    Dr. Fate Advice Needed

    I'm getting the stuff together to do a Dr. Fate custom and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for a cool belt for him. I would like to do something other than the standard mego yellow belt and yellow trunks. Any suggestions? Also, is the medallion part of his mythology. I've looked at various versions and some include it and some don't.

    I used a yellow Conan belt for my Dr Fate and a King Arthur medallion. I was intentionally trying to use as many existing Mego parts as possible just a Mego did.

    Since this picture was taken I finished painting the head (white eye slits and flesh neck/ears)

      That looks really excellent! I like the way that belt looks.

        CTVT had a yellow Water Skiing belt on one of their Fonzie figures that was nice and wide, That's what I used on mine.

          I looked for that ski belt on CTVT but couldnt find it. Both yours and Marty's Dr. Fates look fantastic.

            I'll see if I have an extra belt when I get home from work, I'm not sure how many I had.

              I checked my parts bin, but no luck on the extra belt, sorry.

                Hey TomStrong,

                Here's a thread I posted a while back, showing that I had used Yellow Silicone Repair Tape to make a belt and gauntlets for Dr. Fate. It's $5.00 for the roll.
                You can cut a belt out of it in any shape that you want.
