Robocop...my hero! - Oevil1 - Saturday 23-Jun-2012 Yes I must admit that when the big guy exploded onto the big screen I was hooked. So for some time now I've been trying to find Robocop's iconic gun without spending a fortune. I did manage to find something that looked a little like his Auto-9 and for only $10... However, being a cheap toy, it had gordy rotating lights in the barrel, hideous sound effects and the last thing you would expect to read on a macho fire arm... "What the?!" You gotta love that 'chenglish'. So I soon pulled this abomination apart. This was actually my testing ground in blaster making before I did my Pricess Leia blaster... http://www.501st.com.au/forum/thread-4208.html and my current E-11 blaster build (almost completed)... http://www.501st.com.au/forum/thread-4423.html So after some extensive cutting, stripping out the inside...all but the firing slide action of course...and a great deal of putty, it all started to look much better. I used a lot of the original plastic I cut out to fill holes and make new panels. I finished up with a gun metal grey paint job and came up with this... I do have another 'to be Auto-9' on hand so that one day I'll revisit it again and maybe extend the barrel, redesign the handle and really complete this pet project. I hope you enjoyed the thread.

RE: Robocop...my hero! - NQDude - Sunday 24-Jun-2012 bit hard to come over mate i am up in the Ville but will be buying a rubbies soon and have been looking at mods that have been done b4 on the RPF some very nice work RE: Robocop...my hero! - The Sniper - Monday 25-Jun-2012 Without derailing this thread, hear that Hugh Laurie is in talks to play the villian in a new remake of RoboCop. Looking into my crystal ball, can I see a RoboCop costume in the near future?? RE: Robocop...my hero! - TheWolf - Monday 25-Jun-2012 I have seen the new robocop costume. Not as iconic as the original. RE: Robocop...my hero! - Oevil1 - Monday 25-Jun-2012 Yes I was just looking into that...Hugh Laurie, Gary Oldman, Samuel L Jackson and Joel Kinnaman to play Robo...didn't see that one comming. A Robo suit...drooling just dreaming of it. It would make a tough decision...the wife or a Robocop suit...hmmm, I'll get back to you on that RE: Robocop...my hero! - TheWolf - Monday 25-Jun-2012 one of the concept drawings. RE: Robocop...my hero! - Oevil1 - Monday 25-Jun-2012 Time will tell if all that is out there is to be believed or not...seen a lot of concepts that are awefully Ironman-ish. Will the remake be remembered as well as the original? Not likely...but fingers crossed. RE: Robocop...my hero! - The Sniper - Monday 25-Jun-2012 i've got all 3 Robocop movies here, the first is still the best, like most series. RE: Robocop...my hero! - Oevil1 - Monday 25-Jun-2012 I can't bring myself to watch the third...and I cringed at the series. RE: Robocop...my hero! - Reaper - Monday 25-Jun-2012 Very COOL build! Can't wait to see the finished product mate |
