Horizon 1/6 Robocop Model Kit Conversion > 1/6 Poseable Figure

[pengbuzz]

UPDATE: Nearing the end of this build-

I managed to get Bixby Snyder into the diorama; he had to go on the side though:

And of course, another newspaper:

I built in a brace to hold Murphy so he doesn't fall over on display:

New pistons on ball-joints; the old ones kept snapping off their mounts (got the idea from the Hot Toys version):

Alternate head for Murphy (finally managed to get it to work); not 100 percent convinced it looks like Peter Weller, but I'm not going to keep fighting with this. It is what it is:

( NOT A FAN of Robert Burke, Richard Eden or Page Fletcher's versions).


And of course, the Robocop logo; this was a pain to hand-draw and ink, but it seemed worth it:

So, some issues (like the shininess and such) will be solved down the road. But overall, I'm satisfied with the project.

Thanks for watching folks! See you next time!!!

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE.

Um wow, looking like a scene straight from the movie. I, personally, do see Weller in the face but I can sense the perfectionist coming on so I'm sure you will tweak some more.

Looking cool. And nicely done. Peter Weller's face is in that sculpt... seems pretty convincing. You may want to tone down the shine on the face though. He always seemed a little dry.

Yeah... that's just a case of I'm out of matte finish! lol I'll get that taken care of in about a week (when I can afford more).

LOL You know me all too well , my friend! Yeah, there's more I want to do with this. The logo is going on plastic, and I may end up gluing extra plastic to it until it's about a half-inch thick, and then milling it my hand to turn it into a 3-D relief version (complete with beveling and highlights!).

Okay...had to do some rework on the helmeted head, and the helmet popped off. While I was warming the glue gun up to conduct repairs, I thought it might be nice to take some rare (in this case) comparison pics:

Apparently, I did a better job on Peter's face than I first thought!

Too Much Garlic: Found a way to dull down the face!

Got bored and took this shot for giggles:

Fabulous job.

And there’s something refreshing about the handcrafted aspect of the newspapers and the logo and whatnot. Perfectly imperfect.
