    Figure Black Manta

    I may still tweak this a bit but it is pretty much done
    http://megomuseum.com/mmgallery/file...790_971729.JPG

    I changed the url and eliminated passwords.

    It is not password protected from viewing.

    If you are asked for a pssword, enter your user name and pass - I had to log in to view the gallery.

    hmm - i am trying to figure out the new gallery. it isn't as simple as the previous one.

    when it asked about being password protected - i figured that was for changes/deletions.

    i'll try to correct

    Now I see him! Nice job. The only suggestion I would have is to remove the adhesive (I assume that is what it is...or else Bill Clinton got near him ) on the front of his suit. It may not show up under normal lighting, but the flash on your camera picks it up.

    Other than that, he looks like he came straight off the Mego assembly line!!

  5. I like the AJ scuba tanks, but I'd trade out the orange tubes for some black ones.

    I've tried usaing goo be gone on the adhesive but can't get rid of it.

    (i got the suit from a member - he had a Batman emblem on it with some mondo adhesive glue)

    I may switch the tubes but I like the megoness of it and i painted the eyes to match - they really are pretty far from the character but i thought i'd use liscence on it

    Looks good. I wonder if the adhesive residue could be painted over with flat black acrylic?

    Looks good, but I'm with Ant on replacing the orange tubes with black ones. Otherwise, great job

    I will continue to try to get the glue out.
    and if I was to do the figure as typically shown his head should be grey/silver and the tubes are more often grey than black. i may change them - but i kinda like him as is.

    the biggest problem is actually not seen in the pic-

    i bought the head at the mego meet only to find out that the neck plug was too small when i got home so the head is just resting on him. it stays put nicely now but I may lightly glue it down.
