I had done an Iron Patriot with one of the figures from the first Iron Man movie, but felt this base would serve better for this custom. Had and extra lying around, so why not! It was fun :) I have really busy and needed an easier custom to do. I used Tamiya clear Red and blue with a black brush job for depth and silver for the metallic look. Again, just a fun one because I've been out of the game for a wee bit.
