    Steve Austin .... Astronaut ... A Man Barely Alive

    Hi everyone -

    Well, like many members here I was (and still am) very excited for the Six Million Dollar Man line from Bif Bang Boom!, but was disappointed in their version of Steve Austin. Of course, that's what customizing is for!

    Here's some pics of my work in progress so far. With a great head sculpt by Bionic Joe (contact Joe at [email protected] if you want this sculpt. He had it to me in two days!). I wanted to do the bionic limbs along the line of the "Critical Mission" arms and legs from the original Kenner version. I wanted to get opinions on if I've made them "too busy".

    Recipe - Doc Mego body, arms and legs spray painted silver, hips spray painted red, Bionic Joe head sculpt, silver duct tape, black duct tape, stickers made from copier labels covered in clear tape.

        great head, it actually looks like Lee Majors. Neat work on the limbs.

            Yours looks awesome! I'm still working on mine...trying to find the perfect bionic implants for the arm and legs.

                  Very cool! That's how Steve Austin is SUPPOSED to look!
