Riverspoons' Iron Man Movie Diorama

riverspoons · 04-22-2010, 09:40 PM

This is my first post here in Toyark.com and I'm glad to start off here with my new diorama! =)

I've been collecting Iron Man figures since Marvel Legends era, and I'm dying to make a diorama out of it but it seems too big and I don't have enough space for my display cab. Once the Iron Man 3.75 inches came out of the market, I didn't think twice to start this project.

After almost a month working on my Iron Man diorama (started April 1st), finally I completed it! (though I need to install 2 more light set up for the armory) but everything else what I have in mind is here. Most of the details are fabricated using boards, printed stuffs, and many improvised stuffs. Good thing also I completed all of the Mark 1-6 before finishing the dio

I really had a blast working on this and I'm glad to share this with you all.

Workstation

with custom sculpted tony stark head

Garage

Tony working on his SL500 - still looking for Audi R8 1/18 =)

The Workshop

Tony's workshop

The Armory

Custom painted Mark III
I repainted the gold parts with more metallic yellowish gold, washed the armors details with black. I did the same thing with Mark IV and VI. I'm really satisfied with the result.

TFL!

I'll try add more pics soon!

That's sick man. I'm jealous.

Cool dio... Loved how you setup the armory

darth smave · 04-22-2010, 10:17 PM

Awesome diorama man loved all the little details especially your custom Tony Stark

Awesome armory garage, love the movie aesthetics with the cars and chains even monitor use. The only part that feels off really is the alcoves. I love the slanted off corner usage, but think how much more awesome it could be against the wall using the target armory stands, maybe even more in the wall halfway, would give you room almost for a fourth on each side too maybe. Depends on your measurements. All around amazing job though. Especially love the circle LED lights.

Thanks Snowflakian for your constructive opinion, I was really planning to use the Target exclusive bases though it doesn't reach our shores yet (Manila, Philippines). hopefully they'll be available soon.

Thanks you also too Archienj7, appa & dath smave! Thanks guys for appreciating my work =)

ludovicotek · 04-23-2010, 05:46 PM

Holy crap! This is awesome. Seriously, one of the best dios I have ever seen in my life. For sure the best Stark Armory/Work Station I have seen. Great work.

RenegadeReviews · 04-23-2010, 06:12 PM

eisen · 04-23-2010, 06:47 PM

riverspoons · 04-24-2010, 10:41 AM

@ eisen

Bionic Commando · 04-24-2010, 10:56 AM

Man I love this!!but you need to put a Marvel Universe Captain America shield on his desk like in the first movie

tiger007 · 04-25-2010, 04:25 AM

Out Friggin standing man. That is truely STARKS workshop you gone & done there.
The head choice for Stark is perfect & top work on the sculpting & the touch up`s on the suits are perfect.
Love the monitors etc you have done too.

TheLoudMaster · 04-25-2010, 12:51 PM

Now this is what I would LOVE to do with a toy display!!

Make it as cool and interesting as you possibly can!

Good job, Riverspoons and I'm glad to see another Filipino on the board, especially if he's making kick ass stuff like this!

And I love your recipe for a tony stark: Logan from the X-Men Wolverine Movie series and a Breaker head from the 25th anniversary line with some sculpted hair added to it.

Keep up the good work, and I'll try to get to work on something similar to this hopefully!

deceptifocus · 04-25-2010, 07:05 PM

nice, ive got one similar in 6"

enrico0819 · 04-26-2010, 07:16 PM

Hey riverspoons, where did you get the Mark V? I've looked everywhere here in Manila and I can't find it...

riverspoons · 04-27-2010, 03:10 AM

@ dudeman, ludovicotek, RenegadeReviews, Bionic Commando, tiger 007, & deceptifocus
Thank you so much for all the praises and good comments. That's inspires me to continue to work on this display and make it much better. Renovation starts after I watched the upcoming Movie!

@ TheLoudMaster
Thanks dude! I'm glad you liked my dio display, keep us posted on your project and have fun working on it!

@enrico0819
