Iron Man (Heavy Metal Armor)
When Madame Masque gave up crime and became a professional signer, she quickly became one of the biggest acts in show biz! But Iron Man realized it was really a scheme to steal every gold record in the recording industry! To stop her from topping the charts, Tony Stark quickly developed the Heavy Metal Iron Man armor, designed to beat Madame Masque with the power of rock!
The Heavy Metal Iron Man armor has the audio power of a 6 foot stack of Marshall amps. It has over 2000 LEDs built into the surface, as well as 64 rotating projection lasers and a six-vent fog machine, making it capable of producing a kick-ass laser light stage show. The armor is pre-programmed with guitar styles from Hendrix to Page to Slash, allowing Tony to shred a guitar like a master without ever having taken a lesson.
By the way, the Heavy Metal Armor is my own creation. It has never appeared in any comic.
The Recipe
Heavy Metal Armor Iron Man is made from a repainted Minimate. His head and facemask come from an Iron Man Mark III Armor Minimate, with a bandanna sculpted and added with Magic Sculpt. He's wearing a Lobo jacket and belt, with the belt buckle removed. His arms and legs come from a Mark V Movie Iron Man. The cuffs on his lower legs and bands on his right arm come from X-Force Wolverine. Finally, his right arm sports a chain made from Magic Sculpt and a quick mold of the Ghost Rider chain. I used the same mold to make the chain on the back of his jacket as well.Heavy Metal Iron Man's guitar comes from a Chef Duff Minimate, repainted to match the 80's metal aesthetic I was trying for with this Minimates.
