Just been looking at them myself. Im blown away by the fact he uses basic tools... God I wish I had a garage setup then I would have a bash at these things. This kinda stuff reminds me of an old forum user called gordyhand. The work he did on pc cases was amazing.

JAYJT29: of course 
updates every 2/3 days and all the thumbnailed pics are here http://www.ukmonsters.co.uk/robocain/robocain.html I wasnt going to update too frequently on here as the thread would end up about 100 pages by the end, I was just going to put up 1 a week with everything in it, but since you ask, here is todays!
ElectroBlaster:thanks for your praise, it helps me stay motivated. The first gun I made, the WA2000, at the time I didnt have a mill or lathe, I cut and shaped all the metal by hand, as in hacksaw and files, the only machine I used was a pilar drill and a dremel for the wood.
Chimerical I do make things and sell them, I havnt sold one of my guns before, but hey if the price is right!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got hold of 2 pieces of 15mm thick for where the thigh joins the hip.
my woefully small rotary table is under here somewhere!
cut down 5mm both sides to make the circles then trimmed off the excess
all smoothed out
sinking the holes in the sides
like so

Excellent project!
The op is a very good close friend of mine who i've known for about 16 years now, since our school days. I worked with him in the same company for about 6 years and yes, as people can see, he's very good at this sort of thing!
That's coming along really well mate, can't wait to see the finished article!

Thank you all for your kind words, hard to believe this is a thread in overclockers 
turned this lovely piece
then cut a slant on 50% of it, only a few degrees
Now the gears in the pic I cant copy exactly as this is a different scale, so I had to measure the gears in the pic and then count the teeth. The spec is written bottom right in that pic, to achive that tooth count and that overall diamete the gears quite conveniently needed to be Mod 1 pitch. So I bought a wide 28t, mod 1 gear that I can cut in half and use both sides.
next the recess needs to be cut, so back on the rotary table. you can see the gear cut in half on the right.
and that goes something like that
im waiting on a pair of little 10 tooth gears to arrive form "technobots" good website for bits and pieces (google it). for now im fitting it up with an old pinion from one of my trucks
some careful machining required here
all in place and made a little plate for the main gear, had to turn some M2 screws down a bit as they were too big!
then made a block, fitted it to one of the hip joints and attached the top of the leg.
