The MOOSE lives another day, thanks to the kit-bashing brains of Weta Workshop; the crew who designed and built the original film prop.Recreate CHAPPiE’s iconic attack robot piece by piece or use your model-maker’s eye to bash together something totally new. Grab the glue and get building.

In Neill Blomkamp’s cult sci-fi action film CHAPPiE (2015), MOOSE is a heavy weapons machine, originally engineered as a Police Force aid. In addition to creating the full-sized robot, Weta Workshop produced a miniature MOOSE mech as a tabletop prop for the film. This 1:8 scale resin kit is based off the same 3D files used to produce the MOOSE miniature, allowing you to assemble your own film prop replica.

An intermediate level of model-making skill is required to assemble this kit. The scope of the model allows you to observe all the fine details, whilst the scale allows for easy painting. One thing is for certain: when completed, the shelf-presence of the robot promises to be immense.

Weta Workshop’s expert model maker Leonard Ellis is adamant “you don’t have to build what’s on the box.” The MOOSE resin kit was designed with modification in mind. The robot’s pose is fixed, but the rest is up to you. Scavenge parts to kit bash, customise the model with a coat of paint or decorate MOOSE like it appears in CHAPPiE using the decal sheet.

Instruction guide & MOOSE robot decal sheet included.

Please note: tools and materials to assemble the kit are not included with this purchase. Essential model-making tools include a hobby knife, hobby saw, pliers, files, sandpaper, CA glue (cyanoacrylate glue) and paint. Some preparation before assembly is required.
