That's looking great so far.

I finished them! It's been a few years since I've touched an airbrush so I was a little apprehensive. Turns out airbrushing is like riding a bike. Only difference is I have to use glasses now for the close up stuff. Lol! I realize these aren't accurate to the true colors and I was just going from memory and bad online images for Robocop II. What I like to do is try and represent what I see on the screen, not the actual prop. Also keep in mind that even these photos wash the colors out and make the armor brighter than it really is. I hate that you can't see the glossiness of the armor and the deeper/richer coloration. Comments/criticism welcome:

I LIKE IT!!!! "Emile"

Very nice work! I do think that the RoboCop 1 colours are a bit blue though. RoboCop 2 colours look perfect though

 

[EndoSickness]

Yup, same here.
Excellent paintjob...looks totally professional, but R1 and 2 look essentially the same.
You need to turn all hues down and overshadow those with a grey, or anthracite.
Dunno if you have something like that at your disposal though...

Wonderful paint job but I get more of a R2 vibe from it. There is a definite silver/grey look to the original suit that is not there in the sequel.

Thanks guys. I agree. Robo I was a little too much back and forth with the colors. That stuff adds up quickly. The camera also evens the two out for some reason as well. Definitely less blue in I than II but I agree I should have held back on the highlights and went darker.

Great job!

Thanks! #2 is now on ebay, btw.

But don´t get us wrong here, man.
Your paintjob was professional and looks great.

Just a question guys:
I have the diecast Auto9 inserted into the holster and the leg doesn't close proberly at the knee, the cover is really loose there.
I tried to try it without the gun but the same thing happens.

The MMS266 doesn't seem to have that issue...

Did you experience the same thing and did you solve it? If yes, how?

 

[cmiller99]

I assume that you bent the knee to allow it to shut fully? Other than that I don't really know of any other thing that could be the reason.

 

[Eisselmann]

The leg is as it should be.
The upper leg doesn't close properly.... :/

Can you post a photo and see if anyone of us shares the same problem??

Mine has a very slight gap at the knee, maybe .25mm. Is that the problem?

 

[clutch]

Why that whole thing couldn't have been mechanized is beyond me.

Gorgeous!!

 

[Metatron]

Is anyone else's robo's legs loose in the hip joints? When I pick mine up the legs are so loose they sort of swing.. I've just got the BD robo and his legs are nice and tight..

Cool pics, Yoshi.

That's not good, Meta.
