Posted June 21, 201311 yr Hi everyone. I've just started thinking about compiling a small collection of Iron Legion suits, like the Gemini and the Shotgun. I thought some of you might have good ideas for mostly purist (some painting or decaying is possible if necessary) armours. To start us off, my idea for a purist Iron Patriot for those like me outside the US. Captain America torso, Iron Man helmet, War Machine visor/mask. (Credit to Hulk_Smash for the photo.) What have you guys got? P.S. Could a moderator please delete my other post with the trimmed title? I didn't realise there was a limit.
June 21, 201311 yr Eomer's torso from LOTR makes a decent Bleeding Edge armor torso. Other than that, I've got nothing.

June 21, 201311 yr War machine face plate, red helmet, mark 6 (triangle reactor) torso, light grey arms, red hands and maybe mark VII legs with grey conector piece would be an excellent Silver Centurion!
June 21, 201311 yr Author That's an awesome idea. You could also use the War Machine torso instead of the Mark VII torso and make a Mark V (suitcase armour).

My idea for the Red Snapper armor was the heart breaker torso backwards, a normal helmet and http://brickset.com/parts/?part=4595836 this piece in each hand with a Exo force claw piece on the end!

Good idea with the claws, I was wondering how I could do those. How do you think a Thumper could be done? I was thinking of using those cyborg arm pieces with nothing in them.
June 25, 201311 yr King pixel, a suggestion would be try and get the iron man 3 app/game. It has some real nice 360 degree 3d models of all the armors, it would be a good spot to get ideas! That's what I do!
June 25, 201311 yr Has anyone tried recolouring Mk 42 in photoshop to see of it looks like the suitcase armour?

I haven't myself, but recolouring it would be quite a chore, wouldn't it? The actual fig I mean. Edited June 26, 201311 yr by KingPixels
June 29, 201311 yr This Flickr user posted reference images of all 42 armors from this book. The images aren't of the highest quality, but I managed to design decals of all of them for a project of my own so I'm sure you guys can use them for this purpose.

I actually own the book, so I can use it as a reference. It's mostly finding Lego parts that match that's the problem.

Well, it is important that you know what the armors look like first. Hopefully someone else will get some use out of them.

October 12, 201311 yr I think some armors can be done from chima torsos, as they have a chi ball in the chest wich looks like a reactor. Also here is my try at shotgun: I know the arms arent yellow, but the thin light in the chest is reminiscent of its reactor.

If you were to change the arms to yellow, that'd make a pretty convincing suit.

That looks just like the Shotgun armour! What torso is that?
October 12, 201311 yr Scorpionox, i meant the arms Are yellow, im sorry, i just dont have any better ones laying around... Also, here is "thumper" or Striker On 10/12/2013 at 8:11 PM, KingPixels said: That looks just like the Shotgun armour! What torso is that? Its a regular torso from the second generation of atlantis.

October 13, 201311 yr I was thinking maybe this piece ( http://www.brickset.com/parts/?part=6022564 ) could be used for some armor. Maybe one of the stealths or Romeo (black with big reactor) Edited October 13, 201311 yr by Sanoreti
October 18, 201311 yr Author I was thinking that this torso could be used for a stealth armour too. Comes from the blacktron evil robot from Series 11 CMF.

That is Just Perfect! Gotta find one of those! Following the same line of thought, this could be used for gemini: Just couple it with white breathing tanks, war machine helmet and Golden iron man faceplate.
