Best removeable mask I have ever seen.

Perfect!

Very nice work, where did you get the wings?

Very nice work, where did you get the wings?

The helmet wings came from a small plastic bird I got in a set of such birds at Big Lots a few years ago. I also managed to get a nice Mego scale owl for a Dr. Mid-Nite out of that set.

The "flying" wings were from a Polar Lights reissue of an old Aurora monster model kit accessory set. They are supposed to go on a vulture.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice. I wouldn't dis on your own custom skills if I were you cuz this is tops. Always thought Hawkman would be one of the harder characters to pull off in a genuine Mego style but you've done it, RC no less. I'm curious, how did you attach the various elements to the cowl?

i must say chris all your work is great. you are a good customiser.

Thanks again guys. I guess I did beat up on myself pretty hard in my first post here. I'm my own worst critic. I really do want to improve though. Time will tell...

I'm curious, how did you attach the various elements to the cowl?

For the helmet I just cut down the repro Batman cowl's neck to make those things that hang down from Hawkman's cheekbones, and then I super-glued the wings on. I smoothed over the gaps with Model Magic and I also sculpted the beak that way. It's sticky enough to adhere and stay there, especially if you wet it somewhat.
