Great pic! Is that the War Machine Maquette that you customised Andy? Looks great I really wish I had started out this hobby sooner cos the 2 Maquettes of War Machine and Iron Man would have been easy purchases. I've ordered the upcoming IP maquette from Sideshows new Iron Man 3 line so I hope that line is a success plus I've heard rumours over on the Marvel threads that Sideshow may also bring out a MKVII maquette at some point which will be cool

Seriously amazing Roberto, I'll check the rest of your shelve later but I'm sure it'll be awesome. Hope we can have more pics of the ''big guys'' soon.

Yes it is bro don't have it anymore though I sold it along with my MKVI Maquette last year. Ironically, I caught up with the guy who bought them from me on Facebook and he still loves them as much as he did when he first recieved which is nice to know infact, here are the pics he sent me

Looking forward to the upcoming Iron Man Maquettes/PF's

I understand you, but what extraordinary statue that your war machine 1/2

Thanks Darth...it's a beast isn't it lol!

They look great and nice to add your own special touches to it with the custom battle damage. My brain is racking as to why you ever sold these 2 statues in the first place I mean, your the biggest Iron Man fan I know

Yea, it was more of a thing out the blue to customise those Maquettes. I remember the end fight scene in Iron Man 2 where both the MKVI and War Machine armours get a beating and I wanted it to be a bit more accurate to that scene why did sell them? Good question...well, I guess looking back in hindsight it was probably a mistake but they have gone to a good home plus I did make a killing on them

RobertoBagg10's Display Thread *FIRST BUY OF 2014...AND YES, IT'S ANOTHER IRO...

Hey guys, well time for another update and like last year, Iron Man is the first purchase of the new year and its the MK42 from Iron Man 3 by Iron Studios Now originally I had this on pre order with a local retailer but decided to cancel the order due to the huge $670 price tag on it so when a fellow freak sold me their one for literally less than half the retail price, I wasn't about to turn it down! By the way, thank you Rob for a great transaction

So the feedback from fellow freaks on this piece wasn't all that great and I did take all this onboard before deciding to own one for myself...for example the majority of complaints were to do with the paint application such as sloppy paint work or wonky lines in some cases. However, my concern was with how different the colour scheme was between the original prototype and the final production piece. It appeared that they had cut corners and opted for a weaker, more yellow-greenish gold rather than the more neutral metallic gold shown on their proto and also the red seemed to be more brighter rather than a darker metallic red which is more accurate. Below I will show some examples of what I mean and how I intend to custom paint mine to hopefully look a bit closer to the proto as I possibly can.

So back to the statue...as I opened the box I was delighted to see that everything was immaculate and brand new! I liked the little extras that were included like the cool IM3 decals and certificate (even though it's in Brazilian) In my opinion, the base and statue for what it is, I'd say is definitely up there with Sideshow standards...the pose is fantastic and the base is just like an identical but samller replica of the one used at the beginning of the Iron Man 3 movie from where this pose was taken. The statue itself is a lot heavier that what I'd expected it to be and has a good feel to it but the best part of this piece is the light up features of both the statue and the base included are light up eyes, arc reactor, hand repulsor, one in the right foot and then the base...it really does look killer!

As for the reported flaws on this piece, i was happy to report no dodgy lines and the sloppy paint work was minimal with one or two areas of paint overlapping but as a whole, mine was one of the reasonable ones as it appeared that no one statue was the same. Here are some pics of mine:

So going back to my original concerns of the colour scheme, I have decided to have a go at repainting mine and to try at least get it closer to the proto as I possibly can...as soon as I have some WIP pics then of course i'll post them up for you all to see...here are the comparison pics to show you the vast difference between the proto and the production piece...

OMG if the I don't even like Iron man but if the Maquette had the right color and shading as this I would of bought it! It looks like it is from right out of the movie!

So going back to my original concerns of the colour scheme, I have decided to have a go at repainting mine and to try at least get it closer to the proto as I possibly can...as soon as I have some WIP pics then of course i'll post them up for you all to see...here are the comparison pics to show you the vast difference between the proto and the production piece...

If anyone can nail the color accuracy it's you Andy, and your Mark Vi Iron man Maquette is proof of that!
