Another reason I've being away... ROBOCOP

Updated content.

You even have the face to match, kinda look like Peter Weller....looks good!

Ahh the good old Cooper SK hockey helmet, I used those when I was a kid

I got a chance this past Saturday to wear my ROBO suit and have my pics taken by a professional photographer.... FOR FREE!

Here are some of them (preview before the final shots, photographer has to use some PHOTOSHOP "magic" to clear the pics since theyre too dark, and some things happening on the pics, such as sweat that looks like tears. :shock:

First three shots shows something weird about the angle of the face and the helmet... just not right,





I personally, LOVE THIS PHOTO, but notice the "tear" running down along the left side of my face towards the light.... that's actually SWEAT!!!



In this one, I kinda look like "TINYCOP"! :roll: :wink:






And I like this one as well. Now, look at the other "tear", this time on the lower right side of my face, close to the chin piece.... more SWEAT! :shock:

We all know you were crying!

JK

That looks amazing love it

Again, another update on the same topic... I've being working on the OCP POLICE HELMET project and also with the armor vest, and... HELMET IS DONE! (so as the vest, though).

But first, let me explain the last steps… I had to come up with a stencil based from screen grabs and measure to my own helmet. After making sure the size is right, then I cut and bent the PETG plastic with a heat gun.



After cutting, I’ve sanded the edges for a smooth finish. Took the top part of the protective film, and covered with painters tape to make the 1” black border with black satin spray paint.



And here’s the finished helmet. There’s still room for improvements in small areas, but I’ll be fixing those before making a second helmet set, Next time, I’ll use some kind of mold for the visor for a more straight look



Real hockey chin strap, real car fuze, real slide switch, and imitation microphone, which I did with the small diameter aquarium tubing and some thin wire I’ve found around,



The tip of the microphone, all I did was to submerge the tip in silver paint. Note to self: next time, I’ll use ACRYLIC PAINT, instead of the Testors brand enamel.




All I have to add is the padding inside, and add the crossing strap to the chin strap, just to make it look like the one used on military helmets. I hope you like it. If anyone’s interested, I’ll be fixing the molds soon after Dragon*Con, and offer them once I’m happy with the results.

Wow! That looks great! I'd be crying too if I had such a sweet costume.
