1/4 scale ED-209 scratchbuild

Tramtrooper · 09-14-2010, 04:51 PM

If i can find some one in the UK, and can find the finance for it, I will certainly consider it. God only knows what the cost would be, but If there are a few people interested enough to place orders then it might be possible.
Please don't start placing orders now though

I have still got a long way to go before it's anywhere near finished. I promise to keep updating when I can.

It looks excellent, I like your building style.
ED-209 is on my to-do list, but mine will only be 1/10. If you keep working, your's will most likely be finished before mine even gets started. But . . .
I'm hoping I might be the first on the forum to tackle 'RoboCain'.

Well...keep the offer in mind...we could work something out.

No need to be humble about this one. The pics are kind of small (hint hint!) but any major flaws would still be visible. The work looks well worthy of being immortalized in resin, so to speak. Talk to Modelnutz!

I have this thing in three scales already, but four is such a nice number.

this is looking awesome!, I've always been a big fan of ED so I'm REALLY looking forward to see how this progresses. Great choice of scale, I'd say 1/4 is about perfect to show off all the detail on him without it being too big (or small)

nick-a-tron · 09-15-2010, 08:14 PM

I love ED and I love this thread!!!

Hacksaw44 · 02-14-2011, 01:31 PM

Very nice !!! I will be watching this one .

Hacksaw44 · 02-14-2011, 01:32 PM

What are you building off of ? Blueprints or a model ?

frostrubin · 02-15-2011, 10:25 AM

Nice stuff! I'm an admirer of ED as well, did the Horizon a few years back. Still one of my fav pieces.

i've got both, please send me your ed, and i'll take pictures for you...

phenomenal build btw..

Awesome work! Ed-209 is a great design. A while before I saw the movie or pictures of Robocop were released, the first thing I saw was a picture of Ed-209 on the cover of a novelization so I thought he WAS Robocop for a while. I was half-disappointed when I later realized Robocop wasn't that design but I still loved the movie when it hit theaters.

Noddy4000 · 02-21-2011, 07:39 AM

This is looking, to borrow a line from those daft Pot Noodle ads, "spanking gorgeous"!

I also second what everyone has said, it is excellent stuff and - if it is at all possible - in sore need of being turned into the master for more.

Outstanding.

scoutrooper · 02-23-2011, 07:03 PM

Wow, that looks great!

JPolacchi · 02-23-2011, 07:18 PM

Are you making this into a kit?

modeljag · 02-23-2011, 07:19 PM

This is amazing! I've built the Horizon and Argonauts kits and would love a 1/4 scale...

I don't think the guy above me read the thread, lol

BlueHarvest · 05-08-2011, 06:53 PM

Just curious to see how this turned out. It looked awesome already and Im sure it only looked better as it came together.

Tramtrooper · 05-09-2011, 04:26 AM

Unfortunately, financial and health problems have forced me to shelve this project for the present time but be rest assured that once I get back on my feet with everything, I will start back up and try get it finished.

That's too bad.... but understandable. Hope everything gets better soon!
