Bitzer Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Out of my comfort zone, I wanted to build the Igor armor which I bought for 75% off. He was a fun build and went together well. I tried all different paints and couldn’t get the hands to dry non-tacky. I ended up painting them with a base of acrylic but after a few days with enamel over the top of the acrylic, they were tacky again. I don’t get it. Oh well. Our local hobby shop wants to display him in their case, but not after I take him to the IPMS meeting this month. The theme is Sci-Fi. The light for the arc reactor and eyes are made with LED’s and the concrete pieces are Styrofoam. I’m not very good at non water bases but I needed something of interest. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud4444 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 As a life long Iron Man fan I approve. Great work on the LEDs. I remember when they first premiered this suit as a run up to Iron Man 3. I truly thought it was the Hulk Buster, disappointed to find out it wasn't. To me it looks like a mixture of the original Iron Monger and Firepower from the old comics. Great looking suit.

Bitzer Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks Thud. I wasn't up on the different Man suits so I did some research. The Hulk Buster discussion came up frequently during my reading and the conclusion was that it is not. The only place I found you can see it in action is for about 2 seconds in the final fight during Iron Man 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Nice work.I can see why they want to display it. The lights and the display base are very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was a cool two seconds. It and the Heartbreaker suit were by far the coolest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooo, that would be a good one to get! No weathering allowed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitzer Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks Hunter. Of course he needed the arc reactor lit, and while I was at it, the eyes. The hands are solid rubber so it was too much work to put lights in those. Besides you really can't see them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
