i own the original figure IM2 truck... and this is an improvement.

I basically bought this figure cause it was cheap and it was my first custom. As far as the head goes predicon was my only figure missing a part that I felt I didnt care about. About paint application I found some cheap acrylic metallic paint pens used them mostly for application then whatever I couldn't get I dabbed paint out then used a brush. The clear was labelled as just a sealer so I assumed it would be matte but once I started with the clear I figured meh. If anyone could give me some suggestions on easily available paints and clear that would be great. Thanks for the compliments and looking !!

Nicely done. I wish I could find a cheap version of this mold!

If you have Liquidation world in your city thats where I got mine, They also had the two different jets and car. They had about 3 boxes worth for $6 each. I was thinking maybe get another humvee and try roadbuster ? Maybe the jet and try I dont know who. Anybody have a cool suggestion ?

last time i was in st. catherines they were clearancing the Iron man 2 molds out at giant tiger for 7, i can have someone take a look and grab one for you if they're any still there for you.

i'll also take a look at home at my GT for you Bruticus82.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it - the cheapest I've ever seen this mold has been $15.

I think our Liquidation World downtown closed down...right?

I didn't see any at Giant Tiger last time I was there (3 weeks ago) but who knows.

aWesome!!!!

[chans formers]

looks pretty slick!!
though a different head and a bit of blue in the upper chest area would seal the deal as ironhide a bit more,but i understand you were only using what you had on hand.
still a nice piece

for matte clearcoat,try walmart,krylon "dusted crystal clear",7-8 bucks,enough to do atleast 3 voyagers,or 4-5 deluxes
