I am posting this as a W.I.P. in hopes that it will keep me on my toes and make me finish it. I have too many unshown WIPS that are just collecting dust. So keep me working guys. Ever since Hawkeye posted that he got the prototypes for the power suits I have wanted to make one or 20 into power armors. I am going with turret head look for two reasons, I like symmetry, and why does power armor need a head? The body and legs were quite easy to take apart. They are mostly screws and light gluing. The arms are entirely plastic welded so I haven't gotten them apart yet. I am priming them in krylon flat black. It goes back together just as easily. I need to built the turret mount, but this is how the main gun will sit. I want to keep the mods simple so I can complete this quickly. I don't want this to become another project in the bottom of the box. I want him to have a pack of some sort on his back. Any ideas?

You know, it's funny. This was one of the things I wanted most from the Avengers line, but they're the only things from the range not to be released in the U.K.
I need to get my hands on one.

The shipping wouldn't be cheap, but if you want one I can see how much it will cost and you can paypal me.

The armors are 20 bucks. I would need to box one up to get a shipping quote.

I got a little paint on him today. I don't see me adding much more color. Maybe a little heavier silver on the pistons, but other than that I like him fairly dark.
