Roli Always looked up to his favorite sci-fi robot, the DRD from farscape, they make friends with the passengers, help in a pinch and repair the ship! Good robot! So Roli is getting his very own DRD costume for Halloween and other surprises too.

LOL. Thanks for the smile. :D
Making Rolis Costume, my first rough casting didn’t have much details because the resin hardened too quickly and off gasses bubbles , but it will make a good costume for a robot right?! , first is some prep, sealing the fiberglass up with mod podge.
This is sort of an accident,but painted white the DRD reminds me of a DRD Skeleton! With all the little pots and such in it, I’m tempted to do a Dead DRD ! spppoooky...
Ok the Bone layer is painted and sealed over. Now I did a bloody meat layer.
Next I will either do another red, or maybe a brown or grey before the top yellow layer and then black /brown weathering
I imagine I can lightly sand and scuff areas to indicate injuries, maybe like an undead DRD carcass
Well not sure how I feel about this, the texture lost some details of the mold overall, maybe I should have spray painted it instead.
I believe I will do one more coat of yellow and then move to weathering it with brown and black paint. After that I will start stripping away areas that are injured for the undead effect.
Ok so what’s everyone’s opinions, is undead DRD too much as a Roli costume shell?
White is supposed to be bone, Red is meat and yellow is the drds shell/skin.
Ok I cleaned up some of the cracked from drying it too fast under a fan, and did a little more battle damage and I think it is sufficiently dead
Great for Halloween. You're going to have to take it out trick or treating.
I need to make a little treat bag for him and drive him around :)
:P
I like it! Maybe some dragging wires for effect?
Suggestion Taken Professor E!
Wires added in a way that is consistent with the original DRD on the Leviathan and I also made it look like it’s little claw got ripped off.
The undead have super strength and bent my spindle trying to cut it, It was new too! sppppooky
Ok Undead DRD has Eyes and a eerie glow now.
I used 5 16 gauge wires and put them into a power drill to twist them together. This made a cheap bendy skeleton for the eye stalks. The bounce around appropriately and are pose able. I used 12 volt eagle eyes for the eye pods, 8 volts makes them glow just enough and does not use much current at all.
Ok so all the lights are in, body is done , and it’s on the Roli Base
I just submitted undead DRD to the Robot Halloween Costume Challenge! I tried a couple times so hopefully it went through. It has been a lot of hours on this project , but it was fun. Tommorow I will bring it to work to show my team, most of them don’t watch social media much so they are interested to see how it turned out. One picture doesn’t do it justice.
It looks great! Nice work Josh!
Your entry went through successfully. Thanks for submitting! The final result looks fantastic.
Thankyou Jeremie and Professor E!
This project just popped up, and reminded me that I really want to finish the DRD project that Josh made the parts for and sent to me.
I'm going to start putting more energy into this project, Josh made an amazing chassis and I really want a DRD in my collection.
Over the years I've learned a few different building techniques that will lend well to this project.
