The leg parts. The leg on the left has yet to be fully taken apart:

The pelvis:

I always loved the design of ED-209. Looks like you're going to repair his damaged arm

Re: ED-209 rebuild

Hi Chris,

I will be molding the black part of the head which is rubber and making a one off casting in resin. There won't be any rubber/latex parts on the model at all. I hate rubber stuff!

Its a lot bigger than the Horizon one. The Horizon is 1/9 and this is 1/6.

Cheers,

Keith.

Re: ED-209 rebuild

Now that you are redoing the head area will you be doing something about the inaccurate sharp edges and making things softer and rounder?

The sharp edges on the head was the main reason i didn't buy this model when it first released, but this one has soft edges. I don't know why its different than the Hot Toys photos.
If it was to sharp though, when its cast in resin it would be quite easy to soften the edges a bit with some heat.

Re: ED-209 rebuild

More pics! I've been wanting one of these since I first saw Ed in the theaters, only life sized, working, and not psychotic. But the model works for me too! :love

Re: ED-209 rebuild

Are you going to be accurizing the right arm? For some reason HT placed a second gun on there, but this may have been changed with the battle damaged version. Anyway, ED should only have one gun on his right arm due to the rocket launcher.

Yes, i'm almost finished rebuilding the guns and he won't be battle damaged for long.

Chris, check out this thread to see it compared to the horizon ED-209. I do still have my Horizon one:

Re: ED-209 rebuild

Are you going to replace the moulded rubber "canopy" - mine is starting to distintegrate at the corners

You know...you'd have alot of customers if you could do a run on resin canopy copies.
