emoji6]

it will all depend on your paint skills, but regular acrylic paint should work, then spray with Mr Hobby super clear UV cutting Matt sealer.

I wouldn't have any problems with the actual painting part, but I would have problems with the spray...
I once tried a matte spray on another figure... It was a mess, i was not able to apply the spray in the particular zone i wanted and it spilled all over it...
How would i be able to apply it only on the eyebrow, and avoid it being spilled to areas?

And even the spray wasnt very matte, it still left the figure very shiny...

I have already painted the eyebrow, i used a carbon based pencil... Its very dark, but once you put a light on it, it becomes very shiny... Like i said, my problem is getting it to look matte...

Not sure if this helps but I would Spray the matte sealant onto another surface, and when it's still wet take a brush and use it to apply the sealant directly onto the painted area

Mr Hobby is as matte as matte can be when sprayed properly.
It tends to be a bit shiny when brushed. I would remove or latex mask the eyes an spray the whole head to achieve an even finish.
Watch some youtube video on painting and practice on something else first.
Good luck, and the eyebrow looks really good so far!

Try this stuff. That's what i use and it's great.
It's brush on , use a dedicated brush just for this

Best Terminator figure out there. If you can have only one, get the DX13.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Can't QC issues with this?

Should be getting it in a week or two but wanted to check

I have Noir, DX10 & DX13. Was going to get the BD T1 but after Chewbacca went up I went on ebay bought the BD T1 base/stand for my Noir and called it a day.

Thanks for the comments lads. I actually too a good few more shots than that but surprisingly those were the only ones I liked.

The little silver buttons fall off the jacket very easily, be ever vigilant.

I actually bought that, and had problems where the lacquer made the (acrylic) paint run, as if it had an alcohol base. Just FYI, I would test using this first on something you didn't want to damage. I'm guessing some different kinds of paints will be more resilient to this sort of thing.

^yes, testors dull coat is lacquer and you don't want to brush it on acrilic, especially pencil. You can air brush it decently. That's why I recommended the Mr Hobby, it's big in the ball jointed doll community (check out the den of angels forum) where people use powered pastel pigments and seal with Mr hobby, plus it won't yellow like testors. I've been modeling for 30 years...I wouldn't steer you wrong.

Well, after weeks of deliberating I've finally taken the plunge and ordered my first Hot Toys 1/6 figure, the DX13. Whilst I've had RoboCop on preorder for some time this will be my first figure. I really wanted the exclusive version but it's just too pricey. Anyway, I likely won't display it with the T-1000 so it's probably for the best. I can't wait! The wife's gonna kill me tho!

Congrats Seeker. You made a wise decision. It's one of Hot Toys best figures.

Cheers Jimmie. I'll be sure to post my thoughts on it (and lots of pics of cool poses) when I've got it in-hand.
