War Machine Mech Upgrade

[Mandalorianknight]

I liked the War Machine mech- enough to buy it despite those pre-bent joints- but I felt like there were some issues with it that could have been easily fixed by the designers. Namely the pre-bent joints. Here's my upgrade:

The second set of stud shooters weren't an intended change, I just had them lying around. But you can see here his arms are a lot more posable, and the shoulder cannon has a joint now too.

I also streamlined the color scheme to just DBG, trans-red, LBG, and gunmetal grey, excluding the tube and the double ball joint at the hips, since I don't have them in other colors.

Here it is with the only other marvel mech I've got. I actually kept the pre-bent knees for now, since the iron man mech's tough to pose with stability, so the WM mech doesn't get knees until I have the time to make a solution. But I do like how this mech looks significantly bulkier than the $10 one, even without my modifications. Makes it feel worth the higher price tag.

I also slightly upgraded the war machine figure, just by swapping the arms out for gunmetal ones and adding the shoulder cannon.

Cool! I upgraded the War Machine Mech too but not in the same ways

Nice work, the added bulk fits well with the character!

Thank you! I thought the mech was one of lego's better ones to start, but for $15, it needed that extra oomph.
