Looks very good, pal!
Looks brand new, fantastically well done
appreciate the kind words my friend 
Only kidding pal 
Mine's a full English on Saturday by the way! 
Every time I open this thread and Averone's, I cry a little inside out of jealousy
Truly amazing work Andy! You're inspiring me to get my hands dirty and learn a little something for myself! So I'll be working on HT pink panty syndrome
I used to feel the same way when I looked through Alex's thread and saw those amazing Iron Man goodies when I first started collecting 2 years ago 
so its a nice feeling to be mentioned along side Alex and also reminds me how far I've come in this hobby despite only ever hearing about Sideshow back in early 2012 
Man, what i'd do to go back to 2006!!! I know i'd be a lot poorer that's for sure! Ha! thanks for the kind words pal. You'd be surprised but the actual sanding, filling and primering are the parts that take the least amount of time. Its when you come to applying the fresh coats of colour that it gets a bit time consuming as you have to allow everything to dry before you add each coat, etc...Okay guys, firstly thanks so much for all your great comments and kind words...really is amazing to have such support and to know so many great guys
My second update shows some progress on the arm repair which was the original break on this piece when I first purchased it. Again, same as the repair on the legs I had to re-attach the arm to the body and then go about sanding the crack line until smooth and then add the polyfill to cover the cracks. Once all smooth I could then apply the primer and prepare for the paint apps.
Her are some early progress shots
Great work again on the repair Rob
You certainly have a knack for this kind of thing. Looking forward to seeing it all completed. No guesses that you'll be ordering the new Iron Man 1:2 Maquette tomorrow! The pics do look great though, congrats
WOW!
yea, today's the day for pre order! I've gotta funny feeling that my mrs will be gifting me half the funds for it as a Christmas prezzie 
bless her, she did the same with my Wolverine LSF this year in May for my birthday 
Just a quick update on a small repair i'm working on. I purchased a comic Thor PF headsculpt in damaged condition over on the SF for around $30 and decided to attempt to repair the damage...As you can see from the pics, the break in the helmet was apparently a common one when this PF first shipped out.
So as you can see, i'm attempting to resculpt/reshape with putty, the broken area. Still have to smooth the area and then repaint and apply laquer to it but you get the idea. Nothing major in terms of scale but thought i'd share it with you all
i now know were to send my broken collectibles 
One word PERFECT!
another good repair job Andy
nice job
Talking of which, you do know that I have the regular and the exclusive of this PF don't you? And one has to go...
