    Atlas

    Hey Guys,

    Ron , BagMonster, Had a vision for a custom character that He wanted in his Mego Collection.



    Ron Sculpted the Mask & Hair Using Super Sculpty over a Mego Kirk Head.




    He then sent the Head to me. I put him on one of My Superman Torso's at his request. I used some Craft Foam over a Pair of CTVT AstroNaught Boots, to give them their size. I also used a piece of Craft foam to give the emblem its "Raised look". Vynil makes up for the belt & gaunlets. I used some Buttons for the boots , belt & Gaunlets, sanded off the backs with my Dremel, then Painted them up. Hand Sewn Suit & Shoulder Pads. I sewed the 2 layer Shoulder pad to the shirt. Box from Toyroom.

    Atlas }

    ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

                  Sweet job. I was thinking of doing him on a 12" body to keep him kinda in scale. You had some great ideas on the suit it looks awesome. Very nice detail.
                  It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                    who?

                    I've never heard of this character, but I love your custom figure. The exaggerated boots are my favorite detail.

                          As the lucky recipient of this custom, I thought it appropriate for me to comment. I put this guy on my "To Do" list about four years ago. I made the head at that time as well. I really sat on it for all this time becuase I had no idea how to get it done. As I've watched Jason churn out his customs, it seemed like a no-brainer. I am very appreciative that he chose to do this. It is definitely right up his alley. The proof is in the pictures.

                            I especially love those boots. Every time I try to do something with craft foam.....it looks like craft foam.
