Get it, and keep both.

Sound advice.

I did it and no regrets Good luck!

So did I and no regrets at all. I can probably nitpick it to death but bottom line is this has immense presence, so much so that guests can't stop looking at it and taking pictures.

i'm happy for you, mate! I have the same feelings about this piece.. and wonderful cat by the way

Thank you!

Better!
But I totally hate the joined teeth. On my old SSC bust I separated the lower ones in the front

 

[gypsycatcha]

Looks better. I did the same on my orgm version. I also darkened the upper part of the tooth to really hide the join...

 

[Patriot666]

Maybe using one of those wires that's a saw could be used to floss in between his teeth, to separate them? Might be too thick though.

Yes i know what you mean, i agree.. how did you separate them? Any tips?

I used a combo of a cutter and a fine file. And a lot of elbow grease, because the plastic teeth on the old SSC busts (combat version) are very solid. I hope to take some pics in the next weeks.

Interesting... can't wait to see your pics!

A bad pic I took some time ago when working on it - as I said I hope to take a better one soon:

Definitely an improvement!

Repainted the teeth to make it a bit more realistic, do let me know if there are anything you guys think I should fix!

Look's better. Might look at doing that myself. Is it just me, or are the 'eyes' a little big? When I've got it lit up it always seems a little bug eyed.

Several people have mentioned about the eyes, you are not alone.

Good work Jameson, i like it!

Thanks guys! I can write a tutorial if anybody wants. The eyes ARE a bit big, and while unfortunate, doesn't detract much from the overall presence, thankfully. I was thinking of getting a pair of aluminum rings, which the lack of it is causing that wide eyed look.

 

[Jameson Rook]

After so much criticism on the thread, I was honestly going to get the Combat Bust, and met the seller to inspect the figure. However, amazing as it is, I didn't think the Combat Bust was imposing enough as much as a counterpart with a torso, so I took my chances knowing full well the pros and cons and got this one. Is he perfect? No. Does he have presence? Absolutely. There's nothing like the feeling of guests walking into your room and going "Holy s***! A Terminator!".

 

[The Grim Beaker]

Yeah I think it's great. Of course it's not perfect, but I'm cool with that, and some of the other options that I've seen haven't been exactly A*, so I don't regret the purchase.
Like the idea about the aluminum rings, might see what I've got lying around in the shed.

The eyes are way to0 big.Somebody should make some new smaller eyes for this bust.

 

[marker2037]

That looks great. Nice work.

Might as well make them clear too.
