As promised and in great part thanks to the amazing @shayne907 who provided me with both the inspiration AND the base figure to add this to my expanding 1:18 scale Iron Man collection.
originally a Mark IV IRON MAN 2 figure, this had some sculpted elements added and a glossy black finish over the dark parts of his armor.
I wish I had a better camera to show you better pictures but I am pleased at how bad-a$$ this design looks over the other ones. Again, Shayne907 THANK YOU for making this possible!!. Without your help this literally would've never happened.
