I have been thinking about this since Hot Toys released the Mark 3 Construction Set.
I like the concept and the electronics but not real thrilled about the base and the top panel and I hate to have repeated armors in my display
So I have been working on my own concept which is part of the Work Shop Level of my Stark Mansion Diorama.
My version will feature a Hot Toys IM2 HOA Figure Base. I could see Tony using this type of base to stabilize and move armors around his shop as he built and tested them.
I used a complete base for the bottom but I added wheels, so he can roll armors around the shop.
For the top, I used a stripped down base. I did this because I thought the combination of the 2 base plates would create a defined construction bay
I used a working 1/10 scale RC winch as an overhead hoist. I found a complete remote controlled set up on eBay for $50. I also have a set of chains and shackles which I will use to create a lifting apparatus
I'm going to try to replace the Mark III armor with a modified Bones armor and I want to incorporate some Mark 42 parts on it to make it look more transitional
Enough with the exposition, here are some pics and a video.
