This is my Neca 18" ver.1 Endoskeleton Custom. This is the completed project.
This Endo has some great potential for customizing. It has size & its relatively cheap plus there's plenty of them out there to be had.
First up was to take it apart and change and improve some of the Endo's parts where needed rather than just doing a simple repaint. I wanted to incorporate more metal parts to give it a better overall finished look. I ended up doing a lot more fabricating work to many of the Endo's parts which is making a nice improvement overall.
I started with the head. The first change was the eyes. They are too oversized, bright and have poor circular shapes. I removed the existing eye lenses and used some brass tubing to make a housing for the new lenses. They are now smaller & more circular.
Next was up was to reshape the hands and feet. As you can see, the hands are need of reshaping. For each hand, I started with scratch piece of aluminum for the base. I cut and reshaped the wrist base, then polished and drill the necessary holes for the fingers, rods and screws. I ended up cutting the original fingers at each joint and creating new a new set of fingers using the same joints and using brass & stainless steel rods. I then used tiny screws to attach each hand to the arm. I then finished up each hand by adding the additional finishing stainless steel metal parts.
For the feet, I essentially did the same as with the hands. I took them completely apart and added metal shaped piston rods and reinforced them with stainless steel rods.
Next was to refinish the Phased plasma gun in-the-40 watt range. I covered the seam that runs in the middle of the gun so it looks like one piece rather than two. I then drilled out each barrel and then apply primer for painting.
Now I wanted to correct the pistons for the pelvis area on the front and back. I ended up taking apart each piston and cutting and replacing the shafts using brass rods and remounting the pistons so it matches closer to the original Endo.
For each leg, I made the two cut outs to each of the side of the leg so they are now open. The look much better now and match up closer to the original Endo design.
For the chest piston mounts, I used some special metal screws to mount all the pistons in place.
I then made the base from scratch. I added plenty of victims with their skull fragments scattered about.
The Endo should feel right at home with this environment.
This was a total repaint from scratch. Once the painting was complete, I finished modifying the hands & arms with stainless steel cables & metal parts. All the exposed screw holes are now sealed.
The upper pistons are now secured by polished metal & brass screws. The phased Plasma gun in the 40 watt range was refinished & painted with a little added heat distortion to the barrel tip.
I replaced the plastic shoulder cables with real stainless steel cables and scratch made the head cable connector; I then rerouted and connected them to polished brass mounts. I left some of the brass parts in their natural color, mainly to give the Endo a little variance in color. The polished brass parts actually look quite nice against the chrome.
I then gave the overall chrome finish a slight worn look rather than just a fully nice chrome finish.
As I said before this Endoskeleton doesn't get much love, but with some tweaks & mods it now holds its own to most of the Endo statue's out there plus for about $40 bucks you can't go wrong. Enjoy!
Very Nice for the Music 👍thanks
Amazing job better looking then the hot toys one
I would like to have something like this in my yard every year for holloween.
Wow! Best 18 inch Neca custom I've ever seen! Looks even better than the Hot Toys!
the model is handsome
great job , amazing tribute for legendary movie .
Awesome ❤
Really nicely done. You go into a lot of detail about your mods, how about a lesson on how you did the paint. I'd be very interested to know how you got that superb finish. I presume it was originally that 55 gal drum silver/gray they all come in.
Wow - very nice work!!!!
wonderfull piece
EXCELLENT WORK!
Would you be able to tell me how you did the custom eyes please?... I want to buy two of these from Ebay and mod the eyes so that they stay on until I turn them off. Please sir, your help would be greatly appreciated ❤❤❤
Nice vidéo....good job
Amazing work man! I'm gonna buy one of these next week, I was originally just going to spray paint it silver until I seen your video and now I'm in project mode! I think I've got most of it figured out about how I was to do mine but I'd love to know what paint you used? Possibly Alclad 2 with a gloss black primer? Plus about 20 other questions I'd love to ask haha.
Again, awesome work! 👍
Perfect !
Beautiful. How did you get the eyes to stay lit?
