KISS ALIVE Ace

[megojim]

To join my Gene, here’s my finished rendition of Ace’s ALIVE album cover costume. Long sleeves & random star pattern. Seen playing a Paul Wasson made guitar I picked up a few years back. At least I think that’s where I got it. Will post a group pick of my ALIVE figs together soon. Enjoy!

Keep cranking them out! Love them all!

Thanks guys, really enjoyed putting these two together. They both had their challenges but most custom figures do.
Ace was made using a Figs Inc black body suit, a pair of Gene’s DTK platforms modified (used solder for the tops), craft foam lightning bolts, made the shoulder rings from cord that I rolled, glued and painted, used the same cord for the cuffs and collar. I got the rhinestones off amazon and glued them on one by one. Lastly the head is from the first album figure, I just modified the hair. Here’s a group pic:

Excellent work. You really put some added detail to that lineup. Nicely done.

That is so cool that I was inspired to listen to Deuce....... Gene was an awesome custom but Ace was always my favorite.... So this is my pick of the pair!

[megojim]

Have to agree Gman! Thanks

You are the BEST Jim... one of my most respected toy gurus, of course... and your customization consistently work reflects that!!
