First Mod from scratch - Iron Man

[DR21]

Finally finished it, my first full sculpt. Its not as good as I originally saw it, but its a start. I was hoping to make him look bulkier.
I posted a while ago what I should use to start a sculpt. I've learned Armatures are not all that great. Just use wire. You can pose better with it.
Now I have to paint him. I am desperately looking for "glossy metallic red" or a rich metallic red that i can apply a gloss coat to. Similar to what Wizkids did to the ultimately Iron Man in Avengers. Any help there would be very much appreciated.
I also want to thank the guys who directed me to some websites. Those were of great help.

Pic is in the "Originals" folder.

Here are Iron Man's stats:

The sculpt is awesome, and dial is good! :cool:

For "Repulsor Shield," I'd go a different route:

When Iron Man would be dealt damage from an attack, power or feat (including penetrating damage), you may roll 1d6 and subtract 2 (minimum 1). He reduces the damage dealt by the result minus the number of action tokens he possesses.

He ignores penetrating damage/PB/PW/EW, and can reduce up to 4 damage on a single attack.

man that is cool cant wait to see it painted!!!!


as for repulsor shield?? i would keep it the way you have it, sorry spider ham but what you said seams a bit complicated and a bit to powerful B^(

[ShadowMoses]

That is an amazing! all your stuff is awesome, but that blows me away!

[DoctorDoom]

Very nice! I love the sculpt and the dial! Kudos on a mod job well done.

I only have a couple persnickity little changes I would make.

Energy Explosion = Pulse Bolts
RCE = Unibeam
Outwit = Battlefield Intel or Battlefield Computer
Perplex = Scientific Genius or Power Boost or Armor Upgrade

Like I said... just being persnickity. -- Hope to see more mod goodness though!

[Vestige]

Yeah cool minis! I have the same Delll Rusk.;) I believe we must be more tahn two.

[ReZourceman]

You could try mixing Citadel Miniatures paint for the metallic red.

Awesome mod!

Nice mod but Advanced Targeting Systems seems useless...

If you give him a power action to use it, he can't attack or move afterwards...

Instead, maybe have him taking 1 unavoidable damage for doing that.

[CurBludgeon]

Nice dial. Should "Repulsor Shield" say "Iron Man has Toughness and his defense is +2 for ranged attacks?" Because if there isn't some restriction there, I'd think it would be easier to just grant the +2 to the defense value naturally, and keep "His defense -1 for each action token on him."

My bad. I guess I should have added he can make an attack with that power action. I just didn't want him to use that Special Power with RCE. I want it to be decision when attacking. Do you attack that guy in stealth for 3 or 2, or hit someone in the open for 3 or 4.

Thanks for the correction. Makes more sense now.

Good point. I decided to make it for all attacks. I thought if the power was countered or canceled he should be easy to hit and the hit should slide him into his Willpower clicks.
I was going for a reverse Shellhead I guess. I could have just said he has Toughness and while he has not action tokens his defense is +2.

Thanks for the input.

No problem. I like feedback.

I like your Energy Exlposion and RCE
Armor Upgrade would be cool for Outwit. In fact new gadget was kinda lame, but it was all i could think of at the time.

Thanks


Persnickity? That word makes me think cheese now.

[Thalstrak]

Nice work. Can't wait to see it painted. Took a look at your other mods. Good stuff. Keep up the good work.

[DoctorDoom]

I checked out the rest of your mods and they're all quite good too. Light years ahead of my own mods! :cool:

[Ponchot]

Fantastic work on Iron Man.

Absolutely love Annihilus too!

[BlitzCreator]

I'm trying to do stuff from scratch too, I read the modder's guide or whatever, not sure if it helps me much, but anyway what tools/materials did you use?

[Pashmina]

Lovely sculpt and good dial!

[Granite Moose]

Excellent work on Iron Man. The only problem I have is that the pics seem a little dark and I'm not able to see the detail work that you've done.

[Snake_Eyes898]

That fig is SCREAMING to be painted! Looks AMAZING. I wish I had one myself so I could take a crack at painting it :D
