Well, I pretty much jumped on the Ironman bangwagon and decided to do a custom ironman figure. My son hasn't used his Sigma 6 figures in quite some time so I figured he would notice if one was missing;).
A lot of info and inspiration came from "Jin's" work. He's tips and tutorials helped a lot.
A big thanks to Jin:D.
The base is an S6 Cobra Commander. I gutted the chest and added an LED with replaceable batteries and a create a removeable chest plate to aid the function. I sculpted the head with the S6 theme in mind and added a few designs to the body to give it some similarities. A red & gold paint job with a touch of pear ess. and WALA! A custom Ironman.

Let me know what you guys think.

I'm not a big fan of the Sigma 6 stuff, or customs based on them, but that's some great work. And LEDs are almost always cool.

Not diggin' the oversized cranimu but the rest is looking pretty good. You get an A for originality (or would that be an O?).

Not diggin' the oversized cranimu
Well, it is a helmet, which by definition has to be bigger than one's head in order to be worn. ;)
Any exaggerated proportions are also in keeping with the cartoony style of the entire Sigma 6 line.

Definatly badass! I went with the TV animated look, you went with with the realistic movie look. Love the smooth sculpting on the head/chest/legs. That chest looks factory perfect!
I looked for the battle-damage CC for an Iron Man base so I could rip that spinny thing out and put in an LED too. Where'd you find yours? I only found the regular CC's at Toys R Us.

Now put it on ebay, and some moron will pay you lots amounts of cash (tell them Jin made it, just to get the big bucks).
Other than that, nice custom.

:oWOW! Thanks for all the compliments. I'm glad everyone like it. It was a heck of a project though. This figure custom thing ain't as easy as Jin makes it look;).
Jin, that CC I managed to get of my son. He didn't care much for the spinning chest plate so I was able to find the black CC at a local T'RUS an basicaly traded it for the blue one. It made the LED process a lot easier.
Mikedanger, I'm sure there is a way to put LED on the hands (probably using fiberoptics), but unfortunately I'm not that crafty:(.
Thnks again everyone.
