Custom: Hydro Armor Iron Man

When I first saw DCSH Lex Luthor's body, I knew that it was a fitting body for a Hydro Armor rendition of Iron Man. I got a loose Lex which unfortunately has a left foot with superglued articulation. This meant a harder time posing but the figure can still stand well and do a variety of poses. I took a HML Ultimate IM mask and sculpted it into the head chamber. I first basecoated the whole figure black. Then covered it with aluminum. Parts were then painted with either clear red or yellow to bring out the popular IM metallic look. After several coatings, the results is a beautifully shined metallic look armor that's ready for fighting in Atlantis!
