ED-209 Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) So I made a straight up repro of TLG's MK VI Iron Man suit. (That's the one with the triangular arc reactor.) Why? Why not! I also made a version of his helmet to sick onto a regular head. I'm not a huge fan of the official helmet, and I based the rough look of the mask on Christo's Iron Man. One of the suits of armour Stark wore in the comics was a dark blue/black "stealth suit". It also bore a triangular reactor, so a simple recolour was in order! I also have some vague recollection of some kind of green suit? I'm not sure if anyone can shed any light on that. It might have been concocted for one of the '90s toy lines as an "acid resistant" suit or something. Or maybe it could be a suit worn by the Mandarin? I really don't know but I thought it looked kind of intriguing nonetheless. Plus, as a little bonus, a drunk Tony Stark! I couldn't quite decide whether the drool was too over the top, so I wound up making a few subtle variations: Thanks for looking! As always, any feedback or ideas for alternate colour schemes are most welcome! EDIT: I've done another couple of recolours, a slightly different version of the Stealth armour: ...and some sort Arctic suit? I also can't believe I didn't think of a version of Iron Patriot! Thanks to Emperor Krulos and Sam892 for the suggestions! I did one based on the comics: ...and another version based on the photos from the Iron Man 3 film set Edited June 10, 2012 by ED-209 Quote
King of Nynrah Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Incredible! I don't use decals, but you may have just persuaded me to start. Great job! Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Amazing work. I'd love to see these applied on a fig. Thanks for sharing!!! Quote
Emperor Krulos Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 An Iron Patriot variation of this incredible decal would be awesome. Especially considering he'll be in the next Iron Man movie. Quote
Sam892 Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 An Iron Patriot variation of this incredible decal would be awesome. Especially considering he'll be in the next Iron Man movie. Agreed I would love an iron patriot decal from the upcoming film. I just finished painting my spare Iron man helmet to look like patriots today. It would be much appreciated ED-209. Also a Warmachine variant would be cool. Quote
Piranha Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 These are amazing! I really like the Stealth suit! I am going to use the green suit as an underwater one or something, algae/seaweed camouflage. Quote
ED-209 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 You made my day. Amazing decals, as usual. LOL Thank you! Tony Stark isn't Tony Stark unless he's soused! Thanks everyone! I might have to Photoshop the face into a photo until I can make a real figure! I just finished painting my spare Iron man helmet to look like patriots today. It would be much appreciated ED-209. Also a Warmachine variant would be cool. I'd love to see the painted helmet! I've also updated the original post to include a few more variants of the suit, including two for Iron Patriot. I could do a recolour if you'd like, but the War Machine suit from Iron Man 2 is really very different from the look of the MK VI. I am actually working on some images for it, but I'm not 100% happy with it yet. But rest assured that I'll post it when it's finished! Quote
Daimar Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Oooh, I just love your designs, really, great work there mate. I will make good use of your Iron-Patriot decal, prefering the first version. Just keep them coming, there can never be enough Iron-Men for the world.:) A sugestion, maybe you could do one thats similar to my avatar. I have taken it from the boxart of the Lego Iron-Man actionfigure, where you can combine him with Captain America. Not sure how many people are familiar with it. Like I said, just a sugestion.

Thanks for the patriot decal it looks awesome I can't wait to use it! Here's the picture of my paint helmet. Its still got a little way to go yet however. Also I rewatched Iron man 2 yesterday and had forgotten just how different warmachines armour actually is . I look forward to seeing your decal for it when its done.

Lightning Dragon Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Those are very nice decals. I think the Iron Patriot armor looks especially nice. I would really like to see a War Machine too, but that would be a little hard. I can't wait for the new Ironman movie! I prefer the Toy Fair Ironman minifigure that I own over the offical one with a helmet that I do not own. The helmet looks a little to bulky-ish for me, but I sort of like how it opens.

LegofreakKO345 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Those armors are spectacular! I would use them if I could. And those Tony Stark faces are just hilarious! Quote
DarkKnight7 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 These are great designs. I too am not too fond of the headgear for the Iron Man fig. I understand why it is that big...but they should have just gone with a simpler helmet or just a head. Can't wait to try these as decals...once I master this decal business Quote
DarkKnight7 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 My son caught me looking at these and really wanted to have your Iron Patriot decals. So, using some of the pieces we had around the house, I made one...crudely. I applied the decals as stickers, so you can see some edges on them and they didn't particularly take to the legs. The head was originally yellow and I just Shapried the head red (though it is starting to rub off...wish that would stay!). I didn't have any red hands either, so just kept the yellow ones. Either way, my son loves him and I think he looks pretty cool...even with the stickers! Thanks again for providing such great work for all of us to benefit from, ED209, my son and I appreciate it! Take a look: Quote
