Fred barton 1:1 Robocop bust

[blazingb]

HAHA....true, thank you for correcting me....The ONLY one!

 

[Reinhardt]

Agreed.

Ok, Ash, you have put a bug in my head and it's nagging me.. so I emailed Fred about the bolts.

Yeah, I am obsessed and insane. Damn I love collecting.

 

[Ash Housewares]

Ok now I feel bad

 

[Reinhardt]

More than anything, I am just curious why they weren't included. Still the.greatest bust ever made IMO.

 

[blazingb]

Agreed.

Nice one Reinhardt....because I was just about to email him too, looks like you beat me to it. Please update us on his response buddy.

 

[thx217]

The bust is indeed based on R2 more then R1. If Fred can't add them in, at least find out what kind of "bolt" it is. I'll mod it myself, along with the chin guard(R2).

Here's a better look

 

[Reinhardt]

Good pic thx. How is the chinguard different? You guys are killing me with all your detailed knowledge of the suit!

LOL, they are pretty obvious, no detailed knowledge required.

R1 chin guard - Thin, somewhat uneven surface, matte finish(as much as they tried to make look shiny...)conforms(moves while the talking) to the face and was most likely made out of rubber or latex.

R2 chin guard - Thick, smooth and shiny and doesn't move while the actor is talking and most likely made out of fiberglass. Like someone mentioned before, "they made it look like a million dollar suit."

 

[thx217]

lol, just noticed that even this $20 vinyl kit I'm working on has the bolts.

 

[Bowzer]

Wow thx217 thats a nice kit. Where did you bought it?

One of the most awesome things I have ever seen:

great to see weller has a sense of humour about robocop. he used to be pretty uptight about being associated so much with the role.

and his helmet in the vid is the most screen-accurate version i've ever seen. hands down.

 

[Reinhardt]

Agreed. Someone call Fred for another update to the bust.

any word on the "bolt" question you sent Fred?

 

[Reinhardt]

Not yet. I'll be sure to post here as soon as I hear something.

After seeing this a lot of people have shot it.

I don't see it as a problem, but if the sculpt is infact based on Robocop 1 they should've been included.

Do you know this, or just guessing? If you do, source please.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

Reinhardt,

would you wanna ask anticlaus about the bolts on the RoboArchive? I can't access the Archive when i'm at work...company has it blocked for some reason. If not, i can join and ask later this evening.

I am curious, because i was under the impression this was the Definitive Robocop 1 representation...it still is the definitive Robocop 1:1 bust

 

[Reinhardt]

Actually, maybe better if you ask tonight. I think I've become high maintenance enough, asking all sorts of questions regarding paint, bolts, material used, etc...
