    New Take on the The Old Red White & Blue

    I got inspired to finish this up this weekend.

    Back Story: Jason found this Cap head and sent it to me a while back and I was so imressed I had to build a figure for it.
    Standard Mego body, with LJN swivels.
    The hands were, um..borrowed from a little project we are working on
    The cuffs are reworked FC and are also being worked on
    The boots are ours with cuffs added...
    The suit is MEGO; darkened, sleeves corrected and proper belt added...
    Sheild is FC ( I think)...

          There's a slight Kirby quality to his face, and the otufit is top-notch!

          Super-clean, fantastic Cap! Best one I ever saw as well.

            Thanks! I couldn't agree more on the head (no doubt why Jason liked it) and that last pose was as Kirby-esque as I could get with my limited photo skillz

              I love the corrected costume too...I so wish Mego had done his costume like this.

                        nice job, it does have a Kirby look to it.
