    Doctor Doom with Removable Mask!!

    Major Nelson I always thought he looked liked Victor Von Doom from the Secret Wars cover. A lot of changes have happened and a lot more still to come. I was originally unsure about the head, was thinking the DST scared Deadpool head but I went with this and will add a small GI Joe like scar to his face bc that really captures Dooms way of thinking. Not completely happy with the gloves. The tunic needs to be lower and the belt changed to brown but it has come a lonnnnggggg way. The mask is under construction. Hopefully soon it all will be completed. Stay tune true believers

    Scary how much that sculpt looks like Julian McMahon!

    And I'm sure that's not the Doom you were probably going for, but it works on a lot of levels.

    Nice job!

      Wow, very nice, and he does look a lot like Mike Zeck's "perfect" Victor from Secret Wars!

          Correct i was going for either the molded head that's out there or the head with the hood but its too small to scale. Both heads I have but I got stuck on this idea of doing something completely new out of the box different and this is it

            It's likely what Mego would have re-used, but Dr. Mego does have a possible alternative: http://shopsite.fatcow.com/ss12.3/sc...48ad1748407f5c

              I shrunk the Doom Famous Covers boots and gloves. I don't really collect Marvel and I could be persuaded to let these go.

                An even swap of the Major Nelson uniform and your gloves and boots for my gloves and boots?

                  How did you shrink those? Aren't they silicone?

                    nah cheap vinyl. The plasticizer had started to leak out of them and they were getting that grimy feel. I figured the acetone would take the plasticizer out and it worked. They shrank just to Mego scale.
                    Stand by for a pic.

                      Some of the black paint came off the boots and the gloves could use some silver paint all over.
