Rickpadwick1801 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Hi Everyone, Here is one of my next projects : Moebius Models Iron Man Mark III I will be painting this kit with Tamiya Acrylic paints : Clear Red, Titanium Silver, Gold and Metallic Grey for the display stand Anyway here are the photos of the sprues. As you can see this kit has been primed already with Humbrol primer. I did this a few months ago when I was working on my Redbull RB8 kit. Progress photos once I have done some work on the kit.

Doug Rogers Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Looks great Rick, that clear red came out lovely didn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpadwick1801 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Looks great Rick, that clear red came out lovely didn't it. Cheers Doug, Yeah it did come out nice, especially as the whole thing was hairy stick painted. It took a couple of coats but the end result is worth it. Hopefully be able to finish the Iron Patriot over the next couple of days. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Nice job Rick, well done. That red really pops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpadwick1801 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Nice job Rick, well done. That red really pops. Thanks John, That was the kit after 2 coats of Tamiya Clear Red over Tamiya Chrome Silver. I will eventually be working on my Iron Patriot kit again, when I am not knackered after work.

cmatthewbacon Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 That does look great, Rick. I think its fascinating how many different ways there are of coming up with the "simple" red and gold colours! My only suggestion would be you might want to do something with the eyes bring the face "to life" a bit. On the "real thing" they glow like the arc reactor when the suit is "live". I suspect a bit of white paint or Tippex pen would do the trick... Nice addition to your shelf! bestest, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Looks great but I agree the eyes would look better with something in them. Personally Id love to see a dilute deep red wash over the whole model too but thats personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpadwick1801 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Cheers matt & skipy, When I'm up to doing some work on models, I will sort out putting some paint in the eyes..... Damn eye problems are stopping me from doing much of anything except reading and relaxing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
