Iron Man Mk38-"Igor"

[Quaralane]

Okay, next up on the bench is a HUGE figure kit from Dragon, namely the Iron Man Mark 38 "Igor" armor


To start with, this model has a LOT of parts to work with.




Now, thanks to the way this thing is engineered, it goes together very quickly.
The various plates cover many of the seams.
The head and torso went together very quickly



Before too long, I had all of the subassemblies finished.
Now, it should be noted that they recommend about 9g of weight in each foot to help it stand upright.
I used a lot of fishing shot for this



With the subassemblies finished, I base coated all of them with the dark grey primer from Vallejo.
I left the pieces that wouldn't show unpainted



With the primer dry, I gave all of the pieces a coat of Badger's European Dark Green



That was followed by airbrushing Badger Desert Sand ovder the green to create a camouflage pattern



With the sand dry, I used a black wash on some of the machinery parts to help bring out the detail.
I also picked out the eyes, arc reactor, and hand repulsors in white.

Finished build pics:







And with the Mark 42 to show a sense of scale

That's all kit supplied, John.
All I really did was give it a black wash
