    The Weed of Crime Bears Bitter Fruit, Crime Does NOT Pay.....The Shadow Knows HAHAHA


    Here's the latest entry into my custom pulp/serial/Golden Age Heroes run. Leather coat by Toybiz, pants from Hasbro. Head is a Bela Lugosi Dracula Little Big Head, he originally started out as a new Joker, until Thomas suggested I dress him like The Man Who Laughs and I tried a scarf on him, then the Shadow seemed like a perfect fit for the Lugosi head. Scarf, Hat and cape by me. Scarf has a bendy wire in it and the hat is my first attempt at a real one, out of felt and starched to hold its shape.



    and the TBolt sepia tone returns

                That is as well a put together custom as I ever seen. Is the hat all one piece?

                    here's the tutorial I figured it out from, it takes som trial and error with the patterns.

                    For example, the Shadow has a unique style and that pattern won't work for Indy or the Lone Ranger. I just used the small sheets of felt from Joann's.
