>> Speaker 3: That's right kids, it's a T-800 poseable figure.
Create all of your favorite poses.
Action pose, the superhero, Shakespeare, the pretty ballerina,
the zen master, the Karate Kid, planking, order now.
>> Bianca: Hello, and welcome to Homemade How To,
where we show you how to make props and costumes with stuff from around the house.
>> Ben: That's right, we're gearing up for Terminator Genisys, homemade style.
And so we're gonna show you guys how to make a posable T-800 endoskeleton figure,
and it's gonna be awesome.
>> Bianca: So for our first step, is to make a sketch of the figure.
>> Ben: That's right and we're gonna make this about seven inches.
>> Bianca: Once we have the head figured out,
your body is actually the equivalent of seven heads.
>> Ben: Yeah, and then the shoulders are actually one head, the torso is about two.
>> Ben: The bottom of the ribcage is about where the elbows go.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And then the hands come down to about the mid-thigh and there we go.
>> Bianca: So now that we have the sketch of the figure,
we are gonna be using some wire hangers that are gonna run throughout the body.
>> Ben: So, essentially what we're creating here is alike a bendy figure.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: Our first step for putting together this figure is the wire armature,
we're gonna be using a wire hanger.
>> Ben: And we're just gonna measure on top of the drawing because it, again,
is a reference, and our spine piece.
>> Bianca: Mm-hm, and then our third piece for the legs.
>> Ben: All right, once we got our wire armature laid out here,
we're going to pile a bunch of garbage on top of it.
>> Bianca: [LAUGH] >> Ben: For the head, we're gonna
be making that out of aluminum foil, and
I know that doesn't make sense right now, but wait till we get to it.
It'll make sense, but we'll just put that there for now.
>> Bianca: For the shoulders, we've got a marker here, a thin marker.
So, for the thigh we've got some plastic clothespins.
>> Ben: And then for the biceps we have two razors.
>> Bianca: The chest piece, we've got another razor.
This one's a little bit more fancy, and the shape of it is pretty awesome.
>> Ben: For the pelvis, we're gonna be using a bottle cap.
>> Bianca: And then this tube, I'm not sure what to call this stuff, but
we've used it as like, it makes good tool stuff.
>> Ben: It also makes sounds.
>> [SOUND] >> Bianca: Watch out.
[LAUGH] And so we're gonna use that for a spine.
>> Ben: For the calves, we're gonna use caps.
>> Bianca: And we've got some bobby pins for the feet and the hands.
>> Ben: And then, also at the 99 Cent Store,
we found these LED clip lights that have really cool ball joints in them.
So we're actually gonna use one of these ball joints for the neck.
That's everything, that looks pretty good, right?
>> Bianca: Yeah, we're done.
>> Ben: I think we're done.
>> Bianca: All right, let's go.
>> Ben: All right, see you.
>> Bianca: [LAUGH] >> Ben: We be back.
>> Bianca: We be? [LAUGH] All right, enough fooling around.
[LAUGH] Now let's build this bot.
[LAUGH] >> Ben: This is a small figure,
it's seven and a half inches.
So we're gonna spend a lot of time in the overhead, just so
you guys can really see all the details.
>> Bianca: Yeah.
>> Ben: So, here we go! >> Bianca: All right, let's get started!
So our first step is to attach the marker.
>> Ben: And cut it, I got purple all over me.
>> Bianca: [LAUGH] So we're gonna need to run that through the marker.
The T-800 has these joints, we're gonna use an eraser, and
we'll need two of those.
>> Ben: Now we're gonna make use of this ball joint from the clip light.
And if you can't find one of those clip lights at the 99 Cent Store-
>> Bianca: Or something like that.
>> Ben: Yeah, you could just actually make the spine wire a little bit longer and
then attach the head right onto the wire, you get the same effect.
>> Bianca: Yeah. >> Ben: It's just, we kinda really like
this ball joint, so we're gonna glue this piece right onto the marker.
So now for the pelvis,
we're gonna use a bottle cap, we're gonna drill a hole in the bottle cap.
>> Bianca: So we're gonna use the bottom piece from the clip light to
form a nice little base for that pelvis bone.
>> Ben: Mm-hm.
>> [SOUND] >> Ben: So then, for the bottom of
the spine wire, we're gonna just put a little bend in it.
Feed the wire through that piece of plastic, and
then we're gonna feed the bottle cap into the wire, [SOUND] like that.
>> Bianca: At this point, we'll take our two piece here that's gonna be our spine,
and we need to measure that out.
Take the two piece, run it through that center wire, and there you go.
>> Ben: Attach that to the shoulder, attach it to the back, and
we're gonna start off with a little bit of hot glue,
but we're gonna reinforce it with zip ties.
So now we're gonna do the legs, we have these holes here, in the pelvic bones.
We're gonna run our wire for the legs through that.
>> Bianca: All right, it looks like we're ready for the chest piece.
>> Ben: Mm-hm, we found, like we said, this razor that has the perfect shape.
>> Bianca: And because it's plastic is a little thicker,
we're gonna use our PVC cutter.
>> Ben: Just glue the top part.
>> Bianca: To the front of the robot.
>> Ben: Yeah. >> Bianca: For the back,
we're gonna use this small storage container,
we're gonna pop the lid off of that.
>> Ben: Sketch this out.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: And so, that's our piece there, we're gonna zip tie that to the front
piece, and so we need some little holes there.
>> Ben: Gonna put this back piece on, we're not gonna glue it or anything,
we're just gonna zip tight it right to the front piece.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: So we're gonna take our two razors, we're gonna start doing the arms.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: For the forearms, we're gonna use markers.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: Put some glue right in there, and be really generous,
slide the markers right onto the coat hanger.
Got his arms made here.
>> Bianca: Starting to look like something.
>> Ben: Yeah. >> Bianca: Looking like something weird.
>> Ben: [LAUGH] >> Bianca: [LAUGH] Stay with us, here.
>> Ben: [LAUGH] >> Bianca: Stay with us,
we're onto something, onto something great.
>> Ben: All right, so, legs.
>> Bianca: For the legs, we've got our plastic clothespin.
>> Ben: Glue these right onto the wire, okay?
>> Bianca: This is so amazing.
[LAUGH] >> Ben: [LAUGH] So, for the calves,
we're gonna use caps.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: [LAUGH] >> Bianca: Just like pop pop.
[LAUGH] >> Ben: It goes flying.
All right, so, we're gonna fill these caps
up with some hot glue, and put the caps right onto the wire.
>> Bianca: He looks so happy right now, he hardly looks scary.
>> Ben: Come with me if you want to play.
>> Bianca: [LAUGH] >> Ben: Okay, so for the feet,
we're using a little bit of the clips from the clip lights that we have, and
just gonna trim those up with the Dremel tool.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: Attach the bobby pins to the foot, and
we're using a bit of hot glue and some gaff tape.
>> Ben: He has a fifth toe that sticks out of his back, we're gonna use a brush.
They have these perfect little beads on the end of them.
>> Bianca: Yeah I think we're ready for some hands here.
>> Ben: For the hands, we're gonna use a little bit more of these clothes pins.
>> Bianca: So again, we're gonna use the bobby pins for the fingers.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: Here, our T-800 figure is almost complete.
[LAUGH] Well- >> Ben: It's a hit.
>> Bianca: So Ben's gonna show you how to mold the head.
>> Ben: Mm-hm, okay, so like I was saying, we're gonna use aluminum foil,
you maybe surprised by this.
But if you just clump it together, and pack it real tight,
you can actually start to form it.
So once we get the head shape figured out, we're gonna cover that all with gaff tape.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And then, I'm actually going to start shaping the head,
some of the features, with tweezers, I'm just kinda pushing into it.
And now I'm gonna add some washers to the temples.
Okay, so then the hole at the bottom I'm cutting, so
that I can slip this right onto that ball joint that we have.
And then the eyes are gonna be bunched up, little, little,
tiny pieces of aluminum foil.
I'm just gonna superglue those right into the eye sockets.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And that's the Terminator head.
>> [SOUND] >> Bianca: So, there you have it,
the skeleton of the endoskeleton.
>> Ben: Yeah, so now we're gonna do a lot of these details, we want to make sure
that we get a really good- >> Bianca: So
like bicep parts that come out, stick out.
>> Ben: Yeah, like tubes and wires, and stuff like that,
so just wanna make sure to check your reference photos,
and start filling in all those details.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And you can see he's
totally posable,
his arms bend,
[SOUND] arms bend up.
>> Bianca: Head moves up and down.
>> Ben: Mm-hm.
>> Bianca: From side to side.
>> Ben: He's a little colorful, though, he looks like he's made of candy right now,
so let's take him outside and spray paint him.
>> Bianca: We cover the entire thing with a gray primer.
And once the primer is dry, spray paint it silver and
it instantly looks like a robot.
He's nice and spray painted, looking very shiny.
>> Ben: Yes, he's awesome.
Final steps, are to add in the details, which are the eyes and the teeth,
we're gonna paint those on with modelling paint.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And that is how you make
a homemade T-800
endoskeleton figure.
>> Bianca: Thanks for
watching, and be sure to check us out to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
>> Ben: That's right, and come back in two weeks,
because we're doing homemade Terminator Genisys,
and this guy's gonna be in the trailer.
>> Bianca: So you wanna make sure you subscribe to Cinefix.
