    Hi all,

    Not sure if any Robocop fans here but thought I’d share one of the first weathered pieces I ever done ;)  I’m a big fan of the original film and especially Ed-209

    I managed to pick up a loose Hot Toys 2nd edition ED-209 (Hot Toys : RoboCop - ED-209 1/6th scale collectible) very cheaply one time since it was pretty banged up, anyway instead of restoring it, I went the other direction instead and thus began my love of weathering and all things dirty :D 

    Hope you guys like it

    As NemesisJazz said, it’s a must watch! For a film over 30 years old, it’s still so watchable today! :cool: 

    thanks man!

    Haha thanks officer Murphy :D 

    thanks! Man I wish I could pick up a cheap Hot Toys Robo, haven’t seen any floating about!

    haha thanks bro! :rock 

    nice website u got there!

    Btw I wanted to ask what are u using to seal everything once you finished your models?

    tbh I’ve never been sure what’s the best way to protect them after, any ideas? :D

    oh ha u mean something from like Halfords or something? :D 

    Haha the rust I’ve always been using the same AK rust streak paint for all my projects

    Buy Rust Streaks online for 3.50€ | AK Interactive

    And technique wise it’s just still brushing and using thinner to do fades, nothing special :p 

    ..just brought a new loose transformer figure today on the cheap...Gonna start on my new project :cool:
