Moebius Iron Man Mk VI

Post by Muzzy »

I wasn't sure if this should go in the figures section or sci-fi, but seemed a closer fit to to sci-fi section than the historical and fantasy figures in the figures section. If it's the wrong section let me know.

This was the second kit I built when I got back into the hobby a few years ago.

The majority of it was painted pale gold with transparent red airbrushed over the top and aluminum for the knees and arms. Also a dark brown wash for the panel lines.

I had to touch up his chest and shoulders a bit when a few places lifted up peeling off some masking. One thing I didn't take into account when touching up was the more coats of transparent red I sprayed the darker it got which you can see on the shoulder and neck in particular. I decided to just leave it rather than risk messing it up anymore. Other than that and the seam line on the back of his right leg where the putty kept shrinking a bit after a painting I was happy with how it turned out. It was a fun figure to paint with those colors.

I threw up a piece of poster board for this one to spare you all from my cluttered desk. Think I can use some better lighting though. Hopefully the more time I spend on the forum my photography skills will improve along with my modeling skills! :lol:
