Argonauts T-800 Endoskeleton Part 6

Well, the base has been in progress for some time, but I wanted to focus on it in this blog post.

The base is made from two blocks of MDF that I glued together. I sawed off the corners to make it a hexagon shape. I filled the seams with milliput and sanded it smooth.

I drilled a hole and added a wooden rod that holds the T-800.

I painted the base black and added some yellow stripes to give it an industrial look. I also painted the edges with a metal color to give the impression that its made from a block of metal. I sealed everything with a thick layer of clear coat.

I was lazy and did not hide the battery pack in the base, instead i just painted the battery pack in a dark color and attached it to the back so it's not that visible.

I might build a better base for it in the future but this is good enough for me at the moment.

Check out the models page to see the final result! I am very happy with this build.
