    Iron Man

    I reworked my Iron Man to fit in with the style of the Cap I recently did. My initial idea was Commando Cody meets Tony Stark. The original IM helmet always reminded me of Cody's from Radar Men from the Moon. I tried to do a sort of transition armor from the clunky grey/gold armor to the red and gold version. So I figured some of the weapons and add ons are new and not fully integrated into the suit yet. That's why there are visible control wires running to the boot jets and the gloves. I also figured Stark would use the armor to field test other devices like the rocket pack and the big zap gun. His belt is carrying spare power packs and tools for repairs, and he also has a control pad device in the leg pouch. Head is Leitner and the chest armor is from a Megaman Vinyl figure.

    Here's the newsreel photo



    and a few color pics






    And my first two Avengers in the retro style.

          I'm not a big IM fan, but I love the classic look, and you've really captured it well.

              Wow, that is stunning! I could see Marvel using this in one of their "retro" serieslike Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Fantastic!!!

                          In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.
