well, i didnt want to post this when i started out with this build because frankly, im a little fed up with the load of iron man we have here. i wanted to make it for myself, and not post another of these endless threads.
the thing that changed my mind was, that i usually am really bad at painting. i **** up all the time.
well, until now. i actually did a paint job that i am proud of, with really cheap paints too. so, this is why im posting.
i especially like how the brushed metal look and weathered look turned out
i would finish my paintjob this weekend, but the problem is, that the shop ran out of paint, and it takes about 10 days for them to get the new ones...
(funny thing is, i started out with the molotov brand red color, bought one can to try it out. the color was good, alltho i wasnt happy with the spray can in general. so i went back to get more cans, and they were out.
After some deciding, i switched to montana gold brand, and also bought one can, to test if it matched up.
Well it did, and it was a much better result than with the other can. So i went back again, and wanted to buy more of it, just to find that there was only one can left. well, now i have to wait for them to restock, as i cant continue otherwise...)
the whole suit is gonna be painted for heavy wear and damage, because lets face it, the only time tonys armor ever is clean, is right after he built it and before he ever takes it out for a test drive
so, enough talk, more pichers! (just to say, these were taken today and it was allready getting dark when i took those, so they dont quite do it justice, but i still think they give the idea. the cod is the only thing fully finished, all the rest still needs the wear and battle damage)
