Robocain - Robocop 2 robot

Amazing work, great display of skill, you could easily work for a place that does scale models/mockups for a bunch of different stuff. Dunno if they need anyone for Avatar 2/3 do build the techy stuff to scale but... ;)
 
Hello! me again, I finally got off my butt and re-made the ammo belt properly.

Started by cutting down a strip of 3mm brass in to 14mm sections

28 of them in fact, then drilled 2 holes through each one and thread wire through them. You can see the bodge job in the background which is just a lump of plastic roughly painted.

next add some detail so it doesnt look so plain, cut a T shape onto each one, zzzzz booooring job :)

all threaded back together with the end pieces modified to accept tiny M2 grub screws to clamp the wire in place.

all painted black with the raised section in silver

result is a super clean and smooth looking belt

Awesome stuff!! I love how you even have a working screen in there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the film any of the screen scenes would probably have been done with a much larger scale head only model, right? Making it doubly awesome you have the screen in your model's head.
 
Thanks again people :D

Would you sell it and how much would you be asking if you would?

From people emailing me I had a lot of interest, the best offer was 5k but i'd much rather keep him for that, I dare say if it was auctioned properly..... or even ebay on the main page it may attract more offers.

In the film, the warehouse bit, they used a model a bit bigger than mine with a tiny 2inch screen, but they had 1 person to pull the head doors open then push the screen through and twist it , etc. it wasnt automated.
 
Liking the New belt Candyman, a considerable improvement although the original plastic belt still looked pretty good :p

Also good to see this back on the front page of GD again. :D
 
I must admit, i've known some highly skilled craftsmen in my time, but this is really something!

Attention to detail is phenomenal, I hope you get some serious recognition for it. :)
