    "For Victory!" cried the Shining Knight!



    Finally got my Shining Knight done. I picked up the pieces for Sir Justin at last year's Mego Meet. Doc Mego provided a resin Cheron head, yellow body suit and Conan scabbard and sword. I briefly thought about making his costume gold, but while that might make him look good with the Mego knights, he'd stick out like a sore thumb with the WGSH. So yellow it was, with some model magic and gold paint for his helmet, and the same Mego-like vinyl I used for the Vigilante's hankerchief for his tunic. A paco cowboy belt to keep his britches up. Again, tried to make it look as Mego-like as possible.

    I know in some appearances (including JLU) his helmet is gray/silver, but I think the gold works better.


    With my somewhat customized Speedy (who needs his sleeves cut), that gives me 4 of the Seven Soldiers, although I plan to do GA in his original costume for this group next.

          Nice... wish I had one to go with my Vigilante figure. I would, of course, then become obessed with getting a Breyer Pegasus. I wouldn't do my Vigilante until I had the right kind of motorcycle.

                  Yeah, the thought of a Winged Victory Breyer custom did cross my mind...but man he'd be a space eater!
