Robocain - Robocop 2 robot

Dont know if anyone wants to follow a rather long project im just starting, im going to make the Robocain robot but its going to take quite a while as im doing it all by hand (no cnc).

The real puppet used in the film looks like this:





it stands about 14 inches tall, Im going to make it 19-20 inches tall.

I could post progress in here or just a link to my site?

Lol, that made me giggle

But, O think that what the OP is doing is pretty cool

ags

OP, saw your work over in Motors. This looks very promising!

I make stuff, its a hobby, my girlie doesnt get neglected in the slightest

Wow, going to be keeping an eye on this, good luck, probably best to stock up on plasters?

You've certainly got your work cut out!

ED 209 would muller Cain in a real life fight, fact.

That looks very interesting, good luck with it.

A couple of questions, how long do you think it will take you and what tools do you use to machine the parts?

Posting in awesome thread.

Could fetch a fine buck if you decided to sell it afterwards

This deserved to be quoted!

Best of luck though OP

what mats are you using?

are you sure your not iron man

*edit, just looked at your website, amazing what you can achieve with a drill press and some hack saws

Do you use your drill press as a make shift milling machine?

I think it'll take about 1000 hours, maybe a year. I have a little micro milling machine and a mini lathe

no i have a mill now, but yeh i did just have a drill press for some of my early stuff, i just used to cut everything out with a hacksaw and then file it smooth, dont know how I used to do it!

materials would be my guess

Mats = materials im guessing

Make the ED 209 instead!

subscribed and bookmarked your page.

Think of it this way peeps - if the guy is this talented even if his missus gets 'neglected' then i'm sure she's got a good selection of homemade toys to keep her occupied.....

lol, funny you should say that, i got asked to quote on a ..... hook .... thing with a ball on the end the other day.

Anyway, Aluminium will be the main metal, the plastic looking parts are urethane on the real model but I dont want to cast anything so i'll be using delrin and styrene for the really fiddly bits.
