Just a little side project while I wait for a new mini drill to continue with my PKA build... Got this HC Toys KO Iron Man MKVI (that's 6 Roger Wink ) to do some work on and mod for a 'removing' armour in/on the walking gantry that I hope to get this month as it's finally being released and made by TYS Toys, not HT. It's not articulated and superbly engineered like the smaller Kings Arms one but it is true 1/6 scale unlike the HT diecast MKVI deluxe edition dio stand.
The HC IM figure is okay, better than their MKXLII version proportion wise but still suffers from loose joints, rubbery plastic that's quite heavy and tends to fall apart. Nothing a bit of glue and paint won't fix except the neck needed some dremel work on the collar to fit properly. It very oddly comes with two pairs of wrist guards attached, the ones attached to the hands are actually War Machine's so I cut them off, cut the correct ones off the suit's 'cuffs' and glued those to the back of the hands instead. The hands are fully articulated but very cheaply pinned together (it's a £50 figure not £300+) and need some TLC with mini vicegrips.. The paint is incorrect, not enough gold and missing some silver (plenty of comparisson pics between it and my HT one below), some overspray and misalignment etc.. corrected some minor bits but needs the airbrush to be honest. The electrics all work fine but do bleed light as expected. Much of the leg engineering has been simplified or no longer is there like the calf flaps or spring loaded moving armour, likewise the chaff deployers are only sculpts that don't deploy.
I'll be mixing and matching some spare bits from my HT version (since he stays displayed in his battle damaged form fighting Whiplash with War Machine on my shelf) and adding magnets to bits so they can be held by the arms of the gantry once I get it. I'll also be modding the gantry a bit to make the arms articulated and probably make more of them too to hold more armour parts.

So cool. It's weird (remember I'm new, LOL) how rough the interiors are when contrasted to the finly finished exterior. LOL, I would take that away with me eh?

Are the battle damaged areas your artwork (didn't understand, sorry) Looks great!

Interesting presentation and comparisons. I'm glad I wasn't imagining things when I thought HC got some elements put in the wrong way. With the gauntlets (on probably other versions) I figured simply detaching and swapping the lower arms often corrected the wrong mounting -- but that only works if they supplied one of each (and again, perhaps it was more complicated on this version).

Thanks! The battle damage is the HT version which also turns into the 'clean' version by swapping out a lot of parts that come with the figure, can't take any credit for that work!LOL. The HC may end up slightly weathered when I'm done to hide some of it's casting flaws etc.. and I hate painting gold, one of the hardest colours to get a good finish with over a larger area. It's bit like painting chrome, the metal content of the paint is so high that it never seems to have enough adhesive properties to to cure/set/dry properly.

Yeah it was a very odd choice, I don't think they had a complete HT figure to make moulds of, they must have been missing the correct hands and improvised by using War Machine ones not bothering to remove the incorrect gauntlets even though they are cast separately scratch , then added some MKIV gauntlets that don't have the articulated parts with slide out laser modules like the MKVI does. Some sort of communication breakdown between the factory and HC I'd imagine and it was too late after they had assembled thousands of these to correct! Easy fix though.

Spent this morning redoing the HC exposed circuitry chest paint work and modded the arc reactor. It was upside down so corrected that, it was too thick with flash blocking parts so took a scalpel to it, then blacked out the inner triangle etc..

Thanks Mark, that was the easy part! Trying to trim down that tiny arc reactor is bloody hard and I can now see in the blown up pics where it looks a bit rough but in reality I can barely get the tip of a very acute scalpel blade in those gaps, no needle file or bit of sandpaper would ever fit.

Neat mods,

I'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between the HC and HT, apart maybe from the Tony HS.

CHEERS!

If I had your skills I would be tempted to attempt the repositioning of the reactor triangle myself but I don't want to mess up completely. So in that detail, I will be living vicariously through you. Smile

LOL! You always said you can't tell one IM armour from another anyway! Wink Yeah, that head is pretty rough by today's standards but I'm sure I'll get some use out of it on another Tony after a repaint and added glasses.

If you just want to flip it the right way up there's not too much work, I haven't covered all of it here as you need to pop off the reactor itself and cut off a tab then put it back on the other way with a dab of glue which is pretty simple TBH. The fussy stuff is the scalpel work which I've done more of since those last pics.

I've been trying different gold applications with varying degrees of success so far on his arms and legs using markers then paint etc.. I don't have any gold for the airbrush as that takes a special finely ground mix so it won't block up or just 'rain' watery paint droplets.

Apart from a few colour variations, what are the real differences anyway!? Only diehard fans would really know. Or would they all be watching Bruce Willis!?

TBH I'm a huge fan of the suits but don't know what some of them are designed for! Basically he went on an introverted bender absorbed in his work and building his own collection for any possible scenario and since he also builds/collects beautiful bikes and cars I think some suits were just built because he thought they looked cool.

More scalpel work on the arc reactor as mentioned. I'm using the gold as a foundation layer right now and using super fine gritted pads to smooth it out physically, appearance wise it looks rough but it's not. I'll then use some special Vallejo Air polished gold paint I just ordered with my airbrush which should give as close to a pristine finish as I'll be able to get without electro plating it which is far too much work!!

Another masterpiece in the offing methinks!

'Just because they look cool..' That's the rationale behind the vast majority of what comes out of Hollywood these days. I too like the IM suits, but, I stuck to my favourite, which is the Mk42.

More of a make over than master piece! Laughing Hollywood has always been about what looks cool at the time! Every movie star from there has been a glamour icon or suave idol of their times, that's the fantasy and 'American Dream' it's built on... a bit like Disneyland without the Nazi mouse creator.
Ironically the MK42 is my least favourite suit, I only have it in the Power Pose version and use Pepper Potts' helmeted head for it as that's the only armour you see her in so far, looks great with my Die Cast MK43 on the same base and both helmets open showing them as a couple fighting together.

I forced the leg parts into bits to get at the hinges and to make painting easier/better. I had to very carefully use a chisel to pry loose the glued in joint stems, if you plan to do this expect something to break at some point! The joints are nice and stiff now and I discovered there are thigh swivel joints too! silver and gold paint next.

Ouch!

It's only as you get older that the rose tint of the Hollywood dream wears off. You start to see behind the shine, get more savvy about what you're spoonfed by the hype teams.

I liked Iron Man on his own, the team up movies never appealed, they look more like arcade games than movies. Fast moving eye candy for a goldfish generation.

The movies I respect and admire were done when the only thing done on a keyboard was the script

CHEERS!

As you get older the entire idea of life changes as you are disillusioned by experience, disappointments, betrayals etc.. That's why movies exist (entertainment in all forms) generally to try and ignore reality for a bit, or in my case make a lifestyle out of avoiding reality any more! Twisted Evil
Without CGI a lot of that wouldn't be possible to our modern brains that evolve and need more convincing visual tricks to allow escapism to work. What would LOTR be with out CGI for example? Or Iron Man? Star Wars is probably the only pre CGI science fiction to have really pulled it off but then they did have very basic CGI with lightsabers, hyperspace, weapons fire etc.. it was mostly due to the fantastic model makers and new innovative camera tricks and lenses etc..
I agree about the team up movies but they're still fun! Most importantly for me is that without them we wouldn't have gotten a modern Hulk Buster, MK45, MK46, HBMK2 and the MK50! Wink

Back to the build, not much to report other than even special airbrush gold is difficult to use but the finish will be worth it! Silver after I've done the gold...then clear coat.
