This instruction only provides an exhaustive painting process of the Terminator. And also I have recorded a video on youtube: https://youtu.be/WIt7VSOrSp4 for those who have never touched model paint.

You need a 3D printer first, then you could get this model from shapetizer.com.

This can almost be the most skillful step, to imitate human skin color really cost a considerable energy. You'd spray them layer by layer(from yellow to red) to create real skin color. To mix the first layer color: white, yellow and a little red. Keep spray until the pigment runs out.
