Looking good, I have that kit in my to do pile. I don't know if you've already arranged the hold but if not i reckon tamiya titanium gold would be a good representation, have read reviews of people using alclad gold but I think it's far too shiny, the real suit after all is supposed to be a titanium alloy I believe? Speaking of which, I hear theres an avengers movie in the making, if so i'm looking forward to it

well here you go guys all done apart from the base.
pre shading really pops and just a small black wash to give it some contrast.
also some blending on the gold.

i stuck with my original plan and did the gold flat, but i did try a vallejo metalic which i use alot but it did'nt look right, to shiney. i did think about the alcad and i have seen the kit done in this but to me it looks to plastic when finished any way see what you think.

the gold colour is a mix and in person looks better than the pics.
thanks for looking.

I did find this. Its called the Marvel Model Museum

http://www.theclubhouse1.net/marvelheroes.htm

The cool thing about it is with each photo they tell you the name of the company that made that kit. I think you would be hard pressed to find some of these. Iron Fist looks cool!
