Featured in an interview with PingMag, Japanese Ironsmith Kogoro Kurata has created a 1:1 scale Votoms Scopedog out of iron. Thank you Bryanarchy for posting this article!
And how did you get from there to something like the giant ScopeDog robot?
ScopeDog is originally from an ’80s cartoon called Votoms, although it wasn’t a show I really watched. As a kid, I had made a plastic model of the ScopeDog robot and was just really attracted to the design and aesthetic. I wanted to make it to have more content for my website and blog but I think I really just wanted to prove to people that you can make huge things using iron. It ended up taking a year, and in the middle of it all I broke a bone working on it. It would have actually taken six months if I hadn’t gotten injured…
