Iron Man Colour paints

I had ago at hand painting him, however the finish isn't perfect. I did a couple undercoats in GW shining gold and then five coats of clear red, could probably do with another. But all in all it looks good on the shelf.

               I modified my Mk III to match a scene in the first movie. The battle in Gulmira.

I planed to paint my Iron Man Mk III from the instructions, But it didn't look like a finished paint job in the first movie.

I started with a base cote of Aluminum http://flic.kr/p/7LA7Wh  But instead of using clear red I used Model Master Acrylic # 4633 Stop Light Red.

I remember a line in the movie when Tony wanted a "Hot Rod Red" I think I found the closest thing to it http://flic.kr/p/7MQkCy

I added a little black to barley darken it to match the Armor shade in the movie.  

Here's my build and finished kit  http://youtu.be/ePZGjxaOqo4

I used Gold Metallic and covered areas with Clear Red.

Worked for me, the red took on the metallic look I wanted.
