Robocain - Robocop 2 robot

Insane stuff, really impressive.

I hope you keep a good metallic/real looking finish after painting it. Would be a shame to paint it all then be hard pressed to tell it apart from a mould! :D

More updates! :)
 
Once again incredible work.

When this is done you should send a link to the photo/info page to Adam Savage (from the Discovery tv show Mythbusters), he does stuff like this (made the pistol from Blade Runner for e.g) but on no-where near the scale of some of your projects!
 
Well im in Florida this week but you'll be pleased to know I kept some updates back so you dont get Cain withdrawal! good thinking huh :p

I recessed where all the screws sit with a 3mm mill then drilled and tapped them, turned the screws down too.

Next I made a pair of these blocks on a slight angle that will go into the back of the drum and allow them to be adjusted a bit and then held in place

something like that

on to the other side, turned more or less the same size with some beveling and recesses

it needs a U shaped piece on the front of it, after a bit of thought I decided just to do it by hand. Its only a 1 off and by the time I'd setup the rotary table and clamped such a small piece down I could have made it.

something like that

after fixing the "U" on I milled out room for the cover.

Good god, this is simply awesome.

Might of missed it, what kind of workshop set up do you have.
Assuming you must have full on lathes and pillar drills.

This is exactly why i was thinking that home anodising would be a better option than painting. You can get some awesome results and its a finish that is beneath the surface so it'll retain all the detail and be far more durable.
