    Anyone make a good RED TORNADO???

    Red Tornado has been on my custom back burner since the dawn of me getting into this crazy hobby.
    Is there anybody out there (I don't care who) that has made a Red Tornado that they could say is pretty decent?
    I want to do a modern version of him (where his face looks more human) but something is nagging at me to make his classic look (after he joined the JLA and got a costume upgrade).

    I know he is sorta a B-lister character but I know (or thought I had saw) some really good Red Tornado customs on here.

    Anyone?

        Never seen this costume. Do you have any pics?

          I have Brians suit on mine. Used a generic hero head either from Brian or Doc, can't remember.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

            Really nice work Brian, REALLY nice. I've gotten some stuff from you ( and hope to get more in the future ) and it's always quality work.

                Brian, you nailed that classic Red Tornado look. I wanted to do the classic JLA one but have started to like his recent "more human like" android appearance.
                So, it will be a toss.

                ****, he even cries....

                        This is what I have going so far. This is just a rough shot. I'm still tweaking him a bit.

                            That's my favorite version too! I'm a fan of plasti-dip as well.
