After several incarnations of Hourman in my custom mego collection I have finally settled on how I want him.
I originally sculpted a head out of sculpey with a Dick Grayson face for a base. The head was so heavy he kept falling over and cracking.
So, now I redid the head. I literally designed a small scaled mask out of satin fabric and padding to get it to look like he does in the comics. I touched up the face with fabric paint with a little black around the eyes....
The costume is a silkscreen design by a friend of mine
(these silkscreens are not as hard as some people were making it. I know a great tutorial online if anyone is interested. You can do it with your own printer!!!)
The head with the mask moves fine from left to right with no issues (like my last attempt) I think I am going to leave Hourman like this. I am finally happy!!
