yeah that would be a sight. *robocop faints at an event* it would look like you just powered down lol.
I hope you can figure out the strapping
things are looking great
I will work it out! Not letting that stop me from entering my 1st Con!!
Glad your still enjoying my build. Hopefully it will speed up now!

It's good to see the progress continuing!
I didn't mention this earlier, but I think it is really awesome that you are making a Robocop. I think I still have my 12" figure that had a compartment in his thigh that would open up and he had storage for his pistol. (Maybe it was 8", I can't remember...)
Good to hear that you have plans to NOT choke yourself out haha.
Some people suggest that it is better to have a separate belt to attach everything to for your lower half so that your shoulders do not need to support everything. I say test a few things out and wear them around the house for several hours at a time to see how comfortable or uncomfortable you will be when you are out in public in a place that may not have a place to sit or whatever. If you decide you don't like something, it is a lot easier to fix it if you give yourself time before a convention rather than trying to fix something at a convention.
Also, when you mention the PVA, are you planning on going with the polyurethane method?
I can't wait to see some pics with you wearing everything you've made so far!

First time on.
So its finally time to wear it and feel whats right and whats wrong!

It feels great except for my knees, I have to shorten the joints that hold the thigh and shin together.
Now. The opening thigh. Yes I have began to work on it, no I will not be using it. After wearing for 20 mins last night I have decided that even if i complete the thigh, I will not be able to open and use it. I can not see much in this. And the gloves do not help. Auto 9 in my hand all day by the look of it!

Going to start on the details next. Grills and groves. Also must finish my feet/boots. I will also be giving it 5 layers of PVA glue to smoothen him out before he heads to the car spray shop to get his color added.
Yes I will add a layer or two of polyurethane.

Undersuite Update
I have painted my undersuit foam with a elastomeric rubber paint. Its the stuff you put on the roof of your house. Not to sure how its going to work, but from what I can see so far it's doing the job!

I have now also started adding the small details to the rest of the shell. And I hope to start adding all the groves and grills soon. As you can see her (Below) The helmet disks are going/are now in.

Auto 9 time!
Started making my Auto 9 gun. Its 10 inchs long (A bit smaller than the movie gun) I will sand it tonight and add artwork to it too. I added some weights into it to give it some weight. I will need to be able to spin it on my finger for my performance at the Con.

Undercoat ON!
The day has come and RainbowCop has now left this world! I have finally added the 1st layer of his undercoat. I still need to make his toes and leg pistons.
I will add his visor after his spray job. Hopefully he will be up and running in 3 weeks!
I hope you have enjoyed this build, I have been challenge and on multiple time had the feeling it was never going to be finished, but having him one colour really helps me know he will be at the October Comic-Con 2014!
