Encountered a few problems with the arms, been sorting them out. Mostly changes to the shoulder's curvature, and bringing the triangular supports closer together. Those few changes required a lot of the surrounding geometry to be modified. Anyway, thought I'd throw up a quick render to give a...

Thank you! I should start unfolding the arms tomorrow... they might be up by the 30th, but I can't promise that. A friend of mine may be sequestering me in anticipation of New Year's. So, expect them sometime before Jan. 2 is all I can really say. :D It'll be nice to have this part done. The...

Final arms. Vent added to lower arm cuff, center split on upper arm cleaned up a bit, edge lips added. The outside elbow joint cover has been cleaned up as well, while the inside elbow cover has had a few polys removed for ease of build. The only thing left for me to do is add a ledge on the...

I've got the upper arm finished, and I'm finishing up the lower arm cuff. I've also decided to make the outside elbow joint cover a permanent piece (the inside elbow joint cover needs to remain a floating piece for movement) since Pep means that the arms can be sized to anyone, and won't...

Still building the helmet, but thought I'd get some critiques on the arms. Please ignore the placeholder gauntlets. While the basic forms are there, they're definitely not ready for unfolding. I need to clean up the cuff and add the vent on the inside edge, but aside from adding a lip to the...

I have every intention of building this myself once I'm done. As a matter of fact, if my import problem hadn't dropped me so far behind schedule, I would have waited until I had reached the fiberglassing stage on my own build before publicly releasing the files, just to make sure that everything...

Thanks! But remember, he's not a robot! He's part man and part machine! All cop, though. :p

Crossposting from my noob forum thread (right here!) but I'm finally beginning to release some RoboCop files. :D By the way, does anyone know when I'll be able to make a thread in the Pep forum so these files can see a wider release? I've dug around, but can't find an answer.

That's the same model that's been floating around for a while; not usable, even as a base to modify and build atop. Luckily, the problem I was having before (where entire parts of the model would vanish when Pepakura imported them) has been alleviated, so I can keep marching forward. I slowed...

Had an export issue that hampered everything, but now I can move forward again! And here is the first file: Robo's helmet and collar. The collar is fully detailed. The bottom of the helmet also holds the corresponding details. And yes, the whole thing does split apart like the original...

You can use watered down PVA glue (white school glue) instead of flour & water for paper mache, to alleviate the risk of molding. And the cool part is that you can brush on thin layers of glue onto the model beforehand to reinforce the corners so it doesn't become as warped when laying on the...

Jumping on the "Holy crap, you're awesome!" bandwagon. And I know what you mean about doing your best modeling late at night... no neighbors making noise, no street traffic, just peace and quiet. It's 5am here as well, and I'm still modeling.

IIRC, the original Arc Reactor prop measured 3.75" in width, not counting the housing permanently attached to Stark's chest. But also keep in mind that Robert Downey Jr. is about 5'7"-5'8", so it should be scaled up for taller people (that's also why the 1:1 Sideshow bust seems so small to most...

I've zipped up the CGI MKVI vids from the official site and have them on MegaUpload. There are 15 separate animations linking the six different parts together, resulting in quite a few good views. 1280x720 res for each file, 9.23MB. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EPML7TBN I've also got all...
