Hi TheArnoldFans, Well, I took your advice and tried to go beyond the typical T800 costume by a adding a few "extra" characters.

Cast of characters:
T800 severely battle damaged: Me (age 33) TX with damaged arm: Kristin (my girlfriend, age 23) T1000 with sword through milk: Alex (age 23) Sara Connor in Miles Dyson destruction gear: Enid (age 23). These shots were taken at my friend's annual Halloween party this past Saturday night. The TX's arm was made from a variety of plastic toys, shin guards, LED lights, etc... I'm rather proud of it :)

The metal areas of the endo chest were formed from wire mesh and clay (believe it or not), bondo, foam, and various other items. Duplicolor Metalcast spray paint laid an excellent foundation for a true "metal" look.

The Hawk MM1 gas grenade launcher is a combination of an airsoft pistol, pvc pipe, a hat box, a spray paint trigger, and styrofoam eggs to simulate the loaded rounds.









One feature of the t800 costume that can't be shared via a photo... a 2" speaker driver was exposed into the upper chest of the jacket. a button inside the left glove triggered the movie sound "I swear, I will not kill anyone". I'm an audio nut, so this was actually easy to do. Great effect when I raised my right hand and hit the button...lots of laughs at the party!

Ron will be fighting Kristen for the contents of our mystery prize package filled with some great random Arnold goodies! Great job to all of you who entered and we hope to have you STICK AROUND for next year's 2006 Halloween contest!

Other honorable mentions goes to Kenji Stamet from TheCommandoFans.com. He wants to put a knife in you and twist it - but I think you can beat him!



Two other great costumes were submitted but since they did not leave there names or any contact info, you did not make the contest but we still LOVE the costumes!
