Foot support slots made from tube styrene were drilled into the base. Concealed by endoskeleton foot and surrounded by model bricks. Bricks painted POLLY-S Red Brown
and dry-brushed with TESTOR Military Tan. Base
bottom is filled with resin. Rollover : Angular position of tube styrene gave the model a slant look-and-feel.

To
hide the sunken rods, I added wreckage details to surround the items.
Bricks came from 1.35th TAMIYA brick wall set, I took a plumper's wrench
and broke bricks into irregular sections. A sheet of plastic cobble-stoned street surface is glued beneath the brick debris.

As for Arnold Schwarzenegger, he was already quite famous from his Hollywood and Body-Building careers. On Nov 2003, he made political history (in US and native Austria) by winning a recall election for State of California Governorship. As he stated many times before, only in the US can an immigrant follow his own dreams, marry a Kennedy, and assume a prestigious national office. Witnessing this event, one American colleague remarked that no other country in the world can match American cultural values, tolerance, acceptance, and self-initiative.

Arnold is considered a right-of-center politician. He arrived in the US during 1968 Presidential Election between Nixon and Humphrey. Listening to Democrat Humphrey's speech, he reacted that this was the same old socialistic tax-and-spend program that economically ruined Austria.
- But listening to Republican Nixon's speech, he was intrigued by concepts of consumer demand, global economy, and tax relief for middle class. When he heard that Nixon is a Republican, he replied from that point onward, he too is a Republican.
