Thank you kindly!! It was a super fun project! 😃 Merry Christmas!

I'm printing a Chainsaw Man helmet. Frankly Built has a great build video for it.

The best advice I can give anybody is to watch Chris Bosh Props' tutorial videos. Three years ago I didn't know anything about building a Robo suit, but after watching his channel I gained the confidence to give it a shot and I'm happy I did!

Thanks

Thanks for your interest! Unfortunately, I'm not prepared to take on any Robo commission work. The pieces are very time consuming and I'm currently working on another fun cosplay project.

I just realized I remember you physically because I saw that Tony Stark mustache and gotee and that is when I remembered you from the comic con I said to you that you look exactly like Tony Stark from the comics

Do you remember me now

I think I missed that one! Wish I'd been!

So glad you like them! I had a blast making them!

Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, I'm not prepared to make additional pieces of the suit for sale. I've moved on to other fun and exciting projects!

You're so right about that! 😂

Thanks buddy! Having worn a Robo suit a couple times now, I really appreciate the work Peter put into making his performance one of a kind! It's not easy!

Thank you!

Glad you like it!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! It feels fairly light at first, but 3 hours later it feels like a hundred pounds!

Thanks!

Right?!? A huge chunk of the work goes into making the soft parts, but without them, the suit is basically unwearable! Thanks for the comment!

Thank you! Sounds like you're having trouble with the scaling? There are some great tutorials on RUclips which will help with that. Also, I highly recommend watching all the Robo tutorials on Chris Bosh Props' channel because he covers the entire build in great detail (I wouldn't have been brave enough to tackle this challenge if it weren't for his videos). I used 3D Builder for most of my basic mods, Fusion 360 for a few of the more complex mods, and you can also scale your pieces within Cura and other slicers too.

Thank you!

@russoj277 welcome

Thank you!

The sacrifices we make for our craft!

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Thanks! And you're right... they were some very long prints! I should add up all the hours some time.

Thanks! Your enthusiasm helps make it all worthwhile!

😅

Do you think you can make those gloves for me for my suit ? If not it’s ok

To be honest, I worked on this project off and on for about 2 years, and there's just one part of the build that was the most frustrating pull-my-hair-out why-do-the-cosplay-gods-hate-me pieces... the gloves! I tried and tried and could never duplicate Chris Bosh Props' results. I blew threw so much Smooth-On material and finally just ended up casting each finger separately from the palm. It works, but I have to paint my fingers black otherwise you can see my skin between the gaps in the rubber fingers. Super annoying.

@@russoj277wow but thx anyway

Thanks!

😁

Thank you!

Thanks!

Ever thought about making one? Either 3D printed, or EVA foam?

Thanks! I try not to think about how many hours this project took!

@ 😂

Right!?! Way cheaper than back when I purchased them!

🤣

That would have been epic!

I hoped you wouldn't notice that! Haha. Those clips were taken after about 3 hours in the suit, the majority of which I spent in a huge line waiting for the judges booth. Robo suits are notoriously uncomfortable and I was exhausted by that point. My "Robo walk" is better with a fresh set of legs, but nobody will ever compare to the great Peter Weller! Plus the sound FXs really enhance his epic performance.

@@russoj277 Ah i get ya, my comment wasn't a dis by the way. Just after seeing you make the parts from rubber, it seemed odd the walk appeared a little stiff. Having worn Stormtrooper armour myself which is rigid plastic, i was trying to understand how that seemed more restrictive in the clip. I didn't take into account the possible length of time it had been worn already in that clip. Fair play on the dedication to making whole suit by the way.

Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I've never worn a storm trooper costume but always wondered how it would be.

@@russoj277 Certain not made for stairs lol

True story!

I share the same frustration. The silver base is pretty much the same as Chris' but I ran out of time before Deadweird so I had to cut two major corners during the final week of the build: 1) I didn't spend nearly enough time sanding the suit with fine grit sandpaper, and 2) I attempted a color shift pearl in the clear coat (blue-to-purple) applied via HVLP spray gun rather than airbrushing the blues and purples by hand like Chris did. Although there is some color shift (it's kinda neat in the right lighting conditions), it's nowhere near the intensity I hoped for and basically disappeared under the dim lights at the event. I literally finished the suit the morning of the event, so I was stuck with what I had. I may circle back someday and rework the color to resemble Robo 1 or 2 (tbd). If I can get close to the look of Chris' suit, I'd be thrilled.

Right?!? The event was so loud, nobody could even here the stomping sounds, servo FX, and movie quotes I had playing. If I could go back, I'd probably skip the electronics altogether. Wasn't worth it for the amount of effort I put in.

True story! Thanks for the comment.

I wish I had a better answer for you. Last year I sold a couple torsos and neck pieces to use up the remaining Smooth-On materials before they expired. I found that with the amount of labor involved in the process, plus the shipping inconvenience associated with a piece the size of a 1-part torso, it's hard to find a price point that makes it worth doing.

Thank you!

Much appreciated!

Thanks!

Thank you! Nobody will ever say these suits are "comfortable", but using a rubber torso and neck piece is a game changer when it comes to wearability!

@russoj277 yeah I bet

@@Kids_Scissors I wish you would take commissions for them because those of us who would pay you would make your videos better that way tell me I'm wrong

It was certainly a labor of love, with a few moments of frustration and anxiety. Overall a super fun experience!

Thank you!

Much appreciated. It was no small task!

Thank you!
