    Jack Kirby Captain America

    I turned the recent Captain Action mask into a Mego like head by filling it with tissue and sculpy. Giving him a neck to work with. Made a resin cast and gave it to Austin to shrink. The wings gave him a problem but he got them to work.

    I used the DC Direct Darkseid hands because of their Kirby squared off look.

    Back when Cap was first revived Jack drew him with a flat shield. Not the domed one he uses these days, so I created one for this custom.

    Head paints and suit sewn by me.

                  That. Is. Awesome.

                  I've always wanted to see those CA heads turned Megoesque! Fantastic!

                    That is one cool looking Cap!

                    Very cool that you adapted the head from the Round 2 Captain Action line. I know the line has its critics, but I think they were groovy.

                          Awesome! Love that head on him!

                          One idea -- cool that you thought of the flat shield, but how about adding the extra white stripe Kirby drew it with on the cover?

                              Oh man, I love that

                              I've wanted a great Kirby style likeness for Cap for years, and I don't even make superhero customs, lol
