Revoltech Ironman Mark 2 Repaint

Update!

Another Ironman project. This time around it's the Revoltech Ironman Mark 2. Yep. The one with blings. Okay, now don't get me wrong...I kinda like the paintjob but it was a bit sticky. Yes. I'm not sure why, and too much 'bling' wasn't really my strong suit...(pun intended...heh).

So, just a few days old...I warmed up the ol' trusty airbrush 'Betsy' (now...I named my compressor based on the hawt X-Man Psylocke...but I could have just called it that right? hmmm...oh well) and primed the sucker! Once primed, I sprayed a nice coat of gloss black and finally applied my mixture of silver. Now the silver that I used isn't the super gloss metallic look...I dimmed it down a bit. Reason? Preference. heh.

Not sure about everybody else, but I kinda like the end product. And another good thing, the dust won't stick on this guy as it would on the original paintjob. Heh.

Hot Toys Ironman Mark 3: Prototype

Update!

Okay here's something that took me a bit to finish. Took a break from my commissioned works to do something a bit different. Yep. And it's been awhile since I actually took a job which is a figure. And not just any figure, a Hot Toys figure.

Now, most Hot Toys collectors know that the Ironman Mark 3 has some flaws in terms of the abdominal area. The colors seem to slowly fade and leaving it a little pinkish...yep.

So I got in my hands one of the earliest Ironman incarnation from the fabulous 1/6 figure makers, Hot Toys. Seeing a sample project that they did (a limited edition figure) called the secret project, I decided to color this Mark 3 following the scheme.

I opt for a more brighter gray than the Hot Toys version. Here is the fella before:

And here is the after the repaint:

6 Inch Ironman 2 Mark VI repaint

Update!

I've got piles of work that needs to be finished before I go for my holidays. Talk about a busy month. Thankfully I've got really understanding customers, so..thanks a bunch guys..

Recently I managed to get my hands on some 6 inch Ironman 2 figures. When the toys came out in the 3 inch series I was totally not interested. Didn't even plan to get any...until I found out they came out in 6 inches...

So with my lovely wife getting me a War Machine, I had to have the Mark 6. The details and mold itself was fantastic. But as usual, I didn't really like the colors. I know the Mark 6 is an upgrade, but the color scheme seemed incomplete (to me that is).

I preferred the Mark III scheme, so after playing with the figure for awhile...I got him into the studio to be repainted. Following the Mark III scheme and used a different kind of red. First I started with the priming, making sure I got all of the areas then later applied a silver as the base coat. Then applied gloss red to bring up the beautiful shine and later applied metallic red, then did some heavy masking and applied the gold. Added some panel linings and touched up some gold areas via hand brushing. Once done, I applied two layers of gloss coat for the finishing...

And yes. I was happy after that. When put next to War Machine, they are matched. Heh...

Peace out!

Ironman Mark II (Ironman Movie Series)

Update!

Before I post anything else related to Transformers, here's an interlude. Recently the Ironman movie came to cinemas and got me by the nuts (it was awesome!!). At first not intending to buy the figure, I caved in and grabbed the first few from wave one series.

I was a bit skeptical about getting the Mark 2 since it was just a repaint from the Mark 3 armour. But then I thought, "Why not I improvise? Make it more or less like the movie version but at the same time giving a bit of a touch of my own design?". So I added some details on the armour and repainted it to silver (I still haven't discovered the secrets to doing chrome...) and did some lining using my trusty Gundam markers.

Here is how he looks.

Close up:

Well, I'm a little not satisfied with the work, but it is better than the Hasbro version right? So consider this 'Mark II' version 1.0 from RK Designs.

Cheers!
