Looking to hire a Robocop suit builder! Or buy one full!

[kitfox21187]

Hi everyone!
I've been a passing guest of the RoboCop Archive for a while, oogling the photos of people's collections, the in-depth discussions regarding the material and all the various works in progress, but it's only now that I've decided to jump in and get a piece of the action.

Plainly speaking, I'm hunting an original RoboCop suit, full build, start to finish, paint, the works y'know? Either that or a complete suit purchase of an existing build.

As a bit of a hobbyist myself, I made costumes of my own in the past but unfortunately, due to an accident a few years back and the resulting nerve damage, I no longer possess the steady hands (or some of their fingers, haha) to do the fine crafting work things like this would require. One of my big goals before that accident was to attempt my own RoboCop suit, but yeah...

I've since taken up other hobbies that are far more forgiving artistically (digital art!) but I'm still craving a RoboCop suit of my very own. I've heard names like Quagmire9 and Anticlaus tossed around, so I'm open to suggestions for creators who'd be willing to work one up for me and I'm completely prepared to pay for the project. My main goal for this suit is to participate in costumed fundraisers for people in similar situations as myself in which you can probably guess RoboCop would be a pretty apt visual metaphor. And maybe the occasional convention, purely to show off. I mean come on, it's freaking RoboCop!

Anyone willing to chime in or help get me in contact with any of the fine folks building these wonders, please shoot me a line or a PM or whatever, it's all good. And please, don't feel you need to tiptoe around my accident. I've come to terms with it a while ago.

Thanks a bunch everyone! Look forward to hearing from y'all!

Yeah, I saw that one, but according to a few people in other forum posts, it's garbage.
I mean, to me it looks alright, but I've learned to trust other people's input, especially around here where there are so many pros popping in and out.

yes it looks ok tome but at the end of the day its the only chance you will get of getting one then u can spend time doing it up, I was really lucky with mine that it was all done, some times you have to bite your lip and just do it, my suit was like this once and who I got it from spent time doing it up

Even the best Hansing suit will still have inaccuracies, some soft details, and be in dire need of a repaint. But they're also the only complete suits available. I think your best bet would be to wait for someone to sell their Hansing suit after already shoring it up... reinforcing the fiberglass, replacing the hinges, repainting, all that jazz.

But that could be next month, or it could be never. Here's hoping the new film will reignite interest enough to convince some to let go of their suits!

I would like to go with the eBay one, but as I wrote above, I'm a little lacking in the fine motor skills department lately. Time was once I'd have jumped at that suit and restored it myself, but now unfortunately I know that if it's not in the best condition, it's not gonna be best going to me.
Much rather someone who has the time and ability take it and make something of it.
I'm just gonna have to keep hunting for a fresh build. There are folks out there who do it and make a pretty penny off it, I just gotta find 'em I s'pose.

Oh and that is a lovely suit gez1967. You're a lucky guy!

Haha, only a year! That's definitely on the better end of the spectrum. I've got a buddy who was hunting his out and it's taken him two and a half so far and he's still not done. But he is a taaallll guy, so it's kinda hard too.

Id go with that ebay suit, looks good to me and much easier to add detail and get a body shop to spray it than start from scratch and they don't come up that often.
