At the request of JFAK:


The Iron Man Hydro Armor:

I can't say how much I love this custom. The parts and paint aps, just perfect.

I like this custom quite a lot. However, it doesn't seem streamlined enough for Iron Man. This could be a Mark 1 dive suit, though.

Please don't misconstrue my above comment as saying I don't like the custom, though. It's fantastic.

Outstanding. The paint, parts and sculpting are incredible.

Does he wear the armor inside his armor?

Good work.

I really like it, but the rather large gap between his legs throws it off a bit.
Especially if you try to picture someone with the build of the MU Ironman (that is pictured next to it) inside of the armor.

Paint and construction are top notch!

Glad you dig it.

It is supposed to be a bit bulky, to be crush resistant at depth.

For your consideration:

The original Iron Man Hydro Armor (Mark I, if you will), from Iron Man #218.









Good catch. The answer to that is actually, yes.

The original Hydro Armor was not unlike the Hulkbuster was described in the comics. An exoskeleton/modular armor over a regular armor.

In the comic the internal armor could be jettisoned if the suit became trapped. (Which it did, of course) If I recall correctly, Stark called it an "escape armor".

I would have liked to have incorporated that feature into this custom, but that was a bit beyond my skill level.

Thanks for the comments folks.

The parts use on this is fantastic. The Trouble Bubble jets is ingenious.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was picturing when I was talking about it. The bulk doesn't concern me. It just seems awfully pointy.

Ohhhh!

I see where you're coming from now.

Yeah, ok, I can see that.
