Hi guys!!!!
Some more, and significant progress has been made!!!! Yay!
Yesterday after work, I went to "work" on This build, and was getting all the wires together to put the two haves of the torso together. I have been testing the lights from time to time, to ensure that they still work, and I haven't shorted anything out.
So, when I test fitted the torso , the top led in the Steam Compactor wasn't working!!!
I didn't totally freak out, but started to envision a rebuild of the device.
I did an exploratory surgery, and discovered that apparently the solder to the Neg. leg of the led, had weakened, so I re-soldered some new wire, and re-covered it. Then I finished the right arm, and snaked the wires through the body, and then glued it together!
On his left arm, there was a big chunk missing. I think it was just a poor molding. I used some Tamiya putty to re-build it.
Here's a pic of the right arm attached to the body. Obviously a different pose than the "constipated shocked with electricity" he comes in.
SO...onto the base, which I figured I should start on to make ready for the figure.
I removed the plate in the center of the gear that had "IRON MAN" molded in it. I was thinking of placing a translucent sheet of plastic in there with some flashing lights underneath, but after playing with some concepts, am thinking of something different.
So, there he is with all the lights on, and the light in his right palm, (repulsinator) is a RGB flasher. Hopefully I will figure out a way to get a brief video of him with the lights on.
