Hello chaps,
Many years ago I worked on an original ABC Warrior, this was after the film was made and the Warrior was required for some promotional tours. Some of the electronics in the head wasn't working and so I was asked if I could fix it. I took some reference photos at the time which I've just unearthed today during a clearout, If you're interested I could scan the photos and upload them.
They might be of use to some of you builders out there.

you should def release these photos i know a few people making these alone..
VINCEVADER YOU ROCK!!!!
Thank you very much dude those shots are invaluable, there's so much detail there that none of us have seen before and is not present on the kitset. For me the best are the hands, feet and torso shots. HOT DAMN!
The shots are also useful in that is does show that the kitset is pretty faithful to the prop and so is still a good base for proportions and some of the detail.
Where were these shots taken? If you find anymore PLEASE share
Cheers and thanks

Hi oota goota,
Glad you like the photos, better they're on here than tucked away in an old album in the back of a wardrobe.
The photos were taken at the late Nick Harrison's 'Weird & Wonderful' workshop at Elstree Film Studios back when Elstree was derelict and run down, Nick was the only outfit operating out of that site and he was desperately trying to get the Studios resurrected again. I've got some more photos of his workshop which I can post later.
On a hunt around the Studios at the time I found some very interesting old derelict Star Wars items which were still laying around in old abandoned sheds, but that's a whole other story.
I've got some other photos which will make clear the mechanism used to articulate the torso and neck. If I've got more time later today I'll post those photos with an explanation - stay tuned.
Vince.
Hey those star wars pics sounds very intruiging too!
