Iron Man Mark II Maquette by Sideshow Collectibles

[Collectorcol]

Yes! As I said, should be more shiny/reflective.

So... Sideshow is missing the shinny no?

 

[Centurion]

I don't know what the deal is... even Hot Toys couldn't get it right.

I still think Raquel did a better job with the pose:

 

[Phoenixblazes]

If anyone is willing to risk it, you could try a simple spray from a clear gloss coat.

 

[Python]

Gloss doesn't really make non metallics look metallic though, it just makes them look wet. You could try buffing it to see if it will add a bit of shine, but if you want a true chrome look, a repaint is probably required. Although have we seen production pieces for this yet? The final finish might be better in hand, never say never..

 

[Collectorcol]

Never! There, I said it

 

[RobertoBagg10]

I'm gonna get mine chromed!!!

I was trying to give you all a bit of hope

I'm gonna get mine chromed!!!

if you do i would recommend grey chrome as apposed to the traditional chrome. it is a little bit less shinny and it kind of looks like a real metal finish.

Gotcha buddy brushed metallic look all the way

 

[Python]

You might want to consider more of an aluminum tone rather than chrome, I have no idea how to apply the brushed effect in a convincing manner though, that is above me for now. I am sure there are tutorials out there with plenty of methods however.

Fingers double crossed... but seems like that only you and I ordered this guy...

 

[traylorc]

Still on the fence of whether or not I am going to keep this or cancel. I find myself wishing there was more of a "chromed" look to this piece.

Depends how it turns out, I think most people have wised up to these IM pieces now and wait for in hand pictures. The price jumps started around the release of this one also which didn't help.

 

[Collectorcol]

This was always a wait and see.

The way things are going I'm expecting the MKIII, if ever released, to be $600-650.

 

[Python]

Hope not, that's the only one I want..
