Robocain - Robocop 2 robot

Maybe I missed some pics earlier in the thread but it would be really cool to see stuff actually being cut, for example, the Lump of Delrin. Before, during and after. I think it's cool you can get such a complex shape out of a simple block. I'm curious as to how it's done.

Thanks, I try to take pics every 45 minutes or so, I think any more frequently and i'd end up with 1000's of pics!

Impressive as ever BC. Doubt i'd have the patience to see something like this through.

another one finished

all assembled

turned some collars/disks to mount this on the end, the pincer will go on the end.

start of the pincer

the pivoting points of the pincer will attach to this, its pretty small!

It’s just awesome every time you see another piece being completed.

Loving this still Candy Man, I used to love metal / wood work at school., shame I never carried it on really

Now i'm just a geek!

Didn't think I would stumble on such an amazing thread this morning!
Good luck with the project, its looking fantastic.

BTW, I hope you've got some drugs to keep him under control!

This is looking brilliant!

I want to watch Robocop 2 now...

Starting on the nippers, have to make 2 exactly the same which is always a challenge.

marked everything out and cut a groove each side with the bull nose cutter.

bit more trimming

bit more trimming, wobbly photo sorry

basic shape done on a picture of what im aiming for.

Want your workshop

The missus hates it when I leave swarf all over the carpet

krisab · 9 Oct 2010 at 15:43

this is looking good. Awesome project, cant wait to see what it will look like when its finished

Cut the angle on each side on each one (look like little fish)

started rubbing one down, 600 gritt gets the right finish

found the mod 1 gear track I used for the shoulder disks is just right for the teeth! excellent, one less thing to make!

made a set of these ovals up only to find they were the wrong size

turned the little hydraulic cylinders things

thats the idea, just too short

just to give an idea of the size

put together with the short plates on, it opens at an angle becuase they are too short, better remake them then!

finally the right length, rubbed down, teeth painted, looking cool

nom nom nom

Great project!

I've loved this thread for quite some time.

Im assuming once it's built up you'll tweak and improve it until you're satisfied?

Just read this entire thread, excellent work.

Time to peel myself from my boxers.

yeh just getting all the hard stuff done first, then i'll have to go back over everything making sure its perfect, then painting some bits, polishing others, then pipework, hydraulic lines, etc.

onto the armour.

milled a recess out

cut the middle out

chamfered a curve

that'll fit just about there

M2 hex head bolts,

Had to do yet more little hydraulic fittings

attached and curled up

I need to build up the collar, to where it meets the head.
