Robocain - Robocop 2 robot

[Building Candy]

Thanks for the support guys its much appreciated and helps me stay motivated when I get to tough bits

Made 2 more little fittings, getting the hang of these now, 2 small pieces of rod, drill one 2mm and bevel the end, hold against the 2nd mark wher the hole is drill 1.7 tap M2, then drill through 2mm and counter the top 3.5 then add M2 hardware, everyone with me? no? good......

Me looking grumpy

milled a recess both sides then drill and tap to attach the aforementioned fittings.

got the plastic gears I said about

all fitted together, starting to look like a leg, made a plastic capping to sit on the joint behind the ..... thing....... you know what I mean, its been a long day.

Ok starting on the hip, not easy to see the shape of the curves, especially round the butt.

started with 2 big chunks, this way I can attach the legs from the hip side then sandwich the two halfs together.

bit of a big curve to do by hand so using the rotary table to get the shape

something like that, drilled through the middle and everything lines up, turned a spacer (right) to hold the leg away from the hip

looks ok, dimentions feel right

now having to put the bevel on both sides, I did consider fitting it back up on the rotary table but that would have been a pain so im doing it by hand.

In absolute awe! Do you have an engineering background?

I think i speak for everyone when I say, This thread need more topless+dust mask pics!

Incredible, it’s just amazing to see how you craft the parts. Do you spend a lot of time going back and re-engineering them?
 

 

[Secret_Window]

Absolutely awesome! I just started watching the Robocop movies again this well too!

 

[robgmun]

You're insane, i love it. Surely you are the anti-britboy. Actually providing pics of just how awesome you are

no I work with computers, only thing I made in school was a wooden boat when I was 9...... it capsized. I havnt been on any courses or anything, this just comes naturally.

Not sure what you mean, if you mean in terms of how they all fit together then yes, in most cases I can work out how things are held together but sometimes its guess work. I have an easier time of it because this wont need to be used for filming and so not having to be constantly adjusted and moved about. A lot of the joints look pretty over engineered to last all the wear and tear, im able to cut corners here without it really showing.

Awesome


You know when judgement day comes he'll be the one building the terminators.

Absolutely awesome work, wish I had the skills to be able to do something like this.

"What did you do this week?"

"Oh, I made a sniper rifle ... from scratch"

Hah hah hah! Nice!



Incredible work. Simply, incredible.

 

[Beerbaron]

i cant wait to see this finished

 

[Dark_Angel]

Really nice work.

Though, I fear you've made a lot of the OCUK's male members a bit... confused with a man crush... O.o

 

[smokedog]

Amazing!

Let me know if you want to sell it

 

[Bony Maloney]

Top banana. Well done fella Keep us posted.

 

[Building Candy]

thank you all for the support


Beveled the other edge to match and cut a recess then made a plate to secure the 2 halves together, looks pretty close to the real one (you'll see later)

next groin, what fun. Rough shape out of delrin

had to file the matching curve by hand

......... next followed a lot of hacking away, and swearing where I forgot to take pics, I got a bit involved

something like that

attached with hardware as per the pic.

Ok on to the rear end!

hard to cut pieces like this on the mill as theres never much to grip in the vice

2nd one

trimmed back

picture on the left, see the little plate that joins the 2 halves together

rather carefully milled the grooves out

then drilled, countersunk and tapped with 2mm hardware.

Mr Candy, I'd be very surprised if, when it's finished you couldn't make some money out of this. I know this is just an exercise as it's a hobby of yours and something you enjoy, but if you can make money from it. Why not?

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

This is beyond epic, this is Ray Harryhausen EPIC!!

 

[GeX]

what kit are you using to do this with?

(and by kit, i mean equipment - it's clearly not a 'kit' build!)

 

[dcsarge]

Wow, this is awesome stuff. I can't wait to see the finished killly robot thing (who would hand ED-209 his CPU while it was still hot).

 

[Aod]

what kit are you using to do this with?

(and by kit, i mean equipment - it's clearly not a 'kit' build!)

he's got a small Mill with a rotary table.
he also has a Pillar drill (essential, really)
i THINK he also has a lathe, but i'm not sure.

the rest he does with hand-tools, brute force and swearing
