The first batch of pics are just to show you why I needed more ferrous anchor points for the gantry arms, the existing positions are all too low to be used by themselves. I made more by using some thin sheet steel that I had cut off a guitar rack to make one of my gun racks, then after some filing and bending super glued them in place. I've now got clear nail varnish drying on the original arms I converted to be articulated as they were a bit loose due to the heavy resin they are made from. All the arms are interchangeable of course due to the magnet system.

Oh, wow! I have to admit, when you mentioned the robotic arms you were attaching, I had no idea what you were talking about. It's been absolutely YEARS since I saw the first Iron Man films, and I only saw one Avengers movie way back when it first came out. So I really couldn't picture what you meant. But now I get it -- and it looks excellent! Smile

Thanks guys!! SWS: yeah it's kind of like a roiling sea of arms and annular armatures that convolute and spin around him as he walks, taking off bits of armour and storing it under the retracting floor as he strides down the landing platform on STARK Tower whilst talking to JARVIS as he goes.

I've now attached his left arm and hand properly also cut up and dremelled the armoured arm turning it into separate pieces to be held by the many arms which will hold his helmet parts and chest plate too;now I just need to work out how to do all that! Wink

You should set all this at one end of a scene, and at the other you should put Dr Strange grooming himself with all of his extra hands and arms. Smile

That looks brilliant!

Sorry if I've been a bit AWOL of late. I've been playing around with the driving game Assetto Corsa and all the modding you can do with it. So much fun and frustration in equal measure.

CHEERS!

I don't have a Doctor Strange figure sadly, been thinking about getting the latest/2nd version but don't know where he would fit in, perhaps with my Asguard characters? Nice idea though!

That would be cool. I can imagine one hand holding a toothbush and another holding a beard trimmer and another holding a comb and another holding some hairspray...

Thank you!

I've been doing detail work on the loose armour pieces for the gantry arms and partially rebuilding bits so they will appear to be removed as units (or he would be standing there all day!), I also went through my draws of electronics parts and picked some nice decorative bits to add to the insides of the removed armour to show some tech details. I also modded his left shoulder socket to accept the HT spare MKVI arm (the figure came with two complete left arms, one BD, one clean) which will mean modding my custom left arm to fit as well now (I blame you Mark for suggesting I do a set of progression pics of armour removal Wink hence all the extra parts pictured). Just need to work on the floor panels, paint them and the steps and make a transparent stand/pole for him next.

LOL, interesting grammar there! Wink Laughing The extra work will be in the photo shoot but will be nice if I can pull it off! Worth the effort.

I think I've done everything except enlarge the ball socket on the unarmoured arm but I'll do that mid photo shoot. I filed all the base parts and cut them to size, glued them open, painted the base plate and steps black after dremelling a hole for the custom clear stand I made. All the detail work on the insides of the loose armour parts has been finished, I made the vented 'foils' for the air flaps on his back. I drilled new holes to fit the HT undamaged chest plate for the pics, soldered the plug to the splitter wire. I've probably missed something but can't think of anything right now, got an appointment with the dentist in a couple of hours for quite a bit of work to be done so won't be in the mood to take finished thread photographs if past experiences are anything are to go by! Sorry! pale Wink  Just remembered! I need to make his little ear com device.

Boy the forum's a ghost town today! Is something going on I've missed? Dentist was a waste of time, got my foot stuck in a water filled pothole and fell flat on my face walking there, then they only saw me for ten minutes and told me to come back next week! Anyway.. made the ear piece as close to the movie version as I can, you only glimpse it but it's definitely white with black edging and a curvy shape attached to his right ear. Was a pain in the butt, the pieces kept shooting out of my hands as I tried to hacksaw and file them, then super glue was fun too! LOL. I need to make him a tumbler of whisky too.

Aw, that sounds like a bit of a rough and frustrating day. The earpiece looks really good though! Smile

And yeah, I know what you mean...the forum's been especially quiet for at least a couple of days now. People must be busy...

According to the BBC, British dentistry is diabolical, but even if that were true, the pothole ambush sounds like overkill. Your work, on the other hand, is flawless (now that the photos have finally loaded -- sorry, slow internet).

Thanks guys! Nice to see some activity on the forum, typically I'm going to bed now, been up since 1am my time. I would say the pavements are diabolical, the dentists just like to charge as many appointment fees as they can! Thank goodness for the NHS! Even if it does mean I'll have to go back next week (they know about my agoraphobia but still just booked me a 15min slot for 3 fillings, like that was going to happen).
Anyway.. redid his ear piece so it's much more accurate and positioned correctly now, also was a lot easier to make as I just used the off-cuts from the first one to make it Wink .

15 minutes for three fillings? Should be more like 45, if not more...

Yup! And to top it off, a previous filling of mine that had been fine before started hurting the next day due to the sonic cleaning, kind of ironic.

Thought I'd share my experiment of making a 1/6 tumbler of whisky and ice since many members like to have drinks as accessories for their figures in dios and skits etc.. I didn't use the glue gun in the end, I used the contact adhesive as the simulated whisky after mixing a blend of colours with markers on the inside of the clear plastic. Also so random pics of the dismantled helmet assembled for some reason.. no idea why!LOL.
