Action Figure Turned my regular Mark VII into battle damaged prototype. (PICS TEASING MY DIORAMA!)

After weeks and weeks of planning, airbrushing, painting, building, soldering and so many other things I am ecstatic to be able to show you two things.

First of all, I am showing you pictures of my regular Iron Man Mark VII which I turned into the battle damaged prototype. It took many more hours of airbrushing, weathering and painting than I had expected. But I am happy with the results. And thanks to Username for setting me up with the right neck.

Secondly, I am showing pictures of this figure as it is placed in part of my Iron Man diorama, which is almost complete. Once it is totally finished, I will show you more pictures in a new thread in a couple of weeks time.

I cannot wait to hear what you guys think. Please leave any and all feedback.

Looks good man. Good job.

That is AMAZING! Fantastic work.

Very nice indeed! Well done that man.

Really nice! Better than stock one

Excellent! Makes my BD MK7 look a little bland in comparison.

Looks good

Glad Tony didn't get his hair messed up in the battle

Awesome job!

That looks absolutely INCREDIBLE! Excellent work!

Thanks, I was really upset when I saw the actual figure and bland is exactly the word that described it. In retrospect, I am glad, because it pushed me into this cool customizing work, which I love!

Thanks and yeah, I am very pleased with the neck. I never would've found a fitting neck myself.

Amazing job! Wish Hot Toys would make battle damaged this good.
