Good luck in finding someone to guide you through this. Maybe you could contact the creator of the video to advise you.

I was fiddling with my original mark 3 and I've somewhat "moved" the midsection a few centimeters. I don't want to force it more than I have to for fear of breaking it but I think there is a midsection "cut" for articulation under there.

Has anyone already disassembled this figure just to see the ab part? I'm really curious to see what's under it.

 

[toyrewind]

anyone? looks like majority already sold their original mark 3 for the BD.

Just a little experimenting with the camera. The flare is real in camera, but totaly accidental.

Wow, great shots.

 

[zabana]

Very nice shots, hope to have enough money to buy one someday...

I've been fixing up the finish on the armour as well as adding black weathering and detailed soot marks like the Iron Man Kotobukiya. Just not as prominent black marks between all the joins. I didn't want to go overboard.

I felt it was far too clean and pristine that I had to weather it up slightly so it's not battle damaged but it's not absolutely perfect either. As if he's been out a few times without any serious action.

Sadly the camera isn't picking up the subtle details apart from the sheen on the bodywork.

With your own eyes it looks less of a toy and more like a collectible like the Battle Damaged version. I always felt it had a cheap light plastic look and texture to it.

 

[toyrewind]

Can't see much detail here. Dunno if my LCD monitor is too dark or the photos are really dark. Btw, how did you apply the weathering?

 

[vodoun]

Quick shots trying to capture it. See it now?

Ouch, a-dev. Look what has happened to this poor fella's Mark III that was posted on Facebook. The rubber waist has finally ruined itself.

This was exposed to the sun too long, right? Hope someone thinks of a fix for this. Would a repaint be possible? Or maybe cast a mold of the torso rubber part to plastic? Then we could disassemble the body to replace the fading rubber with the plastic one.

I see what you're trying to accomplish. This guy pulled it off very well. Been thinking about sending him mine to do the same.-

That is damn good!

 

[dragontron]

Yeah, it is, the only thing that I caught that is off are the pins around the arc-reactor. He painted them red, and forgot to detail them silver.
