I added Tim Man thigh armor & arm armor trimmed to gauntlets, as well. I used silver Tin Man hands.
I abandoned the astronaut gloves because, try as I might, I could not match their color/tone to vintage pieces.

Currently I'm trying to avoid 'vintage pieces' in my customs. I'm trying to stick with reproductions whenever possible. For availablity/custom purposes. Should I run into any problems with color matching, I'll just go see DrMego.
My plan here, is to complete a custom with FC head, and get an idea on how I want to sculpt my own head.
Looking through pics of the good Dr. on the web, wouldn't Doc Mego's knight gloves work well for him? I think I'd use Galahad's boots as well.
WH--? Where in blazes are we, Wall Crawler?
The knight gloves were insired by the good doctor.
Here's how they look on my Doom.
Yes! That is exactly how I'd do one.

It was hard to tell that these 'knight gloves' were in proportion with the 8 in. until this pic. Thanks.
