View Full Version : HMC #14 - Iron Giant
lmancg 05-12-2008, 10:57 PM I am doing Iron Giant because it's one of my favorite movies of all time. I started this model late because of some unavoidable family events. I have other family events coming up so I'm going to get as much done as I can. Not sure I'll be able to finish this by the deadline, but at least I tried.
In the meantime, here's my start. I got my references from all over the web including http://www.ultimateirongiant.com/. I will be watching the DVD again for reference as well.

I just watched this movie for the first time. Absolutely awesome! Thanks for starting this entry; I'd been meaning to watch this movie since it came out near 10 years ago, but I just never got around to it.. But this planted the idea in my head again, and when I saw it in the DVD-racks at the grocery store I snapped it up. Glad I did :)
Good luck man; I hope you've had time to work on it!

Coming right along.. Keep it up man; not long to go!
Do you have this picture (http://www.ultimateirongiant.com/model/137.jpg) already? Or these (http://www.ultimateirongiant.com/model/140.jpg) two (http://www.ultimateirongiant.com/model/0011.jpg), and this one (http://www.ultimateirongiant.com/model/3.jpg) of his foot? High-res Giant model-sheets; might help you keep proportions & shapes in line if you aren't already set.
And don't forget the dent! :thumbsup:

Oh man, thanks for his foot. I've been racking my brain looking at other reference pictures. I must've missed it. I've seen that giant size comp image but I wonder why I haven't been using that. I have the other two. Thanks so much! I hope I can make it in time, but work and family events are slowing me down. But since I've started I've been having fun with it so if I don't make it in time it'll be something I'll work on on the side.
Thanks a lot for the additional reference pictures!
And I'll get that dent in once I increase the poly-count on the head!
