Here is my 1st test of the RoboCop foam suit. What do you guys think?
I also decided to get a nice new resin replica of the Auto 9. I will take my foam gun to Comic-con as a back up weapon and also in my performance (If all works out) a extra will come onto stage wealding a gun so the foam gun will have its moment
Here is a video of the resin gun 'unboxing'
Here it is! WOW so nice!
Also, FEET and PISTONS!!!

Auto 9 complete!
So I have two guns now... One 'stage' gun and a 'Floor' gun.
I will use my home made foam gun for my masquerade performance and a resin film prop as my floor gun, photos and walking about! Here is a pic of my, now painted, resin gun!
The full RoboCop suite gets painted this week so you will all get to see him finished soon!!

New the site and thought I would check out some non-halo costumes. Gotta love seeing a Robocop! It looks fantastic, Dax. Look forward to seeing it finished

Time to fix some issues....
Although the costume is almost ready to paint, I have decided to make a new (Better) helmet. I found my jaw was not fitting great and looked to 'slack'. So... I watched the making of the 1987 Robocop film and noticed that the jaw was warped over Peter W's head holding it tight to him. I then made one the same
Then I looked at the old helmet, chopped off the jaw and realised that it looked a bit messy, so I garbed my old templates and cut myself a new helmet.
I decided to use a bowl and heat-gun to round the lid. Things are looking good (And I still have the old helmet too)

Gloves and new helmet
The new helmet is looking good. I have just painted its 1st layer of its undercoat.
I'm happy with the fitting much more now. But I decided I have a week or so of extra build time so I have began to 'bulk' out my gloves. I will add EVA foam pads to the outside and paint black like my under suit.
I have also now got a Blackout suite to wear under, filling in any gaps.
I hope people are still watching and are looking forward to the finished product!

The great spray job!
Its been a long time waiting! Things keep delaying the spray job, but not today!
So I took him apart and popped him in bags and like a crazy murderer i put him in the boot of my car and drove off into the night....

Once at the secure warehouse I suited up!
Now remember this is Robocop from 1987, not 1990 onward. In 87' he was FORD T8... not Blue!
Then he was hung, taped down, paint was mixed then it was time!
So now he is T8. I need to now grab a brush and add all the details, but with only 3 weeks till Comic-Con all is looking on track!
