No pictures yet, sorry. Remember that Orson Welles wine commercial from years ago? “We will sell no wine, before it’s time”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9SAycHK1o4



Holds especially true for finishing touches and intricate paint jobs.



Don’t want to release anything till the paint is perfect as well as the photos…



It is in the process of being painted. It is a very involved process. Lots of shading, iridescents, blending… Running tests, mixing paints. All takes time.



I’m on it. No one wants this done more than me. I can tell you from the prelims, that he is the best of Robo 1 with a hint of Robo 3. I always thought Robo 2 was a bit to Rainbow and too blue.



Stay tuned….

Just sent to me from Fred himself...

Awesome. I sent him an email this afternoon but never got a reply. I'm sure I was one of MANY people emailing him!

I love all the Robocop 2 prototypes, funny as hell. Like the one who rips his face off/brain out...!

Tomorrow then.

It's not going to be tomorrow.

You'll be lucky if it's this week.

That's the way these things go.

Awesome news! That's the look I was hoping for.

I am very excited about that as well. I now hope the face is done equally well. Subtle skin tones on the face and lips could make and break this bust. I haven't seen any of Fred's work with paint on humans (as opposed to robots), but from the looks of him being a perfectionist, there will not be any compromising.

Absolutely. The face is the key. We've seen way too many attempts and none of them nailed it. That's why we NEED to see some pics of the it. Shiny, accurate looking armor simply isn't enough. Consider the price of it.

PIC!!!....not.

Lips look weird, like when he's having the 'dream' about being killed.

nahhh, he's looks fine

 

[Ash Housewares]

To you maybe but to me he looks like he's playing kiss chase.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

Pretty close if you ask me. Honestly i don't think it can get any closer.

ON Fred's but his LIP expression looks slightly more animated (a little stern)

...but i don't see the DREAM or KISSING expression you're talking about.

 

[Ash Housewares]

It will probably look better once painted.
