Re: Robocop: The Original for Pepakura
This is really turning out great !!
dead or alive, i'm gonna build this one for i was waiting to become one since i saw the 1st movie. another project added next to WM MKII, gavan, and IM MKIII or VII.
don't tempt me. . .i want... noooooo. . . .those legs. . .the boots . . .man. . .the arms. . .the whole thing :thumbsup
Thanks, I appreciate it! I just hope that it's buildable in a reasonably wearable way. I know it will assemble, but Robocop's range of motion sucks in the first place, and I want this to be a reasonably wearable suit. I guess I'll see soon enough

real eff-ing bad ass :rolleyes...
:facepalm i was thinking of building this in the "old-fashioned" paper pep. . .
That's how I am building it. A LOT of cutting and fitting, but I just prefer the strength and finish of fiberglass over paper. I would like to see a foam build where those circles are built in a stack and glued together. Much less frustrating than paper.
i was wondering if you could manage to make a model of murphy's artificial skull (without the outer helmet exposing his face). . .
I can do that. The helmet components ended up being a much larger pain in the #"*"* than I thought they would be, and there are parts I still don't really like, but the experience I got from that make modeling the artificial skull much easier for me. I would probably just model over the entire rear half of my human bust render, and then it would have to be scaled to roughly fit your head while wearing a skull cap. OOOORRRRRR....
Oh man, if someone made that and then cast it in latex or rubber or something to wear as like a skull cap or under the helmet, that would be bad ass.
.... DO THIS! A scaled back portion in urethane/latex/whatever you want that can slightly clamshell onto a skull cap would be perfect to me. I always end up tearing my skull caps (that doesn't sound creepy) so this would allow me to have a durable back with a replaceable cap. LOVE IT.
so much love for this. are you going to be adding a curve to the erm breasts?
What is an erm breasts? If you mean forearms, they are slightly angled after the upper trim. If you mean breasts, I'm still shaping the chest.
OMGGGGG!!! I'm here for my first awesome pepakura in making XD and it's Robocop!!!! Awesome days and Awe Inspiring Job laellee!!!!!!
Thanks!
I am looking for a decent 3d model of Peter Weller's head
that is available if anyone has one. I'm going to put together a static display to store my suit when it's finished, and I'd rather have his face. If not, oh well.
Fun fact of the day: When looking up Peter Weller's height and weight to see how he fit in the suit, I determined he's about 5'10", but no weight.
Funner fact: I accidentally found Robocop stats. 6'0", 300lbs. Lightweight.
Funnest Fact: Peter Weller has never seen Robocop 3. He even knows it sucked.
**edit**
Found a face cast for $32.50 priority shipped to me. Great price if it's as good as it looks.
