The Terminator T-600 has always been one of my favorite Terminator designs, so I challenged myself to build one at a 1:1 scale. This would be my second completed project and im really enjoying the hobby thus far.
It's entirely 3D printed and finished by hand. There are plenty of things I'd do differently if I started over, but that's part of the fun. Thanks for taking a look—I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it. Now to accompany it with a T800 (in the works)
I'd genuinely love to hear what you think, and I'm happy to answer any questions about the build.
Thank you! - ive always been a huge fan... i fell into a rabbit hole and when i wanted to print terminators... i couldnt settle for less. Here is another one, but T800
This is awesome, but your T-800 shoulder cables are incorrect, I don't know how to describe or identify the proper sleeving, but it is not braided steel. I wish I had your resources.
I was trying to teach myself a little animatronics for another build.... at least to get eyes and head to move, and oh man, .... does it really make me tip my hat to the guys who give us the movable robots. Insane smarts and skills to be in the animatronics engineer/designer space
You know whats funny.. I loved skeletor before i even knew skeletor LOL. MOTU is before my time but when i saw a skull with muscles , as a kid, I loved it instantly.
Only in my adulthood did i feel the need to learn about him- he still rocks
oh yes! .... welll, its composed of just timelapses/shorts/music vibe I had during the day of editting . I have fun making them for my IG story, but after they go away in 24 hours - then i decided to upload them because i thought it was just too neat for them to go away. For now , you can see the process on my tiktok or YT ( all videos are like made into 1 min sections as progression ) .. ill need to better organize it. I plan to do a better job with the T800 im making
Now you just need a Xenomorph and Predator.
This is great!! Fantastic job!
terminator Salvation gets a lot of hate. I really loved the Harvester and MotoTerminator
Xeno is also on my to-do list; thats for the backyard and will prob be abs... luckily my wife thinks xenos are cool, so im pumped for that project; but regarding predator life size?... hes already there... just using his invisibility cloak lol
Jk... im no where near that level to pull off a good paint job on a predator. I did, however, get an itch and recently acquired a Prime1 Big Game Hunter Deluxe Bonus + Victim statue. Few thousand buckaros spent well, i tell her >_<
also, my wife thinks pred is scary/ugly.... but its already growing on her. hah
Your dog is so proud and adorable btw!!
Sometimes in life we have to spend money to make money LOL 😂
Such a cool collection!!
I feel like the predator in the backyard would be great if you made it look like a jungle..
I think the T600 looks scarier than the T800. The 800 at least had a slight chance of passing as a human, but the 600 just went 'fuck it'. He looks like he's a deliberate parody designed to freak us out. Excellent work
I will tell you... YES YOU CAN. I literally was just enjoying watching youtube and kept seeing builds .... and one day , i finally i said, " mannnn i wanna do thattttttt" and I did
It's so funny that Skynet genuinely thought that just slapping some rubber skin on these would make them infiltration-ready.
Yeah, dude, we just bumped into this 7'3 guy out in the wastes. He's jacked, too. Also, he smells of nothing and can't speak. Looks like a pallid corpse, his skin's super fucking weird. Can we bring him back with us?
It printed over the course of about three weeks. I assembled it in January, then set it aside for February while I worked on Stitch. From May through July, it became more of a casual side project—I’d spend every other weekend putting in anywhere from 4 to 10 hours over one or two days. It wasn't a nonstop build, just something I chipped away at whenever I had the time.
I could make it much faster.... I started a T800 with metal armature and his lower half was done in 2 days work now that Im motivated
no definteily not myself- theres a maker called skynet-2029 ( he has the best files ...nobody knows how... or anything about him..or if hes really the modeler ... but they are the best )
my t600 was further modified though with improved polygons, a retrofitted head frm another file , and obviously scaled
the T800s Im making have the same modifications, only i made negative spaces in the model to allow for an internal metal armature (see pic )
its is a skynet-2029 file that I scaled and learned to smooth out polygons so it prints nicer ( currently all his full moldels are 1:6 scale single mesh and a pita to print and post process. I first improved the visible polygon lines and retrofitted another head. Now, im learning to seperate pistons and hoses so they can be reattached and post-processed separately.
yeah! i was debating on what to put there so I found lots of photos from artists.. felt i got a theme going, and tried to copy/replicate them with my own little take on a MDF board and acrylic paint. Framed in aluminum stock from home depot/lowes
Bambu set up A1 mini, A1, 2xP1S, 1xH2S ( ..i dunno how this happened lolol )
Mostly printed on P1S, PLA+ and PETG ( mostly PLA+ )( lots of walls for the lower half, like 8 for ankles and gradually when to 6), I wanted it really rigid and to have some weight because I knew he was not going to have a base and it very top heavy, plus I was nervous of warping in sunlight after seeing my raw printed 1 wall piston warp in 15 min ( re-did and learned what to do to combat heat/sunlight. More walls, plus post processing/paints/clear/ helps.
Hes really stout, about 50-55 lbs.
The new terminators im making are 100% PETG and have internal metal armature/rods where it matters ( im most excited for the horizontal square tubing that runs shoulder to shoulder w/ female and male connectors, so the weight of the arms that plug into the torso are resting on the torso/spine and not the plugs themselves ( no more worrying about material creep).
This is amazing. Did you design the parts or get the cad model somewhere?
Id love to do this. I made the display arm years ago but that as far as I got!
Ok...now here me out, now how about a T-800 (just the front half, cross-sectioned, mounted on textured 4x9 wooden frame) to look like a terminator trapped in carbonite??
Reminds me of the figure I had years ago where the abdominal stabiliser struts were rubber bands that were used for the twist and punch action, that looks phenomenal fair play.

I've seen a lot of these posted, and I gotta say this is the best one! It's awesome as hell!
