Another Christopher Reeve Superman

[mikeoz]

When I saw Vinny0026's Chris Reeve Superman, I was inspired! I really liked his idea of using the RA suit and I was amazed by the head sculpt. Black Knight sent me the resin head and I honestly could not believe how much it looks like Christopher Reeve. In fact, the likeness is almost a little eerie. My painting doesn't do it justice.

I used a ZICA male body and the suit fits incredibly well on it. I designed a movie accurate S emblem and had Paul (Laser Mego) print it on vinyl. Overall, it's an easy custom, but really fun to make it.

Fantastic job! I love the paints you did and that emblem is just perfect. That really nails the entire look. As always your execution is superb.

Hey - Thanks for the shout out!
Yours came out awesome - looks great! I could not agree with you more about it looking eerie in person - it is like having mini Chris in your house. Anyone who has this head or has scene it in person knows what your talking about. It does come up well in pictures - but up close is scary good.

I forgot to cut the top of my boots! - I will do that when I get home.
Again great job - love it!
