    RED SKULL mark1

    My first custom in 10 years.

    I'm concerned about the paint job. I went for more realistic eyes but am thinking I should use just black/red dots like the comics. Thoughts?

    Mostly vintage figures. I have some repro pieces and a few customs from over the years.

      I definitely prefer this to the usual. I wouldn't change anything either. He really looks great, I can practically hear his horrific Nazi accent! Great uniform also.

        Thanks, guys. The uniform is pieced together...Klingon boots, Playing Mantis Action Jackson Spy shirt and Paco pirate pants all on an old Spidey T2 body. The head came from Ebay (Next to the last Mohican). Gunbelt is CTVT. I'm working on a permanent swastika sticker and have ordered a luger for him.

                Where did you get that head?

                Where did you get the pants?

                What source material did you use for this version?

                          That's a great looking Red Skull custom.When i first seen the picture i was going to suggest,"he needs a Luger" but i see you already have that covered.
