Sweet. Of greater note is that you have been a member here for three and a half years and this is your first post?
Way to make a dramatic entrance!
been lurking mostly...............lol finally had something to say
Available this fall will be a NEW 18 inch Titan Hero Hulkbuster ladies and gents!
Sold as a Walmart Exclusive for $35.
The 18-inch Hulkbuster does offer one awesome feature that the 12-inch Titan Heroes don’t. The front of the giant suit of armor opens up allowing you to stick most of the smaller figures inside. Which means you can put Iron Man at the controls, Thor, Captain America, or even the Hulk if you wanted to create some sort of unstoppable smashing machine that would probably level the entire country.
A hot toys iron man doesn't fit in the 18" hasbro, I've tried but the front doesn't close when he's in there, shame!Have anyone tried putting a Hot Toys Iron man in there? Does it fit?
It would be cool to pose an HT figures sort of climbing out of the HulkBuster, like that one Xm Studio statue concept.

What types of clear coat has everyone used on this?
I have rust oleum clear gloss, haven't tried it yet, because I haven't finished painting it
But was just curious as to what others have used?
I'll personally like the glossy finishes.
I've not used that one, but the one i have(An automotive product), works fine. A few light coats gives a light gloss, and doing several coats gives a nice reflective surface. If you intend to keep the BD paintwork, You might want to cut some tiny scraps of masking tape to cover the BD(All in random shapes, really small with irregular edges). You apply those over the silver paint parts, and spray the clear over it. When you are eventually done with the clear, you remove those parts and the silver(and surrounding red paint) has no gloss on it, like the gloss was worn through before the paintwork got scratched.
And when i say small scraps, i mean small. Like as a small as a sesame seed, but with sharp edges(So you can maybe apply a few over a large piece of battle damage paintwork, to give a ragged shape without gloss.
If that makes sense.
Woah! I never thought to do that, but that does make sense for the overall look.
Yeah I'll be keeping the battle damage I think it really adds to the realism and gives it a real bad a55 look
So the masking tape trick is definitely something for me to consider. Thanks again dude
