wow very nice weathering and molded pieces! , are you planning on selling some of your casts? your build is making me want to detour from foam and do a fiberglass build again haha

Absolutely spot on! FANTASTIC!
Do you think someone with no experience in the paiting department could achieve a paint scheme like yours?

hiya deric,thanks mate,i wouldn't try with rattle cans due to the fact as the pressure drops the paint flow becomes a little inconsistent and can create patchiness.but with a spraygun and a lot of patience although tricky 'yes'.putting the silver base on from a gun aint an issue,when it comes to putting the candy on overlap evenly n keep a pen n paper handy to mark down the amount of coats applied to each piece to keep a consistent colour.

thanks steve,the weathering is black stove polish brushed into grooves with a fine brush,left over night then polished off leaving a metallic black finish.the worn areas are silver acrylic or silver rub n buff.the great thing about grate polish or rub n buff are if you over do it ,you can just wipe it off with a drop of panel wipe.
your more than welcome to pop by:thumbsupgive me a few weeks then there'll be more to look at.:lol lol


little update:pics as promised

did a waste mold of original chest wasn't happy with a few bits after the finished arms.it was too flat faced,arc recess area not right,etc.(me being to picky:lol)all critique welcome
pulled a urethane cast from the mold then done a bit of tweaking curves etc.need to get the primer flatted, then time to get the molds made for chest n back then cast

thanks,n just remember the nxt set made has yr name on it.lol:lol

Great work on the new chest. You are one talented person. :eek

thanks vshore,talented?a little mad:thumbsup


right,
a little more done.
chest is finally done,did the final clean up,created the ring around the arc with sintra rubbed it to within a mm of its life,n added a few details.
back had to be removed from the old chest,a couple of locating tabs added at the sides,then the details added to each side what id previously missed,seemed a shame to have to primer it again but needs must.
nxt job on cards is to get the molds made:thumbsup
sun was out so i took some more shots of 1 of the arms outdoors,as i dont think the previous pics really did them any justice.im really happy with them,dont think theyd look out of place on mr downey:lol

Re: Iron man mk4 (wip) fingaz chest back ready for molding

Stone me, that's a hell of paintjob mate. Great looking chest piece too, I'm impressed!

PM on it's way over.
 
Re: Iron man mk4 (wip) fingaz chest back ready for molding

HOLY $#!^ !!! I was like wow, and then my chin hit the desk!

Looking at the back, I see some spots I need to fix on mine, and I absolutely love the paint job!

Just a weird question, but how much would it cost to achieve the same paint scheme....
I'm nearing the time when I would like to start painting mine and if its possible I would love to have the professional look yours has.

Hats off to your marvelous work!
