KingPixels Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Hi everyone. I've just started thinking about compiling a small collection of Iron Legion suits, like the Gemini and the Shotgun. I thought some of you might have good ideas for mostly purist (some painting or decaying is possible if necessary) armours. To start us off, my idea for a purist Iron Patriot for those like me outside the US. Captain America torso, Iron Man helmet, War Machine visor/mask. (Credit to Hulk_Smash for the photo.) What have you guys got? P.S. Could a moderator please delete my other post with the trimmed title? I didn't realise there was a limit. Quote
Jaller8240 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Eomer's torso from LOTR makes a decent Bleeding Edge armor torso. Other than that, I've got nothing. Quote

Im a brickmaster. Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 War machine face plate, red helmet, mark 6 (triangle reactor) torso, light grey arms, red hands and maybe mark VII legs with grey conector piece would be an excellent Silver Centurion! Quote
KingPixels Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 That's an awesome idea. You could also use the War Machine torso instead of the Mark VII torso and make a Mark V (suitcase armour). Quote
commodore_legolas Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I have a great MK 35 Redsnapper. I'll share later. Oh, and completely purist! Quote

My idea for the Red Snapper armor was the heart breaker torso backwards, a normal helmet and http://brickset.com/parts/?part=4595836 this piece in each hand with a Exo force claw piece on the end!

My idea for the Red Snapper armor was the heart breaker torso backwards, a normal helmet and http://brickset.com/...s/?part=4595836 this piece in each hand with a Exo force claw piece on the end! Good idea with the claws, I was wondering how I could do those. How do you think a Thumper could be done? I was thinking of using those cyborg arm pieces with nothing in them. Quote
ToaJaller78 Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Red Helmet + Silver face + ????? Make Mk. 4 Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 King pixel, a suggestion would be try and get the iron man 3 app/game. It has some real nice 360 degree 3d models of all the armors, it would be a good spot to get ideas! That's what I do! Quote
Zilcho Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Has anyone tried recolouring Mk 42 in photoshop to see of it looks like the suitcase armour? Quote

Has anyone tried recolouring Mk 42 in photoshop to see of it looks like the suitcase armour? I haven't myself, but recolouring it would be quite a chore, wouldn't it? The actual fig I mean.

Masta' Blasta' Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 This Flickr user posted reference images of all 42 armors from this book. The images aren't of the highest quality, but I managed to design decals of all of them for a project of my own so I'm sure you guys can use them for this purpose. Quote

I actually own the book, so I can use it as a reference. It's mostly finding Lego parts that match that's the problem. Quote

Well, it is important that you know what the armors look like first. Hopefully someone else will get some use out of them. Quote

Sanoreti Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I think some armors can be done from chima torsos, as they have a chi ball in the chest wich looks like a reactor. Also here is my try at shotgun: I know the arms arent yellow, but the thin light in the chest is reminiscent of its reactor. Quote

If you were to change the arms to yellow, that'd make a pretty convincing suit. Quote

That looks just like the Shotgun armour! What torso is that? Quote
Sanoreti Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Scorpionox, i meant the arms Are yellow, im sorry, i just dont have any better ones laying around... Also, here is "thumper" or Striker That looks just like the Shotgun armour! What torso is that? Its a regular torso from the second generation of atlantis. Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Scorpionox, i meant the arms Are yellow, im sorry, i just dont have any better ones laying around... D'oh! This is what I meant. If you were to change the arms to not yellow, that'd make a pretty convincing suit. Quote
Sanoreti Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) I was thinking maybe this piece ( http://www.brickset.com/parts/?part=6022564 ) could be used for some armor. Maybe one of the stealths or Romeo (black with big reactor) Edited October 13, 2013 by Sanoreti Quote
KingPixels Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 I was thinking that this torso could be used for a stealth armour too. Comes from the blacktron evil robot from Series 11 CMF. Quote

That is Just Perfect! Gotta find one of those! Following the same line of thought, this could be used for gemini: Just couple it with white breathing tanks, war machine helmet and Golden iron man faceplate.
