Hasbro Ironman 2 War Machine (Re-Imagined)

Update!

Jeez...how hard it is for me to update nowadays...hahahah...

Okay, so a little while ago (make that a few years) I was given by a friend an extra War Machine figure. Since it was an extra, I did it up into the milk version...if you all remembered it, here's the link:

War Machine (Milk version)

I tried to sell it in the local market, but apparently nobody seemed to be interested (unless it was a Hot Toys figure...). So after some time, I stripped off the paint and planned to make another color scheme.

That was many months ago before my little Audrey was born.

Got back into painting after a long break and I need to finish up some Ironman figures. So I had to do some R&D in getting the right colors and I sort of stumbled upon this new color.

Getting inspiration, I remembered the War Machine that I was working on. The idea behind it now was a 'What if...' situation.

What if Tony Stark actually made the War Machine armour for himself?

This is your answer...

Yup...I think he looks pretty good, but I'm upset that the camera didn't manage to capture his 'true' colors like this:

Known as Candy Red with a base coat of gold and black. Might plan to sell it, but still pondering on that. Heh.

Until next time then!

Ciao!

Hasbro Movie Ironman Mark 5 (Repaint)

Update!

Yeah...it's been awhile right? Actually I've done a few things, but I'm gonna lump it all in one posting. This one is a different story. You see, after the Ironman 2 movie I sought out as many of the figures that I could get. I was lucky to get the Mark 5 at one of our retail stores. But sadly, the paint applications on the figure was...horrible.

So I told myself, I'll fix this guy up.

I did.

I know that the movie version was more shiner and had the 'bling' effect. But as usual, me being the person I am...not that keen on bling...(that sorta rhymes doncha think? heh) So I gave it a much more down to earth color to it. Red as red as it can be and the silver on more of a humble side. Here's the finished work...

This is how he actually looked like...before the repaint.

Until another update!

(PS: This entry was backlogged for quite some time...and the project was started...erm...the same year as Ironman 2...you do the math...)

Hasbro Iron Monger (Ironman 1 Movie)

Update.

Looks like it's been awhile. I've been busy. Heh.

Alright, so what's my new posting all about? Actually it's another Ironman figure, but not just any figure...but the Iron Monger! Now this figure actually came out way back in 2008. This fella came with a gimmick, squeeze his legs and you'd get a punch/grab action with his torso turning. Erkh...

The color scheme was pretty bad, not at all like the movie version. I have one, yes...and I've done some 'modifications'...but that's another story...

So, I was contacted a couple of weeks back by someone who wanted to repaint his Iron Monger figure. I was hesitant to take the job, but I've been dabbling in some new techniques so I'd wanted to try it out. I took the job.

After some tinkering with the paints, mixing and testing on other surfaces I finally decided on the style I wanted to do. And within a short time (roughly a week...)...it was done...

Here it is...

Aaaaaaaaand...that's all folks, for now that is. Heh.

Hasbro 6" Ironman Mark 6 Stealth

Update!

Some guy sort of said to me that my repaints were not as good since 'people say' that I can't paint 'bling' or do the metallic style painting. What these people didn't know, I just chose NOT to do it. Why settle for what everybody is doing? But apparently, the decision to not play with 'bling' colors got some people trying to 'lowball' me and asking very ridicolously low prices for my repainted works...and that is really...*blip*...ouh...got censored...hahahaha...

Alright, so in trying to prove to this people...I took a Hasbro 6" Mark 6 figure and decided to make it...'bling. How so? By doing the stealth color version of Tony Stark's Ironman armour. Did some research on the color scheme and finally decided.

So here it is...in all it's 'bling' greatness!

And to further prove that it's 'bling'...snap some pics with flash!

Here's a repulsor blast for ya'...says Ironman to lowballers...heh

Alriteys...more to come in the following week! And don't forget to drop by RK Designs Facebook page to see more updates!

Hasbro 6" Ironman Mark 4 (beta version)

Update!

Yep, it looks like it's IRON-MADNESS at RK Studios!! Everything has gone IRON-ny...heh...

Alrite, now I had an extra Hasbro 6" Ironman 2 Mark 4 figure. This one is pretty neato since it has Tony Stark's head (in this case Robert Downey's) and is detachable. I was wondering what should I do with this guy and did a survey on what other custom colors or design I can do. Was thinking of going for a seriously heavy mod but then I decided to add a little modding and a nice gray color scheme. Now why gray?

I thought to myself, if Tony Stark developed the Mark 4, there was bound to be a 'beta' version. The trial armour. So that was the reasoning behind this suit's design and colors.

I added some silver to certain parts of the armour to create that prototype look meaning it's a halfway done armour, and slapped on some kotobukiya after market parts just to give some details.

Yeah. Now that's what I call IRON'ing out the design...heheheh. Till next time!
