robocop build!

[ecmuniz2]

So I am just about done with the costume, or at least what I'll b able to do to it with the time I have left. We leave to LA friday very early in the morning. Me and my girlfriend (who is going as morrigan from darkstalkers) are going to do the masquerade, I've been working on the audio file to play. It will be a mix of fight and romance! Hopefully it goes well...a bit nervous since we have never participated! :wacko

So this is the last shots, final trying on. fits pretty snug. a tad on the hot side in the helmet but it will work. It's all taken apart and put in the van ready to go. Me and my girl head out in a few hours so good night!

A couple more shots. I did have enough time to do a quick light black wash

Thanks you guys! Robocop was a complete hit at wondercon. It was pretty hard to walk 10 feet without being stopped for a picture. In the future I have to add an exhaust fan to the helmet, besides that I was happy because the air conditioning was on! Besides that i need to make the neck in the front a couple inches longer. But besides from that the costume held up great! Here are some pics from the con:

Hey Guys,
This is addressed to all you guys following this (robocop the original for pepakura-laellee) and ecmuniz2's thread.
Thank you ecmuniz2 for the inputs and FINISHED costume- that was awesome, inspiring and provided great ideas for the challenges in building my robocop costume. Just a few quick questions: Has anyone experimented or does anyone know how to adjust scale out of proportion (as in adjusting only width or height without affecting the other)? The reason for this is having seen the finished work of ecmuniz2 which I believe is based on the wireframe pdo from laellee this pep file is somewhat different from the look that I wanted for the costume. I had pictured a robocop suit with proportions similar to the bulkier look of the second film, essentially bigger chest and leg parts (the parts for the arms are big enough, the thighs and chest have to be a bit bigger to cast the illusion and besides I plan to have a working thigh holster with an auto9 so the thighs have to be big to make room for that). I was thinking of importing the pdo files and paste in word (.docx) where I would then "pull" the picture sideways to make it wider. It's either that or manually cut away the resulting bigger but longer foam parts (if I want them bigger using the pepakura scale method adjustment I know of I would have to trim off the length - scary) both of which are risky in terms of loosing detail or really getting it done to the right scale (specially the copy paste on word method). ANY IDEAS ANYONE?
These reference pics are NOT mine BASED ON THE TOYS but they might give you an idea:


I will be starting my own thread as soon as I have enough pics of the foam build. The first cut foam piees sucked (I suck at cutting foam) so I commissioned someone with better hands to do it and then I would glue them together. PLEASE HELP. THANKS!

sorry, I think in order to change the scale you have to change the height and the width together. You could try scaling bigger and adding padding on the inside if you want it bigger...

Just wanted to add a quick picture of Sacramento Wizard con! I took first place for best male hero =) Since the first time I wore it I bought a morphsuite for the under layer and just the the face so I could still see and so the chin area was seen. I want to make the leg piece open and close to reveal the gun just like in the movie, I'm still considering ideas. Thinking of cutting the leg piece right down the middle and adding hinges so the leg will open like a door. I'm not sure that I have space inside the leg piece for moving servos so I'm trying to figure out another way of having the pieces open and close. I'm open to ideas! =) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...11.1073741832.1411970379019994&type=1&theater
