Robocain - Robocop 2 robot

[RimBlock]

Whilst Cain was never one of my favourite characters your attention to detail and patience is just phenomenal.

After seeing models in Forbidden Planet (New Oxford Street) selling for hundreds 20 ro so years ago, considering the work and time you are putting in step by step it is easier to appreciate why they were / are priced so highly.

Personally I would love to see a Games Workshop Titan or something like a Mech Warrior Madcat although the Madcat.

Damn, I am English... I need a shed, a lathe and random bits of metal and wood .

[Kanifee]

awesomely awesome, very talented indeed, you must have some serious patience my friend. ED-209 next!!!!

 

[ShaolinDreams]

Could you mod my hoover to be nitro rc, oh and while your there how about a robotic monitor arm you have serious natural talent. May i also say, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE IT INDUSTRY!... you should be an Engineer/Artist, you would make a fortune

 

[Phate]

Yo dude,

How much does Cain currently weigh? all this must be adding up

 

[Building Candy]

It weighs a fair amount thats for sure!

Thanks again for the support, its helping me push on.

some more hydraulic looking pipe fittings,

all put together and looking ok I think.

now starting on the thumb

2nd section, needless to say these bits are small lol, making my eyes ache!

1st 2nd and 3rd section

the M2 screws do for all the joints except the tip of the fingers, these need to be even smaller! down to M1.6, thats 1.6mm thread width, dont want to do too many of these, I keep dropping them!

 

[Sukh]

Do you have a separate build log somewhere?

Keep up the amazing work!

 

[Building Candy]

I have all the pictures and a tally of hours and the costs here:

[Cosimo]

I never fail to be amazed by this, fantastic work.

A while ago I wondered how you'd make the smaller bits like the hand/fingers because I thought they'd be too small to do that way, but you're still managing to do them

 

[Building Candy]

yeh, not easy but I am plowing on. Partly the reason I chose to make it this size, so I would atleast stand a chance of doing the tiny bits.

trial fit

making the hand where the 2 fingers attach

little knuckles, my camera has trouble focusing, I must remeber to keep back.

start of the fingers

just the tips to do and then drill and tap everything. The tips need a bit more work as they have a thicker "pad" than the finger part.

Looking great mate.

How much do you have left to do now?

 

[Morgoth]

Is it wrong that I have a little orgasm every time this thread gets updated?

lol, no no, you carry on.

How much do you have left to do now?

I think im about 40% done, still hoping to be done for christmas

 

[ozzy]

Keep up the good work, it's excellent, inspirational and you will end up with something rather rather special.

 

[The Funktopus]

Outstanding work mate. You'd better have a plan for when this thing springs to life upon completion and goes on a rampage though.

You were warned!

 

[^TANK^]

Oh my god those little robot hands .

 

[Mark A]

Arm nearly done, it can be minigun time nao?

Great work mate, that arm is looking sweet!

 

[Tefal]

WE SHOULD TEAM HIM UP WITH PINTER75 SO HE CAN MAKE IT A FUNCTIONAL ROBOT :d

meh caps loc and cant be arsed to retype

 

[Phate]

How many hours roughly do you think you've chucked into it so far?

 

[Building Candy]

How many hours roughly do you think you've chucked into it so far?

as I said a few times I am tallying cost and time on my main webpage along with all the pictures, so far 209 hours
