Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Suit-Up Gantry with and w/o Mk IV

[Centurion]

thanks dude!

yeah it actually is, good eye. I snagged it from my parents when they upgraded their surround sound.

The speaker is at least +15 yrs old, but it still sounds pretty good for what I need

Even after 15 years, that speaker sounds better than most of the bookshelf speakers they sell today.

The real kicker is, you said your parents upgraded. They must have an awesome home theater audio system.

Some sharing of my idea. Gantry floor base

 

[Centurion]

Very cool!

The Mk.II looks like he's tip-toeing across thin ice.

Awesome idea! I like the bases, are you planning on making any?

 

[IronManny]

I will buy one (or three)!

 

[Centurion]

Very nice idea.
Looks good.

I am thinking about it. It's done now(With the possible exception of scribing more panels), so i could make a mould today or tomorrow and be cranking them out by tuesday or wednesday. It toally depends on how many people want one.

I will buy one (or three)!

That's good to hear. Maybe i will make that mould after all...

Very nice idea.

Thanks a lot guys. As it is now, it's merely black styrene with all the lines scribed on it.
If i ran a wash of white paint into the lines, it would REALLY pop.
Here's a question to anyone reading who *might* be interested in buying one:
Would you prefer the resin replica unpainted? Or would you prefer it finished and ready to display?
If you can paint it yourself, it will be cheaper to buy it unpainted.
If you want it painted, it will be more expensive.
I have a thread about it in the customs section if anyone wants to see more pics:

I should have my this or next month. But I would if I was to buy kne(IF) it would need to be painted.

I just got back into modeling. I have everything I need just not the skills.

I understand.
I usually cast in a pale yellowish resin and at the thickness of this piece(The sheet i scribed the panels from is only 2mm thick), it will be easy to paint.
A black flat primer would do the business. As for a wash of white, it's just a small amount of white paint mixed with thinners. Really easy to do.
I am toying with painting one, scribing the panels back out(And in so doing, removing the black paint from the lines), so i can light it up from below. That should look the business.

What's a good price for just the body only?

What's a good price for just the body only?

That's a loaded question. Depends on how bad you want it? I have seen this one selling for $220/$250.

What's a good price for just the body only?

Are you looking to buy or sell?

 

[johnnypaul]

Buy, I was wondering if $240 was a decent price for it or not.

Sounds like a good deal. Does that include shipping?
