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

[JazzInc]

THANKS MAN! That really made my day. More pictures? I'll see what I can do....


And I hope you guys will forgive me, but a battle damaged on like that is on eBay right now. Handpainted and airbrushed just like this one, including the BD mark VII package (box, chitauri base, etc). I need to sell it to fund furthering my diorama. I think this one might be even closer to the picture of the movie:

Jazz did you paint a sweat effect on the sculpt?

Cool that you picked up on that! Yeah I redid the entire sculpt and powdered it down a little less, to get that sweaty effect

 

[JazzInc]

Ok, by popular demand, here are some more pictures! I look forward to your responses!

What is the mark 42?never seen that before

I was wondering when that question would come. It's a Kotobukiya mark 42, which I repainted a bit (will add some battle damage later). I bought a hot toys MMS191 platform on ebay and modded the figure and platform so it would stand on that. I hollowed out the leg and ran wire through it, so now the platform and the figure run off an AC adapter

One word only: BREATHTAKING!

Or should that be two? You get what I mean.

How the f did you manage to do that?!

that is so cool!!

LOL. Well, just like I wrote in the earlier post. I drilled out the straight leg with a large drill. Then I shaped the Pin on the other foot, so I could put it into a hole I drilled into the MMS 191 base. Then I soldered extra wire into the AC adapter socket and put in a pot meter so I could change the intensity of the light. And I soldered the other end onto the plug that fit into the figure. Finally, I drilled a very small hole into the 191 base right where the mark 42s heel goes, so I could run the wire from the base to the figure. Invisible and not all that difficult.

That takes skills! Really nicely done. If I attempted that I'd be left with a pile of red and gold rubble that used to be a Mark 42.

Which would still be movie accurate.

Got Jazz' awesome customized Mark VII BD today. Holy sheet, what a figure! That is one ***up armor!

Just inbox shots at the moment. Only had a couple of hours this afternoon and it got dark really quick (dumb seasons). I am afraid all of my crappy camera shots won't show the awesomeness that is this figure, coupled with flash in dark rooms but we will see tomorrow.

I am ashamed to admit I did a little dance after unpacking.
