At least ten companies have been credited for contributing stunning visual effects to Marvel's The Avengers Super Hero team up of a lifetime. And among them is Legacy Effects, formerly Stan Winston Studios, who've partnered with Marvel Studios once again for Iron Man's third outing. And now that the film has been released, one of their digital sculptors, Josh Herman, has released some of his work via CGHub, including a Hulk maquette.

I got the chance to work on The Hulk maquette for The Avengers. I worked closely with Charlie Wen and Ryan Meinerding on this since they started the initial sculpts. I ended up fusing them together and adding some finishing touches to it.
I got the chance to do the Iron Man mark vii model while working at Legacy FX. What an amazing experience and a great movie! Designed by Phil Saunders. Additional modeling done by Greg Smith

This is a practical maquette that was made from my model. It was painted and put together by the fantastic team at Legacy Effects. It's a 1/2 scale maquette and stands about 3 feet tall. Probably one of my favorite days seeing it all put together.
