Description Here's my take on the 'battle damaged' Iron Man after he gets shot out of the sky by the tank. He has his little rocket-launcher that can be attached to his arm too. I used a Prototype armor movie Iron Man figure for this figure and cracked him open, installing a really small LED system in his torso. It has a center sphere and inner ring glow when you have the chestplate off and then spreads out to a full glow when you pop the chest on! Also there's a dedicated on/off switch. I scuffed him up something terrible and gave him dust/splatter effects. Enjoy!

The painting is great, especially the little details like that soot/gunpowder wash, but what really brings the whole thing together is the lightshow on his chest.

An flat-top LED from a tap-light, styrene strip to make the battery case, and wires/switch parts from a dollar store toy.

This is awesome...mine light looks cheap compared to this one (might be)
how did you get his body open? I felt I was playing operation when I did mine cuz I had to pass two wires through the whole in the middle lol.it took me forever!

Jin-Saotome In reply to MrSXL [2008-05-06 01:58:47 +0000 UTC]

It was hard! Had to break the neck off literally and wedge a screwdriver down his throat to crack him open. It might be tough. I found heating the figure helps loosen the glue sometimes.

Jin-Saotome In reply to exparda [2008-05-06 02:01:21 +0000 UTC]

Random parts. I think part of a mini gundam pvc, some section of an XMC magneto 'shouldercam' and a top sliver of an Assassin droid laser cannon. I mean really, you could make it outta anything.

Dude, excellent work on this. It looks like he really came out of that scene in the Middle East after blowing up that tank! Clever use of the LED in the chest plate, too!

You know, now that I think about it... you ought to do a custom of *that guy* who showed up at the very end....
