The Official Mark 3 Iron Man 1:2 Scale Maquette with Pics

[jbinny]

let's just say this, are u willing to throw down 20k for a car that doesnt have a nice car finish and rough edges and dents. i sure in hell wouldn't

I'd pay 20k for a Porsche GT2 that isn't 100% pristine

i would pay $500 for the 1:2 if it wasn't 100%, wait it isn't.

Does anyone see Iron Child dropping in price or skyrocketing on the Ski-Bay...err....Ebay?

How about additional 1:2 pieces like Thor and Cap happening anytime soon...or even later?

My prediction......I will die one day.

I like to play it safe

That depends entirely upon the car. You can get about any car fixed nicely for about 10 grand. If the car is worth a lot more restored, it is worth it. However, in my mind, no NEW car should look as bad as this statue does. This paint job makes this a $350 statue, IMO. Really nice paint requires a lot of craftsmanship. It really is an art that requires very skilled labor and time. IF it was perfect, then this statue would we worth 2K. I expect a 2K statue like this to have Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maybach, Bugatti, or at least Aston Martin fit and finish. THOSE cars have fit and finish at the level of art. THIS statue is finished like a used car fixed with bondo, and sprayed at a one day paint shop. It's unacceptable, and CERTAINLY doesn't qualify as ART at THIS level of quality. Like I said when I saw the proto pics, I saw serious paint flaws, with major orange peel, and parts where it was painted too dry, like a misting effect. Maybe someone doesn't know how to paint things art the factory. FIRST, you paint the nooks and crannies, by giving them one complete coat. Then, you paint the rest of the piece. I could do a 6 times better job than this on paint.

I have to add just one thing....
The paint app on this is 10 times better than the proto!!

When did you ever see something like that from Sideshow!

I think we should not be so critical, they improved on the promise!

And one more thing!
Its sitting right in front of me! A perfect piece of art! Do you have one in front of you?

When you have yours, please tell me what you think then!
I think you will be extremely pleased!

One of the best Sideshow pieces ever!

 

[averone]

is that porsche yours averone?

 

[ecekat]

well!i thought it can be!

 

[Bubbles]

Sorry dude, theres no way i'd be extremley pleased with the statue if it had the same issues as INFECDEAD's after laying down over 2 grand. I'd be sending it straight back.
All power to you if you can over look the issues with flat spots etc etc but for that money I want perfection and if they can't supply that I won't buy it.
