Bionic Commando "Rad" Spencer Build and Bionic Arm!

[El Fett]

I assembled one of the boots over the weekend. They are still missing the final paint, detail and weathering but aside from a pair of suspenders. I think I got the whole getup covered now. All I'm missing is just ahm...let's see...oh yeah - a bionic arm!

Thanks wako. One thing you guys will notice once I put this on is that the boots are huge! You can't really tell with the mannequin because it is SO much taller than me.

Thank you. Nothing would make me happier than an update but It's all on Msleeper's hands right now. So waiting on her to do the next update...hopefully soon.

Looking good. Ironically i was replaying Rearmed and started Rearmed 2 last night. Hopefully Capcom doesn't abandon this franchise like so many others and makes another game. I have the .pdo of the arm from the post earlier but am too chicken to try to unfold it lol

I know it's been a while with no updates here and that is due to this project hitting a wall with msleeper. Unfortunately she is no longer working on this project with me. She says she may attempt it on her own, in the future. I wish her the best of luck.

as for me. I did not let that stop me and the project is still full steam ahead with a totally different approach now. Meaning I am no longer interested in getting this 3D printed and in molds. I will be the proud owner of a very unique, one-of-a-kind, more authentic piece.

Ladies and gents. ***** just got real:

More to come soon

I am just going to type out the first thing I said when I saw that prop arm.
"Holy Crap!"

 

[Spideyfox]

wow that looks amazing what is it made from? and why did she abandon it?

Its made of real life steel

Why did she abandon the project? I wish I knew...it was never really clear for me but I felt like she lost interest and also had some time management issues. It was just best to cut ties because I actually want to see this completed in the near future. She was treating this project more as an open ended "might or might not happen"-type of thing and that wasn't working for me.

That sucks but this is so cool things happen for a reason i guess cuz this is f@#$ing awesome did you custom make it. to me it has this bionic arm/ dr ock feel to it

 

[El Fett]

Almost there fellas! (or whoever is left checking in this old thread haha...). The claw's mechanism is friggin awesome. I'll try to get some video for you guys soon.

 

[El Fett]

A moment five years in the making! Lol. I promise more pics as I progress on the detailing but I leave you with this short vid for now.

Now that is totally rad!

 

[El Fett]

Had some time to work on the arm yesterday. Here are some pics

I think this is the first time I've ever had to add rust protection to a costume piece/prop. I gotta say that's kinda cool.

Then I airbrushed a metallic finish on the whole thing

Then started to bring in some color

Did a couple of different layering effects:

And finally here we are:

Still have some more detail to add with brush/acrylics and all the hoses, LEDs and miscellaneous accent details but we're getting there!

 

[Alpha Proto]

I think you may be the only person in the world with that bionic arm now. Awesome work!

 

[Jackal]

Well done! That's absolutely Brilliant!!
