Iron Hand Captain, Iron Man/War Machine style

[green stuff]

As soon as I saw Tony Stark in his MK 1 armor in the cavern scene, I saw a Space Marine. This mini was initially planned for GD UK 2008 but life happened, so I finished it for GD FR 2009.

very cool idea, nice sculpting particularly on the hands i think as their proportional and not all chunky looking. the paintjob is equally as nice. the only thing i dont like is the exhaust fumes. they blend in too easily with the colorscheme.

Excellent. Just the exhaust isn\'t coming across. It looks like flags or pea soup frozen in motion. Not trying to make fun, just giving an honest assessment.

I really love the limited palette. Excellent work on the paint. I don\'t really have a problem with the exhaust. It has a particular aesthetic to is that reminds me of comic book art, which seems appropriate. I wish I could put my finger on which comic I\'m thinking of.....

The only critique I have is to lose the sprue rubble. Sprues have that distinctive trapezoidal cross section that just grabs my eye as soon as I see it. Styrene/plasticard comes in sticks almost the same dimensions that are truly rectangular.

Thanks everybody for your comments .

About the colorscheme, from the other feedback I\'ve got it seems to be a love/hate situation. I think it comes from the fact that some parts are weathered in way that tends (or wants to tend ) towards realism and other parts are more stylized (and indeed tend towards a comic book feel).

@Shawn : No worries. I\'m open to honnest opinions and representing smoke/gaz/vapor is something I\'ve been trying out since a few years with half/half results.

@hakoMike : I\'ll have to look into your suggestion .

good stuff sir! i like the stylized feel to the mini and the more realistic base. it seems to set him apart
