Amalgam has a character named iron lantern, that's pretty much iron man in green and gold instead of red and gold.

Iron Lantern (Amalgam character)

looks cool but why do his arms look so skinny,and how would i make that green lantern thing on his chest.if i dont paint it that color i would paint it dark blue and silver because if tony stark knocked on my door and said i want you to have an iron man armor i would say blue and silver please

Heh, Dark Hawk Ironman xD

The only other options I can think of with that armor at least, are Iron Lantern, Stealth, whatever custom flavors you prefer, X-O Manowar (though he'd need some parts from other characters like Omac, and the head retooled), Retro Iron Patriot, and Nova if you feel like tweaking some details into the shoulders for his upper circular pads.

For Iron Lantern, the lantern would either have to be painted on, just standard yellow, or if you get ambitious you could always find a mini lantern to sculpt into like the alpha lanterns.

You could do a Classic version of the recent Captain America Stark Armor from the "What If: Civil War" issue.

What If? Civil War

I'm currently working on a custom of that armor myself, so it would be interesting to see what a classic version would look like.

Possible color layout:
Helmet - Blue, Faceplate - Silver
Neck & Chest - Blue, Chestpiece - Silver
Torso & Waist - Blue
Shoulders - Red
Biceps - Silver
Gauntlets - Red
Upper legs (Thigh) - Blue & Silver (See picture)
Knees, Calves & Boots - Red

Just a thought.

Well, and in stark Disassembled they have a scene where we've seen that Norman has modified all Tony's armors to have iron patriot variations.

So if you need a reference for that, it's within the past 8 issues of the current running Iron Man somewhere.

decisions decisions

, i think im gonna do the dark blue and silver or the classic cap armor.i cant find the issue that shows osborns versions of iron man armor

Excelsior07 · 03-30-2010, 01:31 PM

Good luck on whatever you choose!

TheSymbiote · 03-30-2010, 08:59 PM

i know it looks bad but when i paint the actual figure it will look better,i'll use a darker blue on the blue and silver one because it looks too much like darkseid

eisen · 03-30-2010, 09:07 PM

how about SENTINEL colored armor?

That second picture looks about right. The only thing is on the leg, I'd probably start the red from the knee down. And if you want both blue and silver on the upper leg, you can paint a curve on the leg kind of like in the picture below...

Excelsior07 · 03-30-2010, 10:23 PM

Oh, by the way, when you're doing mock-ups for your customs and stuff in photoshop, I find it much easier if you 1.) Desaturate the picture (make it black and white) and 2.) paint each color on a different layer and then play with each layer's oppacity. It let's the picture show thru so you'll get a better sense of what it would look like.

i colored it that way so i wouldnt have to do any extra work like the curve

Excelsior07 · 03-30-2010, 10:38 PM

LOL, o ok. Well, I'm just throwin' out ideas for ya. I just assumed you had photoshop, sorry. Yes, photoshop is quite expensive, but I'm sure there's other software you can use for these purposes without having to pay so much. Good luck!

the silver paint was too watery so i painted it gold instead and i'm not disapointed.

Excelsior07 · 03-31-2010, 04:28 PM

Interesting!
