    Golden Age Starman

    Hey folks, been a while but life has been in the way! I think I'll be taking a break form the parts and heads for a while and focus more on customs a bit, as I forgot how fun it was.

    Anyway, here's golden age Starman using a Troy Younger head and killer lace up style shorts by none other than Tbolt! For those of you that have not had the opportunity to use a Troy Younger head I highly suggest check out his site and placing an order. Not only is Troy one of the nicest people I know but his work compares to no other IMO. Not only are his heads cast in some really hard and heavy stuff they are nearly flawless and detailed with a style that is worthy of being called AquaTroy-esque. I've been wanting to try out Tbolt's lace up shorts for some time now so I got a few from him and folks lemme just say if you think they look good in photos, they look better in person! Nice stitch work, solid eyelets and quality lycra make these babies totally worth the mere $8.00 per pair.

    I knew I recognized those shorts, they look great on him, in fact everything looks fantastic. Nice paint job, glad to see you making customs again

                    Nice to see you back in action Fred. Starman looks great! And Troy's heads definitely have a Golden Age vibe to them. Tbolt - the shorts are very cool...

                      Thanks all, he was a fun build. shellhead, glad you asked actually His cosmic rod is a spent Dremel bit! hehe I gobbed on some Apoxie Sculpt to the worn down end, let it dry the actually attached it back to the Dremel, turned it on it's lowest speed and used a grinding wheel and sand paper to sort of lathe the shape on the end. It my favorite part of the figure!

                          That's a pretty looking figure--and--yes--the head looks exceptional.

                            He looks really great. I don't think I've ever seen his weapon.... What does he do with it?
