      John... I took your advice and threw a quick coat of paint on this guy (I didn't have green, so I "borrowed" some from one of my son's model race car kits). overall I'm pretty happy with it. Definitely not pro quality, but better than I thought I could do...

        Very cool looking. Any chance you would sell just the hair piece? I have a character that would look good with.

            I really admire this work. I was unsure till I saw it painted. If you need any Drac heads I have some .

                here are some updates on clothes. Jacket, spats and gloves to come...



                here's a close up...



                I think I'm going to redo the hairline a little. I played around in photoshop as to how I want it to look (I also need to shave down those biceps a tad)...

                    It's a Flattworld body. I may cast up some of my B-2 skinny bodies for this guy, too.

                      okay... I redid the back of the head and sanded him down a bit. I also gave him more of a mego-y paint scheme. better? worse? same???

                        I liked the original paint job better, I think it was the eyes.

                        Still, pretty neat take on the character.

                          I've been meaning to post this. Here's the head with the "base head" shown for comparison. I also threw in a mashup of the two. I originally wanted to take advantage of more of the lines on Uncle Sam's face to make the joker look meaner. however, the more I worked on him the more I kept covering them up.
