Shell Head WIP

Here is a project I've been trying to start on for what, the last three years? He's almost finished. I just need to mold the hands, cast them, and put it together. I designed it to fit Dragon neo3 and neo bodies because they are easier to find and they won't dent your wallet. And if anyone wanted to make their own they could without having to spend too much for a body. I hope you like it.

Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME! This is too cool, one of the sweetest things I've seen in 1:6. (I'm a Shellhead geek).
:devi lhnd

Now I need a lie down and a Dr. Pepper.

Greydeath. If you offer this up for sale at some point I am so down.

At the very least a thousandaire.

This shell head takes me back - He kind of reminds me of the old 8" super hero figures from the 70's. Just needs a yellow body suit and wobbly legs.

OUT-STANDING!!!! Man, I am a HUGE fan of old school Iron Man, particularly the version from the 70's; it's my favorite armor design. You've just outdone yourself with this, greydeath... It is SO freakin' COOL!

I'll tell you: if you ever offer any of these for sale, I am down for one. No doubt.

That is mindblowing! And I'm so happy you decided to go with such a classic look. If you make a set available I'd be interested in one

Wow! Did you sculpt all of those parts or did you mold them off of an existing piece? Either way, I can't wait to see the completed Iron Man figure!

Thanks everyone. All the parts were sculpted from scratch and will be available for sale as a kit. Molding the parts is a pain but worth it in the long run. I plan on making his pointed mask too. Again, thanks. I'll let you know when it's ready for sale.

That's the only incarnation of (edit) *This Guy* worth a damn, imho. Great choice on the time period.

Perfectly and utterly nailed, sir.
