    The Golden Age Atom


    Definitely on my list this month. I have just about every main JSA guy in custom form but him. I have always wanted to tackle him. I got all the tools but I am not sure what kind of body to use.

    A lion rock teen is too small and making him average size is off.
    Doing research he comes in at
    Height: 5' 1" Weight: 150 lbs That is almost child size.

    Thoughts?

    He is pretty short compared to the other JSA'ers, but he is also very bulky. Every comic I read with him in it had him drawn very muscular. The DC Direct attempt at him was a joke. They made him way too small. What about an modified kid Mego body?

      I am thinking about pumping up a teen Lion rock body with sculptey. That might be my only bet.

        I think so too. You already draw very well so sculpting should not be a big deal for you.
        Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
        Samples of my work are found here: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness

        To do list:
        1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
        1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

          I'd like to see this guy as well.

          Super Sculpey is definitely the way to go to beef up the arms and legs somewhat.

          What kind of head are you going to use?

            Check out the hybrid body --- Lion Rock + Little Rascal body = a nice bulky body well proportioned .... It works.
            Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

              I already ground down an extra Dr. Mego rezin head of someone I had. Made it all smooth and round like his mask. It looks pretty neat so far.

              Yes, some of those are neat ideas if the materials are in front of you. I used to have a **** load of Heman figures. I gave them to my younger brother. I am going to call my mom and see if they are still around in her basement.

                This is the pic you looked at right?
                CTVT 6" and 5" bodies at 3 bucks each is a pretty cheap investment.
