    Finally started on Space Ghost

    I realize this is a pretty ho-hum custom for most of you but it is only my second project so i'm excited . Mixing Mego flesh color paint is a pain in the butt . I got it pretty close i think...... close enough anyway. EDIT to say that i didn't sculpt the head, i got it from Brian Leitner.

    That's how you do it! The perfect start! I did the same thing!
    My good pal Mike Hundley works on full costumes (hopefully he won't get too ****ed I put these up here) that fit human bodies. He hangs with a group of creative folks who goto the comic-cons to dress up in some of their endless suits.
    Most of the suits are padded that give him some intense muscles. You should see his Wolverine one.

    Anyway...
    Here's his Space Ghost suit.

        Your custom looks good man, look forward to seeing it finished. I've never done a Space Ghost personally, though I think he's great!

          I think Bill is onto something. That Batman head is the most used head (Removing the ears) as to starting off a Spaceghost.
          Right now as you can tell there is a yellow cape waiting to be made. Soon as Mike gets it back I'll post it up for anyone curious.

          Sorry, this is Bill's thread.

              You definitely nailed the flesh tone. Great start!

                I apologize. Bill is a good guy and I wanted to show him an idea. I just wanted to show him how a guy did a Spaceghost costume on a full sized body compared to a Mego. Hijacking was not my intention and I did not mean any trouble.
                I have nothing to do with the Spaceghost suit. No harm meant.
