    My first completed custom...Red Skull

    Well here it is, my first custom. Any Feedback appreciated!



    I got the head from Doc Mego at Megomeet... I have no idea of it's origin other than that. Body and boots (cut down Klingon) are also from Doc.
    Hands are CTVT.
    Sewing and paint by me. I don't know why I thought this would be an easy starting project. I guess it did get my sewing skills flowing again! The uniform is not nearly as polished as I hoped for, and I did get some smutz on his thigh (which I now need to go clean better...wanted to get pics up tonight), but oh well.
    I also modified the head with the snazzy cigarette holder... I find it inconceivable that Red Skull would not be a smoker.

      Really nice especially for a first one. BTW, the head is a shrink of the FC Red Skull.

          Outstanding!

          I would call the the paint job Polyester-esque. The detail is absolutely fabulous!

                Terrific! Love the addition of the Sideshow(?) medal.

                The uniform is a great variation, instead of the traditional coverall.
                WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                    That's an excellent Red Skull. The head sculpt and paint job reminds me of john Byrne's version
