Anybody has an idea/suggestions of what can I use to make the "Sun emblem" for the front of the belt/buckle?

Another belt and a paper punch?
Did you paint the eyes blue? They are terrific.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -
Thanks for the advice...and yes; the eyes were painted by one of the members here at the Mego Museum.

What do you mean by "sun emblem"?Comment

Superman's belt buckle has an emblem that is a symbolic representation of the sun.

Ah, gotcha. The oval buckle. I had never heard that was supposed to be a symbolic representation of the sun (which is a little odd, because the sun is spherical rather than oval... but I digress...).
You would have to paint it, but it would be really easy to make on a 3d printer and then just glue it on. I'm happy to help if you're interested.Comment

Yes, I would be very interested in having it 3d printed. I would like to have 4 of them and would gladly pay for your service. Thank you..
Sample Sun belt buckle below for 8" Custom Mego Superman....

Scrapbooking dots are extremely useful for such things. Places like Michaels, Jo Ann's or Hobby Lobby usually have this sort of thing: s-l640.jpg
The teeny tiny pearl dots like these are great when re-painted for things like metal bolts or fasteners/buttons.
