    He Lives! He Walks! He Conquers!! Who is Iron Man?!?


    New swipe at Iron Man, built up on an Urban Icons body with lots of craft foam, pvc irrigation parts, a couple spare parts, head with light up eyes from a Terminator figure resculpted. Chest and hand lights are balloon lights. Painted by me and colored with pastels.





    I'm imagining Stark used some junk parts from his race cars for the suit so the sponsor decals are left from that.

      I like it. It has a bit of an Iron Giant vibe to it. And the light up features are very cool!

                    wow great paint job!!
                    and I love how you distress craft foam!
                    do you do that after you build the fig or before?

                        After its on the figure, gouge it with scissors, screwdrivers or whatever and then drybrush paint it to bring up the damage.

                              Sometimes people do a radical redesign on a character like this and I don't think it works. But here, all the inspiration is so genuine and pure that it just radiates charm and originality. Truly a great job!
